Not sure what parts you want explained. The top of that post explains the peak hold and average trace charts, and how they're used to determine the scores of the movies. Those graphs' axes are labeled, so it's really self-explanatory.

If you're talking about the graphs of individual scenes of the movies, here's an example taking one of bossobass's images from databass to illustrate the various components:



The recording of the graph starts at the bottom, ends at the top, with 5 second increments listed on the left hand side. The intensity level is pretty self-explanatory - but this is a common point of departure when comparing graphs from different people, so pay particular attention to their intensity color palette. The right signal level should never show something that looks like you can draw a straight line down it, as that would indicate clipping (another important thing to look for when comparing graphs).

The top shows the peak and avg. levels throughout the selected clip, at the frequency indicated (left is lower, right is higher frequency). The frequency also applies to the graph with all the color splotches (this is the part we typically care about) - the graph displays from DC (0hz) to 120hz, though in reality I think his chain only measures 2hz to 120hz. That color-filled portion of the window shows us, over the length of the clip, what frequency (hz) and at what intensity (-dB from the individual user's reference level) the bass content occurs.

In this particular graph, there are no effects that are very intense. It looks like the hottest effects are around -18dB. Generally, graphs from the same person are comparable (assuming they keep their setup the same), so comparing the graphs from different movies in the data-bass.com thread is apples-to-apples.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the explanation

Generally, no, for the audio mixes, the DVD is sufficient. There may be differences in the clarity and detail of surround effects when upgrading to the BR, but almost no changes in LFE content. There are only one or two known cases of the DVD and BR being significantly different audio mixes in the bass frequencies, out of the thousands of movies examined. But, as you know, the picture quality is a significant difference and probably a worthwhile reason to upgrade!

I highly suggest checking out Looper. It's not a kid's movie (very violent), but it's very entertaining and pretty much just as good as WOTW as a bass demo. I don't think it gets nearly as much credit on this thread as it deserves.[/quote]

Thanks!

Wal Mart is selling allot Blu Rays in a no frills, just the movie in a special metal case. (Steelbook) I think they are $12.96 and allot of the titles discussed in here. Not my favorite place to shop, but it is the only place close to me with a good selection of Blu Rays. However a pretty good deal and a pretty cool case. If any one is interested.

Are all those rated in Blu Ray? I see some DVD does that mean the Blu Ray ate not as good?

It does not mean that, typically, just that they were rated based on a specific mix.

The only case, out of that list, where there is a verified difference is the Master & Commander DTS-ES mix from the DVD. It's much, much louder & deeper than the BluRay version's mix. bossobass and others have shown this with animated gifs of SpecLab charts showing the differences between the two, but I can't find those at the moment. The best I can do right now is:



Oh, and JSS did a comparison that can be seen in the images of this post: http://data-bass.ipbhost.com/index.php?/topic/12-the-low-frequency-content-thread-films-games-music-etc/page-22#entry602

All of the rest of the mixes in that list are exactly the same on DVD or BR, afaik. This, of course, means you should prefer the BR for the vastly superior picture quality. smile.gif
