T he Mayans, one of the most fascinating civilizations that Earth has brought, we have sent a prophecy: their calendar ends in 2012, and our world too. Since then, astrologers have confirmed, numerologists have predicted, geophysicists find it dangerously plausible, and even government scientists eventually come to this terrifying conclusion. The Mayan prophecy has been reviewed, discussed, analyzed carefully. In 2012 we will all know whether it is true, but some have been warned for a long time ... When the tectonic plates begin to slip, causing earthquakes and destroying many of Los Angeles by the way, Curtis Jackson, novelist, and his family throw headlong, like millions of individuals, in a desperate journey. All can not be saved ...
If it becomes ridiculous, starched, long and not very impressive (the fault lies with the trailer, which reveals absolutely all sequences of destruction ...), Roland Emmerich's film did not fail to totally excited at the first chroniclers of its Blu-Ray edition. The publisher, Sony, indeed offers the film in 1080p Full HD, formatted 2.35 Scope respected, not to mention the presence of a track DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 that some have hailed as one of the most successful ever heard of the history of the medium. Exit, therefore, the Dolby True HD "tablet" but "unzipped" that has rocked the Sony Blu-Ray editions for years. least for some, the publisher has chosen, we have noted, the audio codec for DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, routinely offered in 24 bits. According to our fellow Canadians dvdbeaver.com , track DTS-HD Master Audio reached the measured average throughput of 4167 Kbps (48 Khz, 24 Bit).
One caveat, however, that few of our colleagues have dared (or thought?) Mentioned: in their French versions, the Blu-Ray editions of the publisher's titles include still more recently, a soundtrack in DTS -HD Master Audio 5.1 French. In almost routine, this latest version, dubbed, is revealed dramatically higher acoustic field at the same soundtrack, but proposed in the original ... which arrange many spectators, but will disappoint many others too, we first , due to the commoditization of a restatement by the bottom of the track VO, which proposes, every time, perfect sound disappointing, diminished, impoverished, down ... The substance is in no sound the same, the French version engulfing all the technical qualities inherent in the original mix, but we needed an atrocious dubbing, and therefore a center channel reworked. A very old debate, of course, but that is becoming a petty striving on the part of the editor, which optimizes the rendering of the dubbed version, but neglected, or rather viciously alters global acoustic rendering of the original mix if released in the original ... Where other publishers realize the other hand, Sony provides a certain type of viewer in the direction of hair growth. Without blame them, nor to anyone, we denounce this insidious practice, which ultimately proves unworthy of compromise has made brilliant editor since his arrival on the domestic market of HD ...
In other words, better to control the editing area A, and for many reasons: the argument tariff, on the one hand (largely cheaper if ordered online in North America, as you suggest with our partners Cinebox.net ), but also, therefore, technical, since the editing area A (still readable in Zone B in this editor), mixing original English does not suffer from these infamous diminutions.
