but the OTHER PIXAR flicks all used a different mode to generate their DVD's then regular movies. Instead of starting from the film source and "scanning" the features into a digital form, the PIXAR flicks all REGNERATED their movies into a frame-rate and picture frame size that was specific for DVD. They even reblock and "reshoot" scenes for the 4:3 versions of the flicks. They used a "pure" digital source mastered specifically to the DVD video specs. (They basically RE-RENDER the entire movie, tuned to NTSC instead of 24p).

My GUESS is that they want to do that again for hi-def content, and since it's a new format, they may need more time to make sure they are getting the best possible picture for HD-DVD/Blu-Ray media.

Just guessing. Have no inside knowledge of it.]]>Aug 4th 2006 5:17PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/08/04/disneys-cars-dvd-dated-no-blu-ray-release-in-sight/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/08/04/disneys-cars-dvd-dated-no-blu-ray-release-in-sight/Aug 4th 2006 11:26PM
