This section is for discussion regarding Arundathi BD, the first Telugu Blu-Ray coming out from RVR. I spoke to the VP of the company and he immediately wanted to hear what we customers have to say regarding the contents of the Blu-Ray which is in the authoring phase. I have invited him here and he was kind enough to set up an account and reply to all our queries.

Cheers!

Thank you,

Glad to know that Arundathi is coming out on BluRay can you give us some more details regarding the audio and video that you guys plan to include in the disc. Are you guys using DTS HD-MA or LPCM or DD True HD for audio? What is the source for the master? D5 HD or DPX?

Any chance of teaser samples in form of screen shots

We will be having Dolby Digital True Surround Sound Audio. The source for video is DPX.

When is this supposed to hit the streets? And what exactly does "RVR" do? A little background info would be nice. Have seen your name around at the iDream forums.

Apart from DD TrueHD would you be adding a second lossy soundtrack too? Are there going to be any extras in the disc? Any idea of the size of the media is 25GB BluRay disc or 50GB BluRay disc?

The planned date of release is Oct 15th. www.rvrmall.com will be updated soon the confirmed date. To know more about RVRi, We invite you to go through our company profile, its activities/business/ideas/plans/products at http://www.rvrinfra.com.

Thank you,

That will be the only audio track that is planned to go onto the disc. Yes, there are going to be extras like the making of the movie, interviews, deleted scenes which were hand picked from the bunch to accommodate on one disc. It will be in BD25, best suggested by our engineers.

Thank you,

Thats good to know, would have personally I would have preferred DTS HD-MA. At least you guys arent making the mistake made by zEros by violating BluRay standards and not adding any HD audio. Was surprised YRF went that way also. Which labs are you getting this authored at, Prasad's EFX lab? Since its BD25 are you going with Variable Bit Rate (VBR) for the video instead of Constant Bit Rate (CBR)?

How long is this film?

2hrs 6 mins.

The movie will be in VBR.

Thank you,

Based on all the information provided, I am looking forward to order the BluRay when it is released. Will the be a chance to pre-order the discs?

We will look forward to earn your business. Please check www.rvrmall.com for more status updates on the Blu-ray release.

Thank you,

Are there any updates on this, or is the disc still expected on the 15th as mentioned on the website?
