DVD vs. Blu-ray vs. iTunes: What does it all mean?

Monday, May 11th, 2009
3514070900_29a2273957_o
Everyone,

I’d like to take a moment (or longer) to talk, not so much about April Showers, but about the technology behind the film as well as its distribution.As you are no doubt aware April Showers was filmed using new technologies and a format referred to as 4K. What 4K means is that the image itself is 4,000 pixels across by approximately 2,000 pixels tall. To put that into perspective the current resolution king in the home video space is Blu-ray with its 1080p resolution. 1080p simply means 1,920 pixels across by 1080 pixels tall. Which makes 4K basically four times the resolution of current HDTV sets. 4K is essentially the digital equivalent of 35mm film when it’s scanned into a computer, however when 35mm film is projected theatrically, because of the distance to the screen and light output, it’s actual quality is closer to 2K or 2,000 pixels across. Now there are 4K theatrical projectors and depending on where you saw April Showers in theaters you did view it through a 4K projector but for most digital cinemas you viewed a 2K version of the film.
When it comes to the home markets, i.e. DVD, Blu-ray and iTunes things get a bit more interesting because two factors come into play, image size and compression. A raw 4K frame, at least in the case of April Showers, is roughly 50MB, which is rather large. Even at the 2K level the frame is huge at anywhere between 25-30MB. However, a standard DVD is what we call standard definition, which is 720 pixels/scan lines wide by 480 pixels/scan lines tall and has a maximum disc capacity of 8.54GB if you’re using a single sided dual layered disc, which most DVD movies use. If you’re using a single sided non-dual layered disc then your storage capacity shrinks to 4.7GB. What dual layered means is that data is sandwiched on two layers on the same side of the disc resulting in a slight or sometimes not so slight pause of the content when viewing a film on DVD.
Not taking compression into consideration it stands to reason that taking a large file, like April Showers, and resizing it to fit on a DVD would make for a fine, very dense and detailed image. This is true, however, compressing April Showers, which is essentially a 50GB file in 2K to fit onto a 4.7 or 8.54GB DVD is quite a feat. Luckily, there are compression codecs that do a good to great job of getting all the data to fit but you will always be loosing some thing in the translation. I’m not bringing this up to warn you that April Showers on DVD is going to look bad, not at all, just thought perhaps you may want to know what goes into taking a film from the big screen to your living room. Other factors come into play as well such as special features, for they all require their own space on a disc which either means you have to compress the film’s image quality more or package multiple discs in a single case to accommodate everything. With April Showers we were able to fit the theatrical version of the film as well as all the special features and menus at a very good quality onto a single DVD which was no small feat.
Now, Blu-ray is a whole different animal for it can hold far more information as well as boasts a native resolution that is larger than standard definition DVD. A single layer Blu-ray disc can hold 25GB of data and a dual layer Blu-ray disc can hold 50GB. Taking April Showers from 2K at 50+GB is a lot easier and requires far less compression to get it down to 1080p at 25GB. Will the Blu-ray version of April Showers look better and be closer to the theatrical quality, yes, as it should. Also, due to the larger storage capacity, we’re able to fit more features on the Blu-ray than we can with the DVD.
Lastly, there is iTunes. Personally, I love iTunes and think that downloading movies and viewing them via home theater based computers or enabled streaming devices is absolutely going to become the standard over time. When iTunes first launched their video download service it left a lot to be desired, okay it was horrid. The video quality was on par with bad YouTube video, yet they felt that it was okay to charge customers $9.99 for the privilege. Happily, this is no longer the case as the format and technology behind it has improved exponentially resulting in video quality, on the low end, that rivals DVD and in the case of HD downloads from iTunes comes close to hitting the Blu-ray benchmark. In the case of April Showers, the iTunes file is basically the same as the DVD resolution however it uses a slightly different codec which enables the file size to shrink to a little over 1GB. Obviously, with regards to iTunes they don’t have fancy menus or special features to contend with hence the smaller file size.
