The Complete "The Lord of the Rings: score - with 5.1 DVD (1 Viewer)

[JediFonger]

but one or 3 title alone can't revive an entire format =

 

[PaulP]

What format?

 

[Craig S]

Has anyone heard any news on when the book about the LoTR music is coming out??

 

[JediFonger]

the DVD-Audio format.

 

[PaulP]

I don't care that much about DVD-Audio, but the 5.1 DTS track on the DVD (Video) was a very nice bonus to the three CDs.

 

[Paul.S]

Doug Adams' posts notwithstanding, the good stuff is ostensibly in the Howard Shore interview with Jeff Bond in last month's Film Score Monthly.

Can an FSM subscriber kindly cut and paste the last paragraph in which Adams says Shore mentions a timeframe for a TTT release?

 

[JediFonger]

i'd love to hear the ttt score. i think the regular version was the weakest one out of all 3. i hope the DVD-Audio version improves upon it.

 

[Dan Szwarc]

I'm all over TT release in November 2006. Keep the schedule and I'll spend the cash!

 

[JediFonger]

that's a long time =(. that means ROTK DVD-Audio in 11/07!!! i can't wait for ROTK as it it's my fav out of the trilogy.

 

[Nathan Eddy]

Just got my copy today. No, prices aren't coming down much ($57 with shipping from Amazon).

Okay, here's my problem: when I put the DVD-A disc in, the menu comes up and plays music, but when I select a song, my counter will start but no sound comes out. I've never encountered this problem with my other DVD-As and SACDs. It's the old Pioneer 563A, but I was assured it had the firmware upgrade when I bought it (from a member here). Was I misled? Or is there a problem with this DVDA?

 

[Paul.S]

Unfortunately Nathan, it sounds precisely like the 563A firmware issue impacting Warner DVD-A titles. What's the date of manufacture of the player (on the back) and when did you buy it?

 

[Nathan Eddy]

It was manufactured in July 2003. So how do I go about getting the firmware upgrade? Is it still available?

 

[Paul.S]

Nathan:

I think spring 2004 is the cutoff: players manufactured before that date need the firmware update. Were you told by the previous owner that the player had the firmware upgrade already by virtue of when it was manufactured, or because that owner had it performed? If the former, I think you were misled.

Check out the "Pio DV-563A firmware fix" thread here:

And the "Pioneer DV-563A Review" thread here:

http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...d.php?t=134989

The bottom line, if I recall correctly from when these threads were really "hot," is that you need to either request a CD from Pioneer, take the player to an authorized service center or ship the player to Pioneer. I recall different guys were having differing experiences regarding whether the firmware upgrade could be performed while you wait if they took it to an authorized service center (it can) and whether Pioneer paid for both shipping the player to them and returning it to the owner if he chose that route (you should ask Pio to pay for both).

I'm curious: do you have either the Neil Young Greendale or Seal IV DVD-As?

 

[Paul.S]

Anyone found a lower price on this title?

 

[Dan Szwarc]

I thought others may want to know: The Two Towers is on its way Nov. 7!

[JediFonger]

at thie rate ROTK is 2007 nov/dec=(

 

[PattyFraser]

Followed by the theatrical release of "The Hobbit" in Dec. 2008! ? !

 

[Craig S]

More likely late 2008 will see HD-DVD and/or BluRay releases of the trilogy.

 

[PattyFraser]

That would be fine, if only they'd release the EEs in HD--I haven't watched the theatricals for years.

Back OT, I read that this score wil contain Eowyn's dirge and lament for her cousin Theodred, but Andy Serkis's "rock and pool" fish catching song is not on there. :frowning:

Fantastic news!

With the exception of Ian McKellen and possibly Viggo Mortensen, the vocals on Fellowship were an incongruous addition.
