Just wanted to let everyone know that I’m doing a BD encode of this for my SW marathon before TFA, and intend to be a proper organ donor. I love the colors on this, but will say that for some reason the audio on it didn’t hit my surround sound system well (no clue why, but it just plays a bit tinny). As such, I’ve constructed a stereo track for this as well. The BD I release will have only the stereo track muxed, but I’ll include newguy’s original surround track separately in case you want to remux yourself. (I create my BDs in BDtoAVCHD with Placebo speed and grain preset, but it limits you to a single audio track).
Hmm that’s weird, it sounds the same as all the other versions with the 97 Theatrical DTS track on my system (the dts-track bitstreamed to my reciever). This track is however “softer” then the new one on the bluray, the old one sounds better imo and have better dynamics. The new one is imo only louder and more compressed. I’m guessing that you apply compression when you downmix it if you think that its better that way?
