Sony Pictures Home Entertainment president Benjamin Feinhold said today that his company’s first Blu-ray movie titles are ready to be released May 23, as promised, but the company is going to delay release until June 20 to better coincide with the availability of the Blu-ray players.

Samsung previously announced its Blu-ray players would be delayed until June 25 in order to compete compatibility testing.

The move is an attempt to make Blu-ray’s launch more coordinated than the awkward roll-out of Toshiba’s competing HD DVD next-generation disk format, which saw limited availability of HD DVD players before HD DVD titles were available.

Sony’s first Blu-ray titles are scheduled to include action flicks designed to appeal to the early-adopter, tech-centered crowd: Underworld Evolution (scheduled to release in Blu-ray the same day as standard DVD), The Fifth Element,House of Flying Daggers,A Knight’s Tale,Resident Evil Apocalypse, and XXX, plus comedies Hitch and 50 First Dates and music flick The Last Waltz.

The company has confirmed its next HDR format, and it’s arriving on a popular OTT platform this month, beating Dolby Vision 2 to the punch.

Google Drive steps up its video collaboration game with timestamped comments
Google Drive's timestamped comments pin feedback to exact moments in videos.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with many video editors and content creator friends of mine, often pointing out things like how the text isn’t visible around the two-minute mark or how the transition in the opening sequence feels a little off. 

However, most of the time, they would end up scrubbing through the whole clip trying to find what I meant, or they'd ask me to send a screenshot of the exact moment I was referring to. Considering I wasn’t charging anything to spot those issues, that extra effort always stung a little. Thankfully, Google’s latest Workspace update finally fixes that.
