Author Topic: EPISODE II: what sound format did you use ? PCM 6ch, Dolby EX, DTS ES ? John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-22-2002 10:09 AM                        If Bobby Henderson's 7.7GB estimate for uncompressed 24-bit audio is accurate, that's still almost 10% of the data load, and hardly negligible. ------------------ John P.

It's also hard to believe there isn't some lossless compression going on, since it seems implausible that there's a lot of information in all 6 channels simultaneously all the time. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Keith Davidson Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Vallejo, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-22-2002 11:46 PM                     Lossless compression????  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-22-2002 11:48 PM                     Yes, "lossless compression" -- that's like when you have "00000000000000000000" that gets replaced with an encoding that means "20 zeroes." --jhawk  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-23-2002 07:40 AM                        jhawk said: "I dunno; to me, an 80gb drive versus a 90gb drive doesn't seem like a big issue." The issue isn't so much one of storage, but of delivery. Today, it still means a few extra DVDs or longer download time. ------------------ John P.
