I’ve now had the chance to sample the Matrix theatrical DTS and compare it to the BR audio. To me the two sound very similar with any perceived difference possibly being due to levels as hairy_hen mentioned.
That being said, there’s something about knowing I’m listening to the original theatrical audio that gives me a warm fuzzy feeling and an outstanding job has been done syncing it to the BR so this will remain my preferred track for watching the movie. Many thanks Jetrell Fo for making this available. 😃
Seeing how the BD & CINEMA tracks are ± identical, and keeping in mind cinema DTS is presumably worse than consumer DTS, which is about half the quality as AC3 at the same bitrate, it is incredibly daft to listen to the cinema track when BD AC3 is available because you’re listening to much reduced quality for no benefit.
Oh, and thanks hairy_hen for explanation/comparison.
Maybe if you had given the thread title any thought, “DTS audio preservation”, you would not have been so dismissive. Now, if some older movies had changes and/or extended versions, the audio would not be identical would it. Anyways, this is a project I started and others were interested in seeing happen. I have taken this thread and project elsewhere anyways so I don’t update it.
If you have no interest in it, that’s cool, no need to come in here and pooh pooh it is there?
Thanks
