    Official HTF HD Review: The Fast and the Furious Trilogy

    Movies like this deserve a TRUE-HD soundtrack ! It's like Warner would have omitted the FANTASTIK TRUE-HD track on their Batman Begins release. Sure Batman Begins is a great movie but without TRUE-HD we are missing the complete experience. Same with The Fast and The Furious

    Which titles are you most excited to hear with a lossless soundtrack?

    Brett, I know that but I am pretty sure we could get MUCH BETTER DD+ or DOLBY TRUE-HD performance with receivers from DENON, YAMAHA and others that will do the decoding by themselfes. Everyone will agree that a 1000 $ receivers will perform better the 5.1 experience than a dvd player that has...

    Superman Returns, Superman & II on HD DVD & BRD on 11-28-06

    What " s wrong with Warner ? NO DOLBY-TRUE HD support with this title ! That "s totally inacceptable ! HD DVD needs the inclusion of DOLBY TRUE-HD on every MAJOR TITLE to survive ! With no TRUE-HD support from the latest titles except Batmin Begins for me it's mean...

    I am with you on this Scott ! If there's not enough space for video put a separate version for a DTS-HD Master version. For the alternative tracks, I LIKE companies like Warner Bros and Universal who are dubbing tracks in french with great quality. I mean we in QUEBEC wants to listen to...

    Thanks Roger for your response ! If I understand the final decision is in the studio"s hands. We hometheater lovers would like our "A" titles be mastered with the hightest quality possible. It just sad that most studios don"t think this way. I mean with a title like KING KONG I will put ...

    PCM5.1 & lossless audio discussion - split thread from A Knight's Tale review

    It just sad not to have THE EXACT technical details about DD+ tracks. When DTS said they use 1500 mbps on their website we have exactly the same bits on our dvds or HD DVDS. I like companies who deliver what they claim on their web site... I mean don"t tell anybody you will use 6 mbps if in...

    I would like to have comments from DOLBY, Warner, Paramount and UNIVERSAL to give us THE EXACT tech details on HD DVD DD+ tracks. Because why DOLBY is claiming a minimum of 3 mbps for bit rate performance on their web site if Warner is using only 504 kbps ? And the fact that a DD+ track win a...

    Troy, Space Cowboys, Lethal Weapon 2, House of Wax HD-DVD 9-12!

    Dan , it"s a shame that UNIVERSAL is only starting to put Dolby TrueHD tracks on their new releases because titles like Chronicles of Riddick, U571, VAN HELSING would have been outstanding if been encoded with this codec.

    PCM5.1 & lossless audio discussion - split thread from A Knight's Tale review

    David you should try Paramount hd-dvds because they all include DTS tracks at 1500 kbps along with the DD+ track. By the comments of people listening to them the DD+ track always sound better practically than the full DTS track even using coaxial input. For those using the analogue input the DD+...

    HTF HD-DVD Review: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

    I can't agree more with you Ed ! First thing : 1) Release all HD DVD at their full bitrate for DD+ between 3 and 6 mbps (I heard that Warner releases were below 1.5 mbps ... grrr ) (Universal is suppose to release them at 1.5 mbps ... grrr ) 2) Adjust le .1 LFE level of the DD+...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: "Blade 2" (Highly Recommended) (with screenshots)

    As I am reading this post seems BLADE II to be one of the most dynamic soundtrack. :D I just love LOUD sound. I said loud but not overpowered In the case of BLADE II it suits perfectly with all the action coming out. But the real revelation for me is when I switched on the fly the 2.0...
