Sony Pictures completes first Blu-ray movie

Blu-ray technology made a symbolic leap with news that Sony Pictures has completed its first high-definition feature film on a Blu-ray disc. The movie,  "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," was compressed and authored in MPEG 2 full high-definition (1920 x 1080 megapixels) by Sony's Digital Authoring Center (DAC), the company said.  The disc is being shipped to Blu-ray disc hardware companies for player testing. It's a significant milestone, but it follows last week's news of a conflict between Hewlett Packard and the Blu-ray Disc Association that may prompt the No. 2 PC maker to support both next-generation DVD formats, Blu-ray and HD-DVD.
