Maybe French subtitles for the hard of hearing, but that's all.

Most non-French-language titles released by Studio Canal contain forced (non-removeable) subtitles. So if watching a movie with French subtitles throughout bothers you, you're out of luck.]]>Jul 19th 2006 11:40AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/19/studiocanal-hd-dvd-releases-encoded-at-1080p-24p-easy-imports/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/19/studiocanal-hd-dvd-releases-encoded-at-1080p-24p-easy-imports/Jul 19th 2006 12:32PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/19/studiocanal-hd-dvd-releases-encoded-at-1080p-24p-easy-imports/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/19/studiocanal-hd-dvd-releases-encoded-at-1080p-24p-easy-imports/
I wouldn't be surprised if Terminator 2 for HD DVD from Studio Canal looks better than the Blu-ray release here. They are working with Microsoft to ensure a quality release on their titles, similar to Universal and Warner here in States.]]>Jul 19th 2006 2:29PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/19/studiocanal-hd-dvd-releases-encoded-at-1080p-24p-easy-imports/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/19/studiocanal-hd-dvd-releases-encoded-at-1080p-24p-easy-imports/Jul 19th 2006 3:50PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/19/studiocanal-hd-dvd-releases-encoded-at-1080p-24p-easy-imports/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/19/studiocanal-hd-dvd-releases-encoded-at-1080p-24p-easy-imports/
But I guess with StudioCanal being an HD-DVD supporter, *Blueberry* won't be released on Blu-Ray for now. I think I can live without that, although *Brotherhood of the Wolf* would seriously rock in HD (Monica Bellucci in HD, yes!). Although it would be nice to see HD masters of the old non-canon "Dr. Who" films that Peter Cushing starred in that were shot in 35mm Technicol(u)r goodness back in the 60s. They looked incredible on vanilla DVD. And I do believe it is StudioCanal that holds the rights to them currently.]]>Jul 20th 2006 12:34PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/19/studiocanal-hd-dvd-releases-encoded-at-1080p-24p-easy-imports/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/19/studiocanal-hd-dvd-releases-encoded-at-1080p-24p-easy-imports/at 24p because 25i (50Hz) is not approved by DVD Forum
