Is this film different to Raavan (apart from the cast/language)? Is the screenplay exactly the same, or are there any differences in it?

is there any chance that the hindi version will use the same master? Those screens look fantastic.

They might use DPX 4k files....however they might not produce the same results. They won't have me supervising the process, nor have the wonderful team of AP International doing the excellent encoding work :D I believe this disc is our best work....surpassing Sivaji Blu-ray.

I doubt Mr Chandna can better this version. His blu-rays have yet to impress me (or others), but I welcome the competition :)

his blu rays are well respected by all the others ghajini wake up sid paa mnik ihls etc all are critically appreciated and atleast acccording to me he encodes the best out here i havnt watched any of your tamil films as i dont understand this language so cant comment much on them .....anywayz he is a very strong competitor :)

@Sunny
Any reason why this time you didnt fill up the entire BD-50 as done in most of the previous Blu-ray releases.

Maxing up disc space via increased bitrate doesn't mean better quality. AVC codec uses a far more complex encoding system. Its all about knowing where to allocate correct bitrate information to certain frames/scenes. Since we use Nth multipass encode we are able to grab the best quality possible. It’s pointless to allocate 40Mbit of video encoding to a slow moving scene (unless there are lots of background movement). 30Mbit/sec or even 25Mbit/sec can provide just as good quality.

In addition, the film is short and we nearly use up 40Mbit/sec of video encode during busy scenes, and we average around 30Mbit/sec - which is excellent for blu-ray.

I could talk about this forever... :)

yes there's plenty of low bit rate stuff out there that still looks pretty impressive. It's not the same as mpeg2.

Its really good to know that Tamil Blu-ray authoring are at the hands of an expert. One thing which I feel disappointed with Tamil Blu-ray being the audio bit depth in invariably 16 bit which IMHO is more of CD quality. Is this because the original audio master is recorded at 16 bit instead of 24bit or is it because of some other restriction. 24bit audio bit depth would definitely do better justice for Blu-rays, ofcourse just padding 16 to 24 would be pointless.