Still with me?
The reason I bring this up or at least want to give you a crash course in today’s modern video formats is so that you have a better understanding as to what you’re buying/viewing so that you can maximize your experience, not only in regards to April Showers but for any film you choose to watch at home.
Sticking with iTunes for a moment. iTunes content can be viewed in a number of cool and unique ways. It can be viewed via your computer screen, which if you have a 16×9 or 16×10 monitor is probably going to boast an HD or 1080p beating resolution which is great for viewing movies on a small scale at your desk or on a laptop. You can also view April Showers on your iPhone or iPod Touch, which is going to be a slightly smaller experience but still very clear. You can even view your downloaded content on an iPod video, which is the smallest of them all but arguably the most portable. The nice thing about iTunes is that you only have to download one file and the various Apple products will perform the down convert either at the software/hardware level or in the transfer itself. So purchasing April Showers on iTunes is a bit like getting 3-4 versions of the movie in one, which is why I believe in iTunes and the service they provide.
One quick side note, my discussing iTunes and/or support for their products is by no means the result of being paid to endorse iTunes and/or Apple. Though I wish I were being paid to endorse iTunes and/or Apple, but that is not the case.
Moving on. Beyond watching April Showers on your iPhone or computer there is a really cool product out there called the AppleTV, which allows you to view your iTunes purchased content on your TV, or better still, your HDTV.
The AppleTV is where things get interesting for me not only as a filmmaker but as a distributor of films as well. For starters, the AppleTV does not require a computer or Mac in order to operate; it only requires an Internet connection, preferably a wireless one. So you PC users out there can keep your PC’s and PC based laptops and still use an AppleTV for viewing content on your HDTVs etc. However, if you have an iTunes account on your current home computer the AppleTV will interface with it (wirelessly) allowing you to stream music, television and movies to any TV connected to an AppleTV.
On the simple side you can purchase a single AppleTV for, I think, $229 retail and connect it to your HDTV via an HDMI cable and begin renting/buying movies via iTunes and watching them on your big screen TV within a matter of minutes. Via an AppleTV you’ll have access to the entire iTunes music library as well as television and movies. You can even view/listen to podcasts for free as well as view/search YouTube and Flickr. Anything you purchase/download will be stored locally on the AppleTV’s internal hard drive until you chose to erase it. On a slightly more technical side you can do what I do, which is maintain a central server that houses all my movies, music etc and use the AppleTV to stream that content wirelessly throughout my entire house. The reason this is so cool, at least to me, is that it’s relatively instantaneous and so easy to use. As a filmmaker I want to put as few obstacles between my content and you the viewer and iTunes and the AppleTV has done that. I truly believe that the film industry as a whole has to embrace the idea that content must be made available to the consumer on their time/schedule versus the studios.
The more we get used to downloading movies versus buying/renting discs the better the technology will become. Another nice benefit to downloads is the green principle. Downloads produce less waste, take up less space and are cheaper in the long term. Imagine housing thousands of movies on a single drive accessible by a small box, roughly the size of five CD cases stacked on top of one another and having a total entertainment system. No more shelving, no more scratched discs, no more wasteful slipcovers or needless packaging that only drives the cost up, not your enjoyment.
