@HiphopDestroyer666 That and Star Wars. After the new episodes came out I stopped caring about something I loved. I was that dissapointed. But I agree, he WAS great. Sadly it seems he has lost his vision.

@goldoderblut In my opinion, DTS HD Master Audio has better quality and bitrate than any Dolby Digital, even TrueHD... I'm the only in my town (at least with my friends) who understands audio stuff, the others only cares about video quality... I need some pal to talk about sound formats... ñ_ñ Thanks 4 your answer! =)

1. Yes THX is NOT a sound format. 2. There is no "Dolby Surround" in cinema - neither in analog nor digital - what you mean is "Dolby Stereo" - analog Dolby Stereo is 4.1 channels mixed into two channel light soundtrack. Dolby Surround is home system not to be confused with Dolby SR that is just noise reduction 3. Dolby Digital EX is 6.1 / 7.1 but just decoded additional channels similar to analog matrix. 4. THX has nothing to do with the used equipment (sound processors etc) just quality check.

@HiphopDestroyer666 AND A STORM TROOPER WAIT I REMBER *SOBS* WHY INDIE WHY?

[HiphopDestroyer666]

He's good, but he and Steven Spielberg raped Indiana Jones!

[flashdesunamic]

I don't get it.. THX is not a sound format, It's a certificate to Dolby Digital Surround EX 5.1 (448 Kbps) instead of DTS (768 / 1536 Kbps) Why George doesn't certificate DTS sound?? =S

and thank you for this 

[smeghead666]

anyone else love the irony that the sound in this video is a bit fooked?
