Ib@nez96 Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 2day I got the "Lord of the Rings" DVD here in the Netherlands. When setting up the sounds I could only choose between: - Frens DD 5.1 - English DD 5.1 Ex Now I'd like 2 watch everything in it's original language (& my French sucks) but when selecting the DD 5.1. Ex version I constantly get a glitch in sound during the movie. Does this mean my amp isn't able 2 play the DD 5.1 Ex version? I have no troubles what so ever with Star Wars and the THX stuff. This is the first time ever I experienced problems with DD. Anybody have any answers? ------------------ HTS: - Reciever Onkyo TX DS595 - DVD Onkyo DV-S535 - Xbox - TV Grundig Xentia 82 Flat - Klipsch Quintet Microsystem - Klisch KSW 10 Sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avman Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 decoding 5.1 dd-ex(where the center rear is matrixed from the l,r surround channels)should NOT be a problem.not sure why you're having a problem. try contacting onkyo, they have had some dts glitches, but this is a new issue. avman. ------------------ 1-pair klf 30's c-7 center (looking for 1-m.o.klf-20) ksps-6 surrounds RSW-15 sony strda-777ES receiver upgraded to v.2.02 including virtual matrix 6.1 sony playstation 2 sony dvpnc 650-v 5-disc dvd/cd/SACD changer dishnetwork model 6000 HD sat rcvr w/digital off-air tuner sony kv36xbr450 high-definition 4:3 tv sharp xv-z1u lcd projector w/84" 4:3 sharp screen Bello'international Italian-made a/v furniture panamax max dbs+5 surge protector/power conditioner monster cable and nxg interconnects/12 gua.speaker wire Natuzzi red leather furniture set KLIPSCH-So Good It Hz!

Seb Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I have read numerour reports on audio dropouts in several receivers with DVDs such as Pearl Harbour in DD EX. The problem was a software one, and replacement discs should have shipped since then, however I don't see why the studios would repeat the same mistake again... It had something to do with the EX "flag" not being read correctly by the receiver, but it was the fault of the encoding, not the hardware. ------------------ http://members.fortunecity.com/sebdavid - go laugh at my crappy website/equipment http://www.dvdprofiler.com/mc.asp?alias=Sebdavid - go laugh at my puny little DVD collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Let's be very ,very careful here. According to what I have read The Lord of Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is not officially released in either region 1 or 2 until August 6, 2002 .You MIGHT have picked up a bootleg version of this disc.If this disc is truely an official release and in combination with audio dropouts on some Onkyo receiver models (the 989 & 898) with some DD 5.1 titles AND these receivers having problems recognizing some EX titles atomatically there may be a fire storm being created if these facts are not confirmed before spreading this info around on the internet. Please use caution and anyone else who presently has this disc and is having problems with it using Onkyo equipment kindly examine the package closely and make positively sure you have the real deal in your DVD player and if that player is operating correctly . Lets step back and be patient and analyize this report with all the facts we can obtain before jumping to conclusions. As I learned long ago . There's a reason for everything. The hard part is finding it. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOZ Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I think BBB is right, I got a few bootlegs a couple of months ago and Lord of the Rings was one of them. The packaging was very good. Gave it back already so I am unable to check it at this time, for the sound. ------------------ NOZ SYSTEM Fronts: Klipsch RF-7's Center: Klipsch RC-7 Rears: Klipsch RS-7's Projector: Infocus LP350 Screen: Draper Premier 96" x 72" TV: Toshiba 37" DVD: Toshiba SD 3107 Receiver: Harman Kardon AVR 7000 CD: Sony CDP CX250 EQ: Harmon Kardon EQ-8 Sub: Velodyne V-1012-B Spare/Back-Up: La Scalas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ib@nez96 Posted July 22, 2002 Author Share Posted July 22, 2002 I rented my "LOTR" from the local store. They have about 10 copies. If this is indeed a bootleg DVD, isn't this supposed 2 be a DVD-R? I know 4 sure that my DVD-player cannot play DVD-R. Can you damage your system by playing bootleg DVD? I checked the "LOTR" menu screenshot with the ones I saw on the Internet, they were different but that could be because I have the Region2 version and the screens are from the Region1. What other DD Ex titles are currently availible, so I can compare/check? ------------------ HTS: - Reciever Onkyo TX DS595 - DVD Onkyo DV-S535 - Xbox - TV Grundig Xentia 82 Flat - Klipsch Quintet Microsystem - Klisch KSW 10 Sub This message has been edited by Ib@nez96 on 07-22-2002 at 05:52 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 There are a few lists by Dolby and THX with EX titles that can be found on their sites. Here are a few BUT check each titles VERSION for it to say: Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX Also some DVDs do not have the type of Dolby Digital 5.1 printed on the case and some receivers that can play THX EX may not automatically detect it as an EX encoded disc. A list of Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX Encoded DVD Releases" 102 Dalmations The Art of War The Astronaut's Wife Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me The Bone Collector Castaway The Caveman's Valentine Chicken Run The Exorcist Fight Club Gladiator Harry Potter The Haunting, Hollow Man Legend of Bagger Vance The Messenger The: The Story of Joan Arc, The Mexican Mission to Mars The Perfect Storm Pitch Black Say It Isn't So See Spot Run Seven, Someone Like You Spy Kids Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Terminator Terminator 2 - The Ultimate DVD Edition Toy Story and Toy Story 2 Unbreakable The World is Not Enough BBB ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBL4645 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Castaway Fight Club Gladiator The Haunting Hollow Man Mission to Mars The Perfect Storm Pitch Black Seven Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Terminator Terminator 2 - The Ultimate DVD Edition The World is Not Enough I have some of these titles on region2 DVD and nearly any decent Dolby digital mix will sound excellent with centre back surround its nothing more than a cinema hype that has died out years ago now. You no longer see the Dolby digital surround-EX logo on end credits unless its some of the back titles from the above list and most of the films didnt state Dolby digital surround-EX on the end credits.
