Dynamic Compression Range and 24 FPS Doubts!!! - Blu-ray Forum

NRIQ · 02-21-2009, 07:14 PM

I own a Samsung BD-P1400 and there are two options on the set up menu that I, personally, don´t understand what kind of advantages does it bring to my movie watching experience...

One is the Dynamic Compression... Must it be turned ON or OFF? And why? What does it do?

And what about the 24 FPS option? Must it be turned ON or OFF? And why?

I have a Samsung LCD 32" full hd monitor and is connected through HDMI to my blu ray player... so... Can someone help me please???

Thanxsz

DC is only used on DD and DD TrueHD track that are DECODE inside the player and outputted in PCM to you're receiver. If you are Bitstreaming it does nothing.

24fps should be ON only if you're display support it. look into you're owner manual.

Doesn't Dynamic Range Compression screw up the sound? Your meant to only use it if you are watching a move late at night and don't want to wake the neighbours.

Turn dynamic compression off! The word "compression" is most hated. Turn 24p on if your TV supports it. What model of Sammy do you have?

What's with the hate for DC?

Personally I like it when I'm not leaning in, close, to hear a whisper, and suddenly an explosion goes off that shakes my entire city block. Some may think it's fun, or keep the volume so low that they miss the dialogue (after all it's boring and what fun is that) when they just want to have their sofa dancing around the room from the explosions, car chases, and great THUDS that movie sound editors think are "fun" to spring on the audience. When my wife is sitting two rooms away, and tells me to turn it down, when I can just make out the dialogue, then I call that "messed up".

It makes everything sounds as loud as the next scene?

That's the purpose of sound design and mixing: to draw you in and get you more involved. Just imagine horror flicks without the sudden jump cuts. It's the same issue. Another example: In real life your voice does not have the same dynamic range as a canon being fired.

Good directors, mixers and designers do not sacrifice dialog intelligibility for action. There are a few movies that have that but they are rare.

Well then that's just your "setup", which justifies your love for DRC.

Isn't there no benefit of having 24fps output unless you have a 120hz TV?

I thought I read that somewhere.

So even if your traditional 60hz LCD can accept 24fps source, there is no benefit or difference, because you can't do 60/24 evenly?

I could be wrong, but mathematically it seems to make sense.

If you're bitstreaming you also have to disable DRC on the AVR/pre-pro.
