In Reply to: Gosford Park and bad sound posted by clarkjohnsen on September 4, 2004 at 07:06:14:
I have the DVD of Gosford Park and have had to use the close captioning in order to follow it. The mix, the accents, and Altman's overlapping dialog all contribute to an unlistenable experience.I have posted last year that SONY's SDDS sound, especially the eight track version, is superior to its competitors but I hardly think that DTS "sucks", either in theaters or on DVD. I always pick the DTS sound track on DVD over Dolby if it is available and my processor superimposes a matrix 6.1 mix from 5.1 material. I also use the DTS Neo 6 matrix to derive a six channel mix on stereo music (lps, LDs, tapes). I never liked "fake" multi-channel until I heard the DTS Neo 6 codec.
I do wish SONY had marketed a home version of their theater SDDS sound.
