Fringe is only DD? - Blu-ray Forum

CRMA · 10-11-2009, 02:55 AM

I got it today from BB and plugged it in and was shocked to see DD only. Is that right, no HD??? Bummer!!

Yeah, WB seems to only do DD on their TV show releases. Smallville is DD only as well. Kinda lame.

DetroitSportsFan · 10-11-2009, 03:01 AM

Yeah, DD only. Good 'ol WB.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is DD?

Dolby Digital. Non-HD audio.

Ah right, thanks.

That does suck.

I got it but I still think the sound is good for DD.

Well Dolby Digital is the original sound as heard on the HD broadcast, so I guess WB don't think it needs to be upgraded the TrueHD. I for one really don't mind or care. All sounds the same to me.

Yeah, who cares about having something really awesome when you can have something decent?

The fact that it has only DD doesn't ruin the show whatsoever. I am aware of the problems you had with the sound, but it sounds fine and it still has great PQ and the show itself is a great first season. It's still worth the price whether it has HD audio or not. It's time to get over it and just enjoy what's there.

it seems the EU UK disc is also only in 5.1 dolby Digital.... actually its idendical to the US discs...

so this means the French discs is completely different dics made for the French market...

I agree!

That is going to sound bad, and be hard to understand, regardless of codec. Lossless/PCM doesn't undo the effects of mumbling.
