Every time someone buys a Blu-ray player, an angel gets its wings. And everytime someone bought an HD DVD player, an angel was mauled to death by a centaur. It was a messy war.

DVDBeaver's review. Audio is lossy... "good job", Paramount.

They have been listening to Warner.

Wonder what is up with the audio pops?

steve_dave · 10-31-2009, 06:01 PM

Its lossy 2.0 mono.

What you were really expecting Crterion quality PCM 2.0 mono?

Even Warner presents the original mono tracks for The Wizard of Oz, Casblanca, and Gone With The Wind in lossy DD mono. Hell, Fox even did that with Young Frankenstein's original mono presentation.

Could Paramount have done up a gimmicky 5.1 mix just for lossles? Sure. But then you'd have the same problem as the color version of the film, it just doesn't feel right.

At least according to the review, the BD "fixes" the audio pops from the DVD. Although I also am unsure of what that means.

I don't think it would have made a difference for this dialogue heavy movie that is 63 years old. I wouldn't have expected a lossless HD sound track 5.1 or even 2.0 for this movie.
