The New Master List of BASS in Movies with Frequency Charts - Page 88

I want to take a look at the process of creating a demo disc. I am very curious about it. I would love to create a demo for myself that is not limited by optical media (i.e. runs from HDD versus bluray disc). It would be awesome to have ALL of the LFE scenes I enjoy in one place and not have to worry about a 25 or 50 gig limit.

May be old news to some but here is a fairly new BD LFE demo disk, sized and formatted to fit on a DL DVD. Small effort but may be worth a dL, especially for free.

This place is opening in two weeks and is gonna be sweet! (See sub stack in lower portion of screen's frame + corner loaded surround sub encl.!)

Needs more cowbell.

Congress just passed a new law that makes it so tv commercials and maybe movie previews are no longer allowed to make the volume dramatically louder anymore.

True, but it will take close to a year to implement it.

Gotcha, I see the (lack of) difference now. It was from the DVD, which IMO had much hotter LFE than the BluRay (I own both).

Yup, and some are available with lossless audio. I only have a DVD burner, so I have to use AVCHD format, which only allows lossy Dolby Digital 5.1, and it is still pretty impressive.

JSS

I find it hard to tell the difference between Dolby digital and Dolby true HD but I definitely do use the lossless audio tracks whenever they are available.

The lossless allows for greater than 5.1 channels that several of the trailers use.

JSS

Are you talking about 7.1 stuff?

I would love to see some graphs for many scenes in Hellboy 2 which I just watched, but the 2 I am most curious about, both of which nearly tore the house off its foundation are the "Elemental" scene and the scene where the huge rock giant emerges to let them into the Golden Army chamber. Both of these would also be prime candidates for the demo disc!

Oh in case its not obvious, Hellboy 2 is an EASY 5 star IMO.

Yup. Almost all of the Dolby and DTS trailers on the site have 7.1 available (lossless versions).

JSS

There really isn't a lot of 7.1 soundtracks available. Until recently there was next to nothing. Before 2010 I can only think of 2...3:10 to Yuma and master and commander.

I can't recall titles, but I bet I've watched 6-8 of 7.1 movies in the last year. Only one did I notice a real advantage and I can't remember that either. maybe KFP2 ?

In the last year there was tons...tron, dark of the moon, captain America...to name
A few. Even with only 5 speakers I still notice a difference with movies with 7.1 sound tracks sounding better.

M&C has never been 7.1 but there were at least a several dozen upmixed/remixed titles in 7.1 on BD long before 2010.

According to Blu-raystats.com

2007
13 releases in 7.1

2008
45 releases in 7.1

2009
76 releases in 7.1

2010
65 releases in 7.1

2011
87 releases in 7.1

That's 287 movies in 7.1 from the beginning to Dec 31st 2011. Not bad.

You are right I just checked it...someone told me it was

How many of those titles are any good tho? Pre-2010

All you need is a Boxee + Hard Drive

Then you have something like this on your screen...

Is that a porno I see between Rambo and Tron :-p

LOL @ raistline!
Flageborg, I own a Dune so I know what you mean. I am interested in having one very large "disc" (i.e. collection) of the scenes I like to use for demo purposes. None of the other demo discs contain all the scenes I enjoy. And there are some scenes that are included that I would've left out. The other discs are great, don't get me wrong, but there always seems to be a few great scenes left out. I want it all. In one place.
The only way to accomplish that is to do it myself.

I don't understand how it is possible to jump in to a conclusion like that....

But anyway - this is the movie

.

Or an htpc!

Three musketeers (2011) has great bass throughout. Anyone have any scans on that? Could be 4 to 5 star material imo.

I completely agree!!! Especially when the ship crashes!!!

I plan on watching that over the next couple of days.
But I really think we need to establish a true grading scale for LFE. People are tossing around the 5 star rating waaaay too easily these days IMO. We all know that LFE performance is relative, but there should be a base reference point that we all agree on.

other than lfe was the film any good?

It's alright and entertaining to watch once. It's one of those movies that gives red box it's purpose.
