I just got a pre release copy of transformers , "Holy Cow"!!!

[louthewiz]

I think this will be the hottest demo dvd of this year , the colors and sound is jaw dropping , so guys get your money and run and get your copies when they are released...:eek:

[danger boy]

from the minute i finished watching it at the theater.. yes I still go to the movie house.. i knew i'd be buying it on DVD later. I can't wait.

I think easily the best movie in the last two or three years.. but for sheer fun factor of course ;)

[Sherardp]

got mine on order in HD DVD, should be insane.

[mutelight]

Also looking forward to the HD DVD release on the 16th. :cool:

Oh and I also got a "pre release copy" of the movie. :p

[Ricardo]

In the std definition there's a "normal" release and a double disc special edition; anyone knows if there's any advantage on the double, like DTS???

[mantis]

Have in on the list to pick up. I also saw it in the movies.

Considering the movie is like 2 hours 25 minutes long, I don't think you'd want DTS on a regular DVD-9 release. The video bitrate would suffer.

I watched the DVD a few weeks ago, and the Dolby Digital track is outstanding. I was running it in 7.1 with PLIIx-Movie, and I honestly think it sounded better than when I saw it in the theater.

[mutelight]

The AC3 track is indeed very impressive.

[Ricardo]

AC3?? I am definitely behind in all these digital terms.

[PolkThug]

I'm going to remix mine and take out all the human parts, so it just giant fighting robot scenes.

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

AC3 = Dolby Digital

[Ricardo]

AC3 = Dolby Digital

Thanks.

Why not just call it DD then?:rolleyes:

[Face]

It's been a while since I've ripped a DVD, but I believe that's what it's called during the ripping procedure.

[wingnut4772]

I loved this movie. I bet it's an awesome HT demo. I wish mine was up and running. Enjoy!:)

Although I love Megan Fox, this is how the movie should have been!

I am going to edit mine, and leave only the Megan Fox scenes. When I was a kid the robots ruled. As a man.....:D

[zombie boy 2000]

This is still in the theaters. Gotta be the quickest DVD release ever.

[Silverti]

After I saw it I couldn’t wait to watch it on BR as was announced... but then... Damn Paramount.

BLARG!

I seriously don’t want to buy a HD-DVD player…. Combo drive… sure… but I don’t think they will be cheap enough in time 

[PolkThug]

The ad I saw had it being released in both hi-def formats on Oct. 16

It's only on HD-DVD, this title is not getting a Blu-ray release.

Thank God for that. I so cannot wait for this HD-DVD. One of the best popcorn movies...ever!

[bruss]

this will be the first movie I watch on my new system in my new house..

[Shizelbs]

I missed it in the theaters. I am eagerly awaiting it for the HT. If it is demo worthy like you are saying I might just buy it.

Contradicting yourself! Did you hear the DD track or did you have it in PLIIx-Movie? PLII is for analog audio. If you feed in a DD track and have your receiver in PLII, you're not getting DD. Redo it in DD and really hear it.

[MGPK]

If the soundtrack is recorded in 5.1 and the playback system is configured for 7.1, then the receiver automatically engages DPLIIx for the surround back channels.

[mutelight]

Thanks.

Why not just call it DD then?:rolleyes:

Because AC3 is the faster and easier term for referring to Dolby Digital files. AC3 is the extension when you encode in that format. ;)

Sorry I wasn't clear, though I certainly didn't contradict myself. It was the 5.1 track, using PLIIx-Movie mode to create 7.1. DPLIIx is not just for 2-channel audio (though DPL-II is for stereo sources to 5.1 only). See http://www.dolby.com/consumer/technology/prologic_IIx.html

To create 7.1 from 5.1 sources, my Onkyo 705 lets me use DPL-IIx Movie, DPL-IIx Music, DTS Neo:6, THX Cinema, THX w/DPL-IIx, THX w/DTS Neo:6, THX Select 2, THX Game Mode, THX Music Mode, etc. DPL-IIx Movie is recommended by Dolby for 7.1 from DD-EX 6.1 tracks, and has been my favorite mode for 5.1 to 7.1 conversion. The only exception is when I'm playing my Xbox 360, for which I use THX Game Mode.

Transformers' 5.1 track in 7.1 using DPL-IIx Movie was absolutely mind-blowing, with some great across-channel pans and some INSANE bass. I'm running a SVS 20-39CS+ sub and a Buttkicker under my couch, paired up with Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center and RTi28 surrounds... and this movie is definitely an all-channels-in-use audio assault.

[Deadof_knight]

Total blind buy ! it was awesome

[louthewiz]

Well guys I just saw the movie again and I can honestly say that my room was shaking violently and my subwoofers were booming just as loud and deep as war of the worlds in DTS.

[Sherardp]

Take a 12% off coupon into best buy and get yourself an A2 Toshiba HD DVD player and be format neutral. With a 133 inch screen how can you not be neutral bro? Whats up with that? You can get the coupon off BB website. Come on you can do it. Also check out valueelectronics.com, call Robert and mention youre a member of AVS and he'll give you a killer deal on the A2. I bought my XA2 from him for a good deal, of course shipping to Japan is always a bummer but I still got it. Then youre all set for Transformer and Matrix on HD DVD.

[Toxis]

totally didn't even pay attention to the x. Was brain farting it. Wow, I'm going to get back on my short bus. Sorry. lol

[BaggedLancer]

I'm getting so excited for the HD DVD version. I can't wait, easily one of my favorite movies of the year but Pan's Labrynth is still #1.

[Home Theatre]

I might have to throw a party for this one.

[AndyGwis]

So, if I preorder the HD-DVD today, will it show up next Tuesday. . .or Wednesday. . . or later? I guess I could hit up CC and get it for $29.99 or so. The extra $2 might be worth it to be 100% sure I'm watching next Tuesday.

[louthewiz]

[louthewiz]

I live in Brooklyn and my friend has a video store and he gets them 2 weeks early at times and he calls me and sells me or lends me pre-releases.:D
