 Now that it has thrown its support behind Blu-ray, Warner Home Entertainment president Kevin Tsujihara has announced that the company has plans to introduce its first Profile 1.1 compliant movies to the market in the near future.
In doing so, Warner will follow other Blu-ray camp studios in producing discs with 1.1-enabled features. Blu-ray players with Profile 1.1 compliance have been in stores for a couple of months now.
Although they have previously used HD DVD's HDi interactivity technology on their discs, the new titles will be the first with profile 1.1 features. Tsujishara added that the first profile 1.1-enabled discs to hit the market would be the dozen titles that Warner had previously used HDi with. Those titles had been used to "deliver the studio's "In Movie Experience" picture-in-picture video commentary and other interactive features."
"We held off releasing them on Blu-ray because we wanted to be able to have the full interactivity," said Tsujishara. "At this point in time, we're still working out all the kinks [with the technology], but they will be released soon."
Although he did not release any street dates, he did mention that 'Batman Begins,' and the 'Matrix' trilogy would be a few of the first discs to hit stores.
