In Reply to: Dynamics Compression in DVD 2-Ch Downmix? posted by Jack on May 23, 2006 at 06:21:03:
This is also called the "Night" mode on a few players. Make sure it's OFF or dynamics will get severely squashed. You will also find that many players will downmix the 5.1 soundtrack to 2.0 and leave out the information from the LFE/.1 channel when they do so.Then there's the fact that Dolby Digital is the MP3 of DVD audio codecs. Like MP3, if you need to conserve bandwidth and put a whole lotta stuff in a little space, it's an excellent codec. However, like MP3, quality is not a word you can associate with the results.
