How about "Brainstorm" and "Strange Days"? Both deal with a form of technology that records peoples' experiences directly from the brain. -Christian

I've posted this before, but it's still relevant: http://www.surroundpro.com/2002/apr...s_5point1.shtml Tom Holman talks about how the listening experience doesn't scale down, psychoacoutically, even when levels are matched. Interesting stuff. -Christian

Wayne, I had posted this link in another thread, but feel that it is relevant here: http://www.surroundpro.com/2002/apr...s_5point1.shtml Tom Holman talks about how sound reproduction doesn't scale down psychoacoustically;if something is mixed for a larger environment, it won't tranlate...

The Optimizer concept is borrowed from the pro world, where every tape/disc has its own set of bars and tone, recorded at he same levels and settings as the project itself. Ideally, you're supposed to be able to calibrate a system to each program's own test patterns, to optimize the system for...

Kirk, Check out this link from www.surroundpro.com: http://www.surroundpro.com/2002/apri..._5point1.shtml Tom Holman writes about how surround sound playback doesn't really "scale" itself to the home environment at reference levels. -Christian

Actually, due to the absence of phosphor technology, they are impossible to burn. The only thing that turning up the birghtness and contrast will do is give you an overblown picture, but it won’t hurt the device (maybe your eyes). :) -Christian

I third “Strange Days”; Also, consider “The Way of the Gun”, which has some of the more realsitc sounding gunfire effects I’ve heard in a while. -Christian

AFAIK, most, is not all, digital tracks used in film post (i.e. Pro Tools sessions et al) are 48k/24bit. While greater bit depth would be interesting, I don’t know what benefit 96k would bring to existing soundtracks. -Christian

Check out the scenes in "Traffic" (American version) featuring the musical score. It's subtle, ambient, and enveloping with good bass extension. -Christian

Actually, DLP cinema light engines are three-chip designs , and thus do not have color wheels or any associated color wheel artifacts, like the rainbow effect. Also, they are typically driven by Xenon-arc lamps, which are far more powerful than anything you'd find in the home market (actually...

Jason, Are you sure you're listening to the 5.1 soundtrack? If memory serves, earlier releases from both Fox and Columbia automatically defaulted to the 2.0, making the 5.1 track a menu selection. That might account for these two bass-heavy movies sounding thin. -Christian

El bumperino.

If you have an LD player, I would recommend the THX AC-3 remastered edition. Great pic/sound for the theatrical version. -Christian “Someday you and I are going to have a serious disagreement.”

Subject says it all. I’m tired of duking it out on Ebay, and would rather give my money to a fellow forum member. Either reply to me here or e-mail me privately. Thanks, Christian

I'm looking for the access codes for the Sony KV27TS35. I've been to Keohi's site, but those codes only apply to the newer Sonys. Any info would be helpful. Thanks, Christian

This is interesting, considering how much time we spend on aspect ratios. From DaveF’s figures (210 degrees horizontal by 150 degrees vertical), the visual field of the human eye has an inherent “ratio” of 1.4:1, just shy of the thinnest widescreen ration that I know of, 1.66:1. -Christian

I have a half-baked idea here. If the studios speak only in numbers, then we should reply in kind. Perhaps someone out there who is far more tehcnically inclined than I could put together a web page. This page could list movies that are being released in P&S only. Next to each movie, there...

John, Does the unit have an AC-3 RF input? Or does it only accept bitstream? -Christian

Title says it all. I'm tired of duking it out on Ebay, and would rather give my bucks to a fellow forum member. Thanks, Christian

Jeff, As far as I know, the trailing you see is an unavoidable effect of CRT technology. The phosphors can’t fade fast enough for abrubt picture level changes, so it looks like a trail if the bright spot is moving against black As for the fogging, it still sounds as though your contrast mat...

Try “Living in Oblivion”. It’s the “Clerks” of filmmaking, in that it addresses the frustrations of low-budget production. -Christian
