Like that ar? You using Denon?

My Yammy got everything almost right. Speaker size never wrong. Even distance up to around 10 cm accuracy. But of course, still need to adjust a few things la...

About the crossover cut off, the lower the better is it? Weird, the lower I put, the worse it sound to me.

My speakers low frequency is 50 Hz. Well, never mind, was just curious. I like how it sounds already with my current setup.

Nope, only one setting for all channel. Kinda sucks there. This is one of the comments I read about V1800, the other is EQ.

Not sure about 3800. Could be the same.

That's about US$13.50 per title. Nice.

Yeah, Crank is one of the best PQ I've ever seen. Really bright, popping vivid colors and sharp. But I'm thinking of selling it because too violent and many 18SX scenes.

But remember, digitally shot, that's as good as it can get. With film stock, it can be scanned at 4k resolution, that's twice the HD resolution. The only question is how well-preserved the film is, and how well the transfer was done.

It's digitally scanned to 4k resolution, about 2160p. Don't remember exact numbers. Then it will downconverted to 1080p for blu-ray.

It's explained on the DVD HD Basics calibration disc. Or can ask uncle Google.

Correct!

For Star Wars, when they transfer to DVD, they even first clean the film stock using chemicals before digitally scanned. Then cleaned up again digitally. I'm sure they'll do a new transfer for blu-ray. They already did a poll on hi-def formats earlier this year, it's kind of possible we'll be seeing Star Wars on blu-ray soon, maybe next year.

The resolution of film is much higher than the current HD cameras.

I doubt it will hilang la... The so called master is also not the real stock from the camera reel, that will be duplicated first (after lab processing) to be edited and combined. So there culd be many backup masters in the steel safe somewhere.

That will be the first title with 7.1 channel for Dolby TrueHD I think. Anyone seen before?

Some local indie movies shoots using digtial cameras, but not sure about the resolution. Don't know lah bro. Local movies, even on DVDs look worse than VCDs.

You mean DLP? Malaysia got no digital cinemas yet, Thailand and Singapore already have. Digital projection uses a harddrive as the source. What format and resolution I don't know.

Read more here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_cinema

THX in cinemas is just a standard, just like ISO9002, etc.

THX was founded by George Lucas to make sure cinemas are designed and equipped properly. The seating, speaker placement, screen, etc must comply to their specifications so that each person in the audience can have true movie experience. THX staff will visit the cinema, do a thorough inspection. Only after they're satisfied then it will get the THX certification.

Hall 1 in TGV KLCC was certified by THX when it was opened, but was not renewed due to poor maintenance by TGV. There are no THX halls in KLCC anymore.

There is a THX sound format, just like DTS/Dolby/Sony Dynamic Digital Sound, but rarely used by Hollywood. The only one I know that uses it was the Star Wars prequels.

And, sound in cinemas is just 5.1 guys. Those 6.1 or 7.1 you have on BDs are mastered from a new mix. Except for SDDS, which have 5 channels on the front alone.

This come from my own memory, so please correct me if I'm wrong guys.


Congrats!

It is relevant Fentanyl. It will affect our BD budget.

Those using diesel can just switch to petrol now. Only add 12 sen more.

They've been holding back too long already. Imagine if they do this before election.

Yeah, that beats everyone here. Now I know how peasant I am.

Agreed. I work in the oil industry, but don't want to elaborate more on this, long story. However, just heard the news that those with car lower than 2000cc will get more than RM600 cash when you renew the road tax?

The government. With every increase, it will apply to Petronas too, the government will actually earn more.

OK lah, no more talk about this, or it will turn into political debate.

So, let's discuss BD, though we maybe little bit poorer. Our BD collection will slow down for sure.

We can discuss about our dream to own blu-ray boxsets. Just dream.

PS: Did anyone know that any reservoir found in Malaysia automatically owned by Petronas? If Shell found one, they have to make a deal with Petronas, that's how companies like CS Mutiara (Carigali-Shell join-venture) was formed.

Have to pass. With the current development, only certain titles that I really wants, will be considered, no matter how cheap it is.

Everything will sure increase. I mean EVERYTHING. Everything uses transport.

Diesel also increased 40%, that's worst than petrol considering the new price difference. Your roti canai could be priced RM1.50 now.

Our BD budget will hurt more then you think.

Just placed my order for Sweeney Todd at Amazon UK. Can't help it. Tim Burton is one of my favorite director, and I'm a fan of Johnny Depp. Didn't have the chance to watch in cinemas.

DVDTalk is has included this into their "DVD Talk Collector Series" group, their highest rating, which only a few titles gets that (only 13 titles total now).

£21.56 or about RM140 using standard airmail. I know, too expensive, only 1 title.

But from UK usually only takes one week to arrive.
