I am wondering, is it just me here who cares about the sound quality of a DVD. How come no one ever bothers to mention or discuss the sound quality?

I do care about the sound - but since I don’t have any of these new DVDs I can’t comment on the audio.

And generally about quality…. Indian DVDs have reached a stage where it’s painfully predicable how the DVD is going to turn out;

DEI/BEI DVDs, mostly old movies– usually well authored, noise reduction messes the video and more often than not poorly sourced prints used which spoil colour rendition and general ‘cleanliness’ of the DVD. Framed and presented as amateurishly as even of course :nopity:

Eros/Spark/Video Sound/TTV new movie DVDs – normally anamorphic video idiotically framed at about 2.10:1 to 2.30:1, dull colours, badly authored, poor sharpness and enough print damaged to make these new movies unacceptable. Evidently all these guys are using same people to authors their DVDs. Audio is usually proper 5.1 if they can be bothered. Extras – a joke :bangbang:

WEG DVD; mostly cropped, non-anamorphic, dull colours, badly authored, poor sharpness. Audio pseudo 5.1 nearly always. Biggest waste of energy known to humans (in the Indian DVD world :stupid: ) :doze:

Shemaroo DVDs – still not widely available – mostly pseudo 5.1 audio (mostly mono panned to all channels). Video is colourful, soft and nearly always cropped. Not come across much of their new DVD catalogue though – maybe they have started proper 5.1 :sus:

Ayngaran DVDs – anamorphic video mostly well framed, proper 5.1 audio – colourful video, yet soft and video artefacts infected. Although Ayngaran DVDs don’t even come close to Hollywood counterparts, I personally think this is still the minimal standard Indian DVDs should reach. If Eros/Spark/Video Sound/TTV reached this type of standard it would be more acceptable :wotever:

Yashraj Films DVDs – newer movies usually end up looking better than most – anamorphic and proper 5.1 audio. Old movies; mastering and sourcing sux – especially as they tend to use cut prints for some on their movies :bangbang: - extras are usually decent - sometimes!

… the rest Tips/Venus/Media Digital/Sky/Baba/Apollo etc.. – bunch of criminals who haven’t got a first clue about DVDs :angry:

… and there you have it, the sad state of affairs with Indian DVDs. /rant over :bash:
