The Future of Blu-Ray: Live Lookup, iPod Connectivity, No More Load Times, and More

Brendon Connelly from Slasfilm writes, "Last week, I got to attend Fox Home Entertainment's Blu-Ray press summit and interview several of the creators behind such films as Wolverine, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge and Fight Club.

Perhaps the highlight, however, was seeing the Fox team's presentations on the future of the Blu-Ray medium and how they're brewing up some tasty new functions and features for future releases. I'll detail it all after the break, from iPod touch and iPhone connectivity to Real-D style 3D for the home, and more in between."

"We’ve actually been looking at a project that will do away with that altogether and so that when you put the disc in and you’re watching some cards and you’re watching some trailers, in the background we’re doing all of the set up, we’re doing all of the loading, getting the disc ready to play the movie. This will dramatically decrease the time that many consumers experience when they put the disc in."
Awesome.

3.1 - Yeah
And lets not forget lossless audio for the win. Of course if your receiver does not do PCM or accept bitsteam you are only getting legacy audio like DD and plan old DTS.

I thought this had something to do with PS3. I would love to connect my IPhone to it. Anyone know how to get this feature to work?
