Yesterday we told you that the first season of the classic "Trek" has arrived on Blu-ray, and now we're back to report that all six of the "first generation" films have also made their way to HD. Remastered in high-def and sporting new audio tracks, the collection presents the "Star Trek" films as they have never been seen before.

Two different packages have been assembled, one collecting all six films and another collecting the first three. Each of the films carries over the special features from previous releases, but more importantly delivers nearly three hours of brand new bonus content specially recorded in high-def (and 14 hours total including the standard-def extra).

Those of us who choose poorly on the high-definition format war now have slightly more reason to celebrate. Fifteen months after going Blu-ray-only, Warner Bros. has launched the "Red2Blu" program.

The initiative will allow customers to swap their HD-DVD discs with their Blu-ray counterparts for a nominal charge of $4.95 plus $6.95 shipping and handling. Participants in the program are instructed to mail in the cover art to quality for the trade-in, which is in contrast to similar programs which require the original disc to be returned.

Attention "High School Musical" fans...your Zac Efron parties are about to getting a little more exciting. That's because Disney is set to launch something called the Disney BD Live Network, coming soon to a Blu-ray player near you.

The free service (included on every Disney Blu-ray disc starting with "Sleeping Beauty" on October 17) will connect BD Live-enabled movies to the Internet, allowing a variety of interactive features to be downloaded to the disc. Among the most impressive? The ability for folks to sync their players together and (provided everyone owns the movie) watch the film in real-time together with on-screen chatting capabilities. This means the next time a "High School Musical" flick hits Blu-ray, teens can hold a virtual party with friends anywhere in the country, chatting together and pausing to gush over Zac's mezmorizing wink. Or even more OMG-worthy, that Disney can hold a live viewing for fans with Zac and the cast, with everyone's machines sync'd together across America as they provide commentary and respond to questions.

Well, there goes the high-definition format war. Warner Bros., which lays claim to the biggest film library of them all, has announced that it is dropping support for HD DVD and will support Blu-ray exclusively come May 2008. The news comes a day after I convinced fellow blogger Josh Horowitz to lay down cash for a Toshiba HD DVD player, and a month after I purchased my own unit (the saving grace is it was pretty cheap and it's still good for upconverting regular DVDs).

The decision more or less dooms the HD DVD format which was launched in 2005 by Toshiba and Microsoft (who back it through their Xbox 360 console), and which now counts Paramount, DreamWorks and Universal as its only exclusive supporters (and since Universal isn't under a contract, it has the ability to switch to Blu-ray should it wish to). Blu-ray, on the other hand, will have Sony (who created it), Fox, Disney, WB, New Line, Lionsgate and MGM. The news will hopefully mean a price drop for Blu-ray players which have traditionally been more expensive than their HD DVD brethren.
