IMO, the best movies that were both intelligent and action packed were released between 1977 - 1988. Having watch Top Gun (Special Edition) yesterday confirm's this.
At least back then, the "equipment" was real (could see feel and touch the models) and it wasn't generated in some Pentium chip.
Anyway, to the point.
Top Gun and The Hunt for Red October, we're both, as many of the films then, was released in Dolby Stereo (Originally). The DVD is encoded in Dolby Digital 6.1.
How is this so ie. How can there be an audio track that was never there to begin with ?
I watched the DVD on a STEREO set up. It sounded great.
The other question I have is that for those of you with hi end 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 gear, watching a film that was DOlby Stereo - do you notice a difference ? Is it in fact better ?
