In Reply to: I always prefer the sound of LD over DVD posted by Michael on January 2, 2001 at 12:36:40:
I find the software varies as much for video & audio in LD & DVD as it does for audio only vinyl or CD. Generally DVD gives us a better picture but that is frequently due to component video output from DVD vs S video for LD.As for the sound, software aside, the processor can make a dramatic difference. Sadly however, it does not matter how good the processor is if the initial audio engineering is not up to scratch and this is often the case, particularly with digitally encoded LDs done in the early 1990s.
We looked at "The Matrix" on DVD last night. Apart from awesome graphics the DD sound on this is absolutely stunning. Pity about the confused mumbo jumbo "plot" though! But why spoil good imaging and sound with a reasonable story?