Okay, so enough about iTunes, let’s talk Blu-ray for a moment. Blu-ray, a format pioneered by Sony, is the only true or full HD format available to consumers today, boasting full 1080p resolution with the capability to play back uncompressed audio in either Dolby TrueHD or DTS Master Audio. To date, no other format before or current can match the quality of Blu-ray and/or gets you closer to the theater experience. That being said Blu-ray is still a small percentage of the overall marketplace though it is growing each and every quarter. As the retail price on Blu-ray players comes down more and more users are snatching them up. However, one thing that many consumers don’t know is that most Blu-ray players (I’d venture to say all by this point) are better standard DVD players than many of the players consumers currently own. What this means is by upgrading your player by purchasing a Blu-ray player you’re effectively getting two players in one, saving you space and money over time. Most Blu-ray players don’t just stop at being able to play back and upscale DVD’s, many or most can play MP3 burned discs, CD’s, SACD, as well as photo discs. If you haven’t yet purchased a Blu-ray player now is good time. If you have an HDTV (720p or better) and you’re currently using a DVD player that is 18 months old or older you’ll get more value for your money by investing in a new Blu-ray player than by hanging onto your old DVD spinner. If you want to view April Showers in as close to theater quality as possible as well as enjoy a barrage of new special features than Blu-ray is the only way to do so. There are currently a number of Blu-ray players on the market that retail for around $200.00 but there are a few things you want to take into consideration making your purchasing decision. Here is a list of features to look for when purchasing a player:
·Ethernet or wireless upgradeability (this is important)
·Profile 2.0 at least
·Full 1080p/24p playback
·1080p upsampling
·Support for uncompressed audio playback (Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio)
·CD, DVD, MP3 etc. playback capability
A few nice things possibly worth spending a little extra on:
· Multi-channel analog audio outputs
· Gold plated stereo analog audio outputs (for use when playing back music CDs)
· Extra format support such as SACD, DVD-A, etc.
· An easy to use, backlit remote control
Personally, I’ve found the Sony PS3 and Sony BDP-S350 to be two of the best affordable Blu-ray players for sale today.
One last thing to take into consideration with regards to everything I’ve mentioned above is that first and foremost you’re going to need an HDTV of some sort or quality to take full advantage of all the performance you’ve been reading about. HDTV’s are becoming more and more affordable everyday but, like all new formats, can be confusing when it comes time to buy. At a basic level you’ll want to make sure your HDTV purchase includes the following:
· True 1080p/24p capability and playback
· Multiple HDMI inputs (at least 3)
· Energy Star compliant
Some things to consider:
· 120Hz MotionFlow technology (not really necessary, I personally can’t stand it).
· LCD versus Plasma. Plasma is going to be more expensive to operate than LCD.
· Look at LED, though it may cost a premium due to it being new technology. LCD is bound to be the most affordable alternative.
· Don’t buy to big. While there may be a smokin’ deal on a 55-inch display, if you only sit six feet away you’re going to be hating life after about fifteen minutes.
If you’re looking for brands to consider, I personally stick to Vizio and Samsung. Vizio is a great budget conscious brand that will get you into the HDTV game and Samsung has a number of affordable sets that are top-notch performers when compared to the costlier competition.
I want to thank you for taking the time to read through all this techno mumbo jumbo with me. I only bring it up and wish to make the information available to you so that you can maximize your entertainment experiences as well as hopefully arm you with a bit of knowledge so you don’t go spending your money on needless features. Remember, regardless of which route you choose to go for your home viewing needs you should always take a few minutes to calibrate your TV or HDTV for best results.
Thank you all, have a great weekend, take care and stay tuned…
Andrew

