    Dark Knight audio problems

    Maybe, your name is familiar. However, I JUST got the stuff from WB to exchange my disc for a new one. I will fill this out tomorrow and mail it off Monday. I just hope that this doesn't take too long. And that it works out in the end.

    Dark Knight audio problems

    Only problem with that is this is the second disc from Amazon with the same problem (in the same place). I think this was a bad batch of discs but there are very few complains. But at least 2 discs I have had both from Amazon have had this problem.

    Dark Knight audio problems

    I thought I already mentioned this but... I am running the latest, 2.53, on my PS3. I never said the PS3 streams TrueHD or DTS-HD MA. I already know it doesn't. The PS3 can stream only PCM and will convert all other HD/lossless formats into PCM before streaming that. It decodes/converts all...

    Dark Knight audio problems

    I ran some tests on my system on this... First, I want to say that I tested ONLY the first 6 minutes of the movie, the first IMAX scene. During the movie, at exactly 3 minutes and 38 seconds, the sound drops out, just as the bank manager is yelling at the robbers, shooting at joker. I...

    Dark Knight audio problems

    No popping sounds. Everything sound great when the sound is on. But it just goes all the way out. I just got a new subwoofer from Polk, but that is the only thing I changed to my system and other movies don't seem to go out so it is unique to this disc. The speakers are not blown out, I...

    Dark Knight audio problems

    Well my PS3 has not requested that I update, and usually it does when i access things like Home. I will check again, but I am pretty sure I updated it not that long ago. If it is the problem, then great, but otherwise, there is something els going on. I will check later tonight, just to be...

    Dark Knight audio problems

    I have not tried the focus point... not even sure what that is, I assume it is an extra that runs while the movie is playing. I will look at my PS3, but I know it has the latest firmware upgrade. I will try to reinstall it, but I am not exactly sure how to do that. I'll let you know if there...

    Dark Knight audio problems

    I am an avid Blu-ray fan, very active in the Blu-ray.com forums. However I have run into an issue that no one there seems to be familiar with. I got The Dark Knight as a Christmas gift, which is awesome. However, once I started to watch it, I noticed that the sound went out about 9 or 10...

    Is the format war about to resurface? Does Toshiba have the Blu-ray killer?

    As a professional high end Imaging Technician, the thought of a computer automating a clean up of that type scares me. It can be "trained" to look for signs of artifacts and noise and compression and anything else... but what it sees might very well NOT be an artifact at all. Even the best...

    *** Official WALL-E Discussion Thread

    i think that the other ships are still out there, but that the Flagship, being the Axiom, is in charge of the "EVE" robots and the Earth mission. In other words, if they go back and find that Earth is good to return, then they will send word to the other ships. That was my impression at least...

    Sony releases v2.40 firmware for PS3

    Awesome news! That is a great update! In addition, or gamers, it adds in-game XMB and Trophies, 2 really big updates themselves. With updates like these, it is like getting a new PS3 every time it upgrades! :D I will check this out tonight. I have some movie files on there I can watch...

    This is when Blu-ray starts to piss me off.

    Wow.. this thread has gone in a bad direction fast... from the first post in fact... heck, from the title. One thing I don't get is why so many assume they need to buy a new library when they get Blu-ray. DVDs play on all Blu-ray players, and are up-converted too. They look great on my PS3...

    Any decent floor standing speakers in my budget? or should I buy cheap and save?

    I am in the market for these too. I have found that the Monitor series by Polk, for just a little more than the basic one, is much better. I have not purchased on yet, waiting a little, but I hope to get something soon. But now I'll have to try out those Infinity speakers you listed...

    Is the format war about to resurface? Does Toshiba have the Blu-ray killer?

    So far, they have only compared their images to standard non-up-converted DVDs. For all we know, they will look no better than a standard up-converted DVD. I think they are trying to sell people who think up-converting DVD players are "good enough" that this is better and closer to Blu-ray. I...
