HD DVD sound compressed!

[XSilentCobraX]

When i first bought my PS3, i bought some Blu movies, then i thought" why not try HD-DVD?" so i went out and bought a HD-DVD drive for my xbox 360, and got The Fast And The Furious Tokyo Drift. and i sat down and i watched the movie, in the very beginning of the movie Josh Lucas the main guy, starts hes car, and it sound so very awesome on DVD at volome 20-db, but on HD-DVD u can barly hear it at the same volome played on normal 5.1 Dolby, later in the movie the guy he is about to race throwes a bassball through the rear window of the car, on DVD it makes a very good sound, on HD-DVD u cant hear it! no effect what so ever. so i took the HD-DVD drive back and returned the movie.. i asked in alot of stores, how come this is? one guy said its because the HD-DVD problem with the space, they cant fit in HD picture and HD sound, and have normal 5.1 sound in and all be at a maximum. so abviously HD-DVD is [crap] in my opinion!

The HD-DVD addon had a problem with the DD decoder being stuck in night mode. This cut down the dynamic range considerably.

Apparently you have no idea how to set it up. Plus the volume level has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the sound. I have many BD PCM/TrueHD tracks that sound just as good as HD DVD TrueHD tracks. ANd if you were using the 360 Add on the 360 converts all audio to DTS or DD(depending on what you select in your settings). While a stand alone player HD DVD/BD will convert the TrueHD audio to PCM over HDMI.

You come on a little strong to alot of people. I have been noticing this lately. Even to me you have been a bit rude. There is no need to be.

I think this was one of the fixes with the update.