#1 on iTunes and Other DVD/iTunes Release Notes

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

3507214081_99884625b8_o

Everyone,

I hope this latest blog finds you all well. Yesterday was one heck of a day, as we launched April Showers on DVD and iTunes. Before I get into that I want to fill you in on Monday night’s special engagement screenings that took place in Los Angeles and Colorado. Starting with Los Angeles, the screening was a huge success as the film played to a near capacity crowd (the front row was largely empty) at The Bridge Cinema De Lux in Marina Del Rey. The reaction was hugely positive and I was able to speak to a number of guests following the screening. As I understand it, a number of folks remained in the lobby discussing the film for a full hour afterwards, which I didn’t get a chance to witness for I was entertaining a number of guests outside; unaware of the gathering. So, first and foremost I want to say thank you to everyone who came out and showed their support for the film in LA. I wasn’t at the Colorado screening but have been told that it went well and that there was a good crowd that was able to make the Monday evening time. Anybody hailing from Colorado who would like to chime in on the screening please feel free to do so for I am curious to hear your reactions.
So, yesterday morning saw the official release of April Showers on iTunes and DVD via IndieFlix.com. I have a couple of notes/updates regarding both formats but I’ll start with the most exciting news first. As of about 1:00pm yesterday afternoon April Showers was the #1 Independent Download from iTunes, which is amazing and left me speechless. For anyone who knows me or has spent more than five minutes with me knows that speechless is hard for me to do, so thank you everyone for making that possible. I hope that we can keep that title and grow from here, perhaps land ourselves in the top 10 overall. I’m not asking you to go out and download April Showers 10 times or more, just keep doing what you’re doing in helping us get the word out to people who may or may not know about what we’re up to yet. Regardless of the outcome(s) I am in awe of this whole process and everyone’s dedication to this project, we’ve really become the ‘little indie that could’.
Yesterday, at launch, April Showers was not listed in the top 100 overall sales list on iTunes movies, by mid day we had cracked the top 100 overall list and as of this morning we’re ranked number 37. We’re still #1 in the independent downloads and #11 in the overall drama category, carrying an overall user generated rating of four and a half stars.
Now, with regards to the DVD, like I said in yesterday’s post they are beginning to ship from our west coast location so some of you may have longer waits than others but they are going out this week and you should receive them in short order. We’ve been getting a lot of questions regarding what is on the DVD in terms of features etc. Well, the DVD that is shipping this week will include the film, a full-length feature commentary, both trailers and a poster slideshow.
The Blu-ray that will be released in early June will include the film, behind the scenes footage, deleted scenes, multiple commentaries, over 100 production photos, poster slide show, trailers and more. Due to the larger storage capacity of Blu-ray discs we’re able to put more on the disc while still keeping costs low, also the video on the Blu-ray disc will be superior to that on the DVD and closer to the quality audiences saw in theaters.
We’re working on expanding April Showers’ distribution on DVD, Blu-ray and beyond via other means such as NetFlix, Amazon, Target stores etc and will let you know when it happens, however, if you want to get your copy now or sooner than later you can purchase them through this website/IndieFlix.com or via iTunes.
Lastly, I want to talk about the soundtrack for a moment if I may. I’m not sure how many of you know or are aware how AmazonMP3 works since it’s somewhat new. Well, if you’re at all familiar with iTunes then AmazonMP3 will function exactly the same, it will even upload directly to your iTunes player or what ever your default player is on your computer. The files are DRM Free meaning they can be transferred freely between computers, portable players etc and are at a higher bit rate (better quality) than many of iTunes’ own files. The soundtrack will be available on iTunes very soon, but we wanted to give AmazonMP3 a try for I thought it was kind of a cool service and could save you guys a little bit of money since the entire album goes for $7.99 via Amazon where as iTunes, I believe, will be charging $9.99. If you have an Amazon account making your AmazonMP3 purchase is a single click away. I do want to be clear though, the April Showers score will not be offered as a standalone disc in stores. It is download only through one of our numerous outlets. If you want a physical disc you’ll have to download the album and burn it to a CD-R, which isn’t terribly difficult. We’re keeping the soundtrack download only because we want to cut down on waste, keep the price low, as well as take advantage of the latest portable music technology that so many have embraced in this ever changing digital landscape.
Well, that’s all I have for updates now, but there is more coming I promise you. So until next time, take care and stay tuned…
Andrew

