World Trade Center: 2-Disc Commemorative Edition (HD DVD) | = |
Paramount are currently supporting both HD camps, which is nice. Although the content of both HD formats is identical, reviews of the North American Blu-ray disc state that the format uses MPEG-2 video compression, rather than the newer VC-1 codec adopted by HD DVD. This may be true for all Paramount Blu-ray releases. There are no HD DVD region coding restrictions at the moment. As with most other local HD DVD releases, ours is branded with European ratings logos. The North American release appears to be identical to ours. The Region 4 SD DVD disc of last month barely warrants comparison, given that the entire second disc of extras is not included. If you're not HD capable, the Region 1 Commemorative Edition appears to be the way to go. |
