as Mark Waldrep (aka Dr. AIX on Audio Asylum) has revealed in the most recent AIX Records newsletter that he'll be producing on Blu-ray in the coming months:

"Version 4 of our sampler will also include a second disc...a Blu-Ray disc with high definition audio AND video. Many audiophiles aren't interested in the HD Video that we shoot with each new production, but they might get a kick out of the new 7.1 mixes that we're doing. Yep, all of the tracks on the new BD sampler will have multiple 7.1 mixes encoded using Dolby Digital TrueHD. The disc will be among the first to feature REAL 96 kHz/24-bit lossless audio in 7.1. Even the movie studios are dumbing down their audio to 48 kHz/24-bits.

Additionally, I've decided to bit the bullet and create a few Blu-Ray titles as stand alone products. The details haven't been worked out but it seems like the right time to issue a few of our HD Audio/Video recordings on the format. Unlike most record labels, we have HD Video of the recording sessions. It's pretty cool to imagine the band/artist setting up in your media room or home theater and having them play a private concert for you...in HD Audio and HD Video."