April Showers Updates & More

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

3502836058_4851b063e0_o

Everyone,

Good afternoon, I wanted to update you all about the latest happenings here at April Showers as well as give you a glimpse into the future. As you know April Showers released in theaters on April 24, 2009 in 18 locations across the country, largely centered in the Midwest and East Coast. The week long run of our theatrical engagements went well and in some cases/cities exceptionally well. In the case of The Rave Theater Westroads 14 multiplex in Omaha, Nebraska we were the number one film that week in the theater and were invited to extend our stay for a week two, which wraps up on Thursday, May 7. I received word this morning that despite the release of the new Wolverine film as well as several other top performers already in theaters, April Showers continues to do very well theatrically in its second week. There are rumors (which I can not confirm at this time) that we may play a third week at the Westroads 14 Theater, so thank you everyone in Omaha as well as everyone around the country who came out and supported us in theaters these past two weeks. In the coming weeks I’ll be putting together a public list of schools that will be receiving donations so you’ll be able to see first hand how your patronage helped high schools across the country.
Tonight we are hosting two special screenings of the film in Colorado and Los Angeles and expect a good turn out in those locations. If they go well we will be discussing the possibility of doing more special engagements (one night only screenings) in other locations. I promise to keep you posted on the latest developments surrounding the current screenings and/or future screenings. If you’d like to attend tonight’s screenings there are still a few tickets left so you can jump online and purchase them via Movietickets.com or venture down to the box office at the theater and hope you’re not to late. I apologize in advance to anyone unable to get into this evening’s shows.
Tomorrow marks the official release of the film on iTunes as well as on DVD. I would like to clarify a few points regarding the iTunes/DVD release since I realized over the weekend that I might not have been clear enough through this whole process. First, if you pre-ordered the film on iTunes or order it tomorrow and the days that follow, the film will immediately download to your iTunes account for you to enjoy within a couple of minutes of making your purchase. If you pre-ordered on iTunes, most likely, you’ll wake up tomorrow with April Showers sitting in your que/playlist for you to enjoy. By purchasing the film on iTunes you’ll be able to view the film on your computer, iPod, iPod Touch, iPhone or other compatible portable device. You’ll be able to view April Showers on your TV or HDTV by simply connecting your computer to your television set or via an Apple TV, which is a small box that can interface with your iTunes account and stream your music and movies wirelessly to your television or home entertainment system. Personally, I use Apple TVs around my house and encourage you to check it out if you’re so inclined. Please note, my mentioning and/or endorsing Apple TV or iTunes does not result in me getting any money or kick back, I just think it’s a cool product that I think a lot of you may like.
As for the DVD release of April Showers there are a few things I’d like to point out/clarify. First, if you pre-ordered the DVD it will ship tomorrow so you can expect it in a few days. If you’re not one for pre-ordering and you wish to order your copy tomorrow then it will ship tomorrow or Wednesday depending on what time you place your order. The same will hold true for the days, weeks, months and years that follow, your copy will ship the day you order and the same is true for the Blu-ray disc, which will ship beginning June 5. Now, if you didn’t pre-order because you were planning on running down to your local video store, Best Buy etc to purchase a copy I’m sorry but you’ll be disappointed for you won’t find us there. In order to keep the cost of the disc down and be able to offer it to you at a price point we felt was advantageous to you we are only selling the DVD/ Blu-ray via our website or via IndieFlix.com at this time. We are looking into other channels and avenues but want to ensure that these opportunities don’t result in you being over charged for something we all know should cost less.  So, if you want your very own copy of April Showers on DVD or Blu-ray you’ll have to place your order through the website for the time being. As soon as that changes I’ll let you know. We’re currently talking with a number of rental chains, especially NetFlix, and hope to have copies of the movie to them within the month so that some of you with April Showers in your rental cue will be able to enjoy the film at home.
Also this week, I will announce the winner of my photo challenge that I put out prior to our theatrical release. It’s not to late to get your photos in but you have until Wednesday. The winner will receive an autographed copy of the DVD with the runners up receiving posters. I’m thinking about doing another contest next week so stay tuned for that.
Lastly, I would like to talk about a little thing I did on Friday of last week. Last Friday I was invited to speak at the West Valley Leadership Academy in Los Angeles. The West Valley Leadership Academy is a small school (20 or so students) that is dedicated to changing the lives of young people grade school- high school who are or have had issues pertaining to drug use, gang activity and beyond. The school was founded and run by Paul D. White. Mr. White was kind enough to invite me to speak to his students and we had a lively discussion for over two hours about a myriad of topics ranging from communication to the media and even Swine Flu. Yes, Swine Flu. I had a wonderful time and the entire exchange was video taped by Cindy and we hope to have snippets of it online soon. It was a truly unique and amazing experience for me and hopefully the students and one I hope to repeat in the future.
So that’s what is going on today in the world of April Showers. Stay tuned this week for more updates and news and thank you all once again for your support. Take care.

Do people really want to pay for streaming?

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

IndieFlix is finally putting 60 titles up on our site for streaming in addition to their DVD delivery.  We will then start rolling out about 50 more titles every few weeks.  I can’t help but think, do people really want to pay for streaming to watch a movie on their computers?  Sometimes I think yes, look at iTunes and other times I say no way, look at Hulu, Joost, YouTube etc.

I watch TV content on Joost and Hulu and it’s free, there are ads but I’m used to them.  In fact there are a lot less ads in online content than on prime time TV.  Truth be told I watch Hulu more than Joost and yet Joost has been phenomenal to work with and I like their social networking component but I like the content on Hulu better.  Our IndieFlix channel is launching soon on Hulu I’m pretty excited.

I’ve drifted off topic here, but my gut says people want to watch content online for free or pay for a DVD.  I think when the TV and the internet marry then perhaps more of us will pay to watch an ad free movie right?  I recently bought an On Demand movie on Comcast and paid $6.95.  I should go back to my video store or better yet spend $3 more and see it on the big screen.  There are so many models out there.  It’s kind of exciting to see what will ultimately become best practice.  I would love to hear some feedback.
