Mike Oldfied Discovery in Jan 2016

I like this, not bad at all.

Hmmm....
The audio should be dts 2496 (and DD)

but the DVD is only 2,96 gb
I'm using DVDfab and Bigasoft Audio Converter 5 to back it up as 5.1 flac.
Bigasoft tells the sound is only 4816 (and DD) ???????


Have any of you 'the 1984 suite' in dts 2496????

When I load it into Audiomuxer it shows DTS 24/96 as one of the three audio tracks.

Thanks!

So sometimes my Bigasoft shows 9624 and sometimes it only shows 4816 even if it is 9624.... worthless

On my 2nd listen of the "1984 Suite", and I completely agree with a lot of the statements above about this DVD.
The first two tracks ("To France" and "The Lake") are both incredible from all perspectives. Awesome music mixed very well in surround sound with great fidelity!
"The Killing Fields" has a terrible amount of distortion on it, but at least the fidelity improves again on "Etude", a nice enough piece but not something that is as satisfying as the first two tracks.
"The Royal Mile" is also a good little instrumental before we get to the truly awful "Zombies". Oh what I would have given to just have a great 5.1 mix of "Poison Arrows" instead of this disaster.
Thankfully the disc ends pretty well with "Discovery".

This is most likely a '7', breaking things down this way:

Content: 2/3
Surround Mix: 3/3
Fidelity: 2/3
High-Res Disc: 0/1

But I was glad to get it for such a great price!
