RE: I've been wanting to post about 7.1

Posted by cfraser on March 13, 2009 at 10:24:11:
There are "some". I have 4 in my meagre BD collection so far.

I think most people would use Dolby PLIIx for the backs with a 5.1 track...it works pretty well for movies with active surround channels.

Dolby PLIIz is 9.1 and will likely start appearing in AVRs soon. The speaker positioning charts for 11.1 are out there, so somebody's planning ahead...

Reports are generally that Transporter 3 BD is close to "reference" in PQ and sound. The Transporter (1) BD is awful quality, but the movie not bad IMO. Transporter 2 BD is OK, but the movie isn't that great.
