New Blu Ray releases are just the most recent embodiment of the idea in the famous phrase of French origin that translates as “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” That’s because just as with the introduction of DVD a decade earlier, not every release in the new Blu-ray format lives up to the potential of the technology. Clearer images? Digital audio delivered across more than seven discrete channels, including the subwoofer? Not always, notwithstanding the 25 GB of space offered on conventional single-layer discs. Even if nothing compared to the numbers affected with DVD, when VHS got sent right to disc, still too many a Blu-ray title seems rather like the DVD version!
