Hello Jeroen, A question about the Philips 21:9 set and Blu-Ray disks - as you've probably seen, subtitle placement varies from one disk to the other - the two lines of text sometimes appear over the active picture, or are split, with the upper line over active picture and the lower line over the black letterbox area. This seems to be entirely an authoring choice, and the viewer is not given the ability to move the subtitles within the player (I've heard that this is "not allowed" according to the standard). The subtitle placement currently causes problems in home theaters set up for anamorphic projection - the second line is cut off if full vertical stretch is used. I think there have been discussions in the Blu-Ray group to address this issue. Are you familiar with this?

I'll be there next Friday 11 September, most of the day. I remember meeting some of you in Amsterdam a couple of years ago, when there was an IBC dinner afterwards. I wouldn't mind shaking a few hands. Most of our AT lab people are coming too, and we're having a group dinner in "l'Express" (Utrechtsestraat 29) at 18h. I know that Mark Schubin will be in Amsterdam, but only from Saturday. He has something to look forward to, but I won't tell you what. Then, Mark has issued a "call for presentations" for the HPA Tech Retreat 2010. I might convince my management to send me next year (I had to cancel this year), and I might do so by proposing to present a paper, maybe about (application aspects of our) 21:9 aspect ratio TV. Do I hear any encouragements ? ;-) Groeten, -- Jeroen Jeroen H.
