If you turn it up to hear the dialogue, prepare to get blasted by music or sound effects.knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231876226573540476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-79126503095064382552008-12-16T14:54:00.000-08:002008-12-16T14:54:00.000-08:00Thanks, blake.

I trust those people will soon be consigned to the dustbin of history alongside of Ted Turner and his fans of colorization.<BR/><BR/>Darcy: The audio issue is different and, no, it's not just you. When we watch movies on TV we often spend our time ping-ponging the volume. (Down during action scenes, up during dialogue.) I think it's because they mix it as close as they can to simulate movie experience.<BR/><BR/>They don't seem to consider that a lot of us watch movies while the children are asleep in the other room and we have a much lower tolerance for big dynamic shifts.blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430444326700437630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-64114714149133127102008-12-16T07:12:00.000-08:002008-12-16T07:12:00.000-08:00Oh, gosh...I thought it was just me having a hard ...Oh, gosh...I thought it was just me having a hard time hearing dialogue!

Sometimes you can't find the widescreen version.knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231876226573540476noreply@blogger.com
