When Watching a U2 DVD

[Justin24]

Do you watch it on a Widescreen TV and do you prefer to listen to it in Dolby Digital or DTS?


DTS for me and in Widescreen.

 

[Screwtape2]

It depends if Hamish is involved.

I prefer the smallest screen for those DVD's.

 

[U2Man]

um...

dts is superior to dolby digital...so why would anyone prefer to listen to it in dolby digital, if they can listen to the dts track?

DTS and the screen doesn't really matter too much to me.

 

[LyricalDrug]

DTS and widescreen, all the way.

Even though PopMart was shot in 4:3, I'd love for them to edit it, and get it into 16:9, for the Mexico City vid. That's what happened with the LiveAid DVD. Sure, a little bit of the top and bottom gets edited out, but it looks WAY better.

I despise widescreen.

I prefer widescreen by a mile.

um...

dts is superior to dolby digital...so why would anyone prefer to listen to it in dolby digital, if they can listen to the dts track?

Not necessarily - it depends on how much they are compressed. With the new Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD, we will hear lossless audio.

I despise widescreen.

Elaborate, please.

I despise widescreen.

Isn't it true that they fit "more" into the widescreen format.

I usually watch my dvds on my nice 3 year old analogue tele. It does the job

Elaborate, please.

It strikes me as unnatural due to a lack of balance.

That said, I have severe visual impairments, so that might have something to do with it as it seems almost everyone I know favours it.
