THS or Dolby Digital DVD's or Blu Rays at all??

[bcharlsen]

i have a dvd that has a bunch of old THX and Dolby Digital intros on it.....i didn't know if there was anything like this out their. if so some help would be great... and maybe a place i can buy a calibration disc for my tv too.....

I'm partial to AVIA . It's a pretty easy to use calibration disc. I believe Amazon has it. Or do a search on where to buy Avia and you'll get plenty of links.

AVIA is my go-to calibration DVD. But if you want a HD disc, you'll have to go with Digital Video Essentials on blu-ray.

Some movies have THX trailers at the beginning; haven't seen a DD intro on any movie DVDs recently. Some DTS movies have DTS intros.

There is some kind of THX demo disc out there. I ordered one off ebay a couple years ago, and while it is pretty awesome (has all of the THX intros to date, as well as the "THX Wow" demo. The problem was, it was something someone burned and created on their own.

Yup, DTS has had three Blu-rays now, I know Dolby has at least one (kind of sucked though). I think the last THX disc I received was a BR as well.

They're out there, but you generally need to go to Cedia or CES to get them right now.

Actually, the mouse has put one out that looks pretty decent, Disney WOW: World of Wonder. It was available in their movie rewards briefly, but sold out. I will get it eventually, and report back what I think. The thread on it at AVS is a little short on feedback from more advanced HT enthusiasts.

There is also the Spears & Munsil HD benchmark disc.

The best DTS demo experience I've had to date is the beginning of the DTS version of Eagles "Hell freezes over". It almost destroys my speakers !!! :-)

I'm a sucker for these kinds of discs, and continue to collect them every chance I get.

Oh, FWIW, I also bought this disc. For anyone looking for it, it's on sale at Amazon for $29 for the BD. http://www.amazon.com/Disney-WOW-Wor...6034076&sr=8-1 I haven't watched it yet.

Can you give us your opinion and review on this disc set?. In addition to optimization stuff, does it have THX and other surround demos?.

I am also very curious about that Disney disc.

[Chris D]

Okay. Will watch and let you know how it is.
