louco73 Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 I've come across a distortion problem when playing the War of the Worlds scene from the demo disc. After the alien craft has erected itself it makes a loud bellowing sound as stuff is expelled from the bottom of the craft. This is right after Tom Cruise comes out from behind the building to have another look, while being told by his friends to stay and not go out. I've changed the centre speaker, the amp, played from my computer and DVD palyer, as well as downmixing from the DVD player direct to my DAC to LR only (to remove the AVR). My conclusion, it's in the source. Soooo, is this just with the copy of the demo disc that I got, in all copies of the demo disc, or is it actually in the movie itself?
desray Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Not that I'm aware of...anyway this scene has been ripped in its entirety w/o any post-mixing etc. :) It has to be from the source. How loud did you actually go bro?
louco73 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Posted February 21, 2007 That's the thing, not that loud at all. What I would call normal listening level. I'll play it again tonight and measure with my sound pressure meter.
desray Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I will play it later and 'hear' for myself then. :)
stealth Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I've the original version of War Of The World. Its comfirmed from the distortion is from the original software. It could be due to their audio high level mixing. If you have the original, try playing another scenes like when Tom Cruise is argueing with his son near the river stream when the army trucks passes them, the dialoge also distorted. :( :(
louco73 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Posted February 21, 2007 Thanks Stealth! I think that is really a shame that they would release a DVD with that level of distortion in it. :(
desray Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Yeap...tried it last night and there's some distortion. I thought that was intended by the Studio. :)
louco73 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Posted February 22, 2007 Yeap...tried it last night and there's some distortion. I thought that was intended by the Studio. :) Intended? Why would a studio butcher a sound track to do that to a poor speaker?
deepakvali Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Intended? Why would a studio butcher a sound track to do that to a poor speaker? because they did not want to spend money on THX certification ;D ;D ;D
Quest88 Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 louco, glad you had found the 'solution' to this problem. ;D
MC_Hammer Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 My bass shaker was shaking so violently so didn't bother much about the distortion 8)
