But if the idea is to bypass the AVR, that is irrelevant.
That's Disney like you said, there's no way to fix their tracks, but I've got a few samples I can show you the waveform of with and without DRC enabled, they're really different.
On other codecs or Dolby's suffering?
Yes, you can't tell the OS that you need more channels than 8, it won't grant you an output, even if there are way more channels. This is only possible on very low level.
And there's no standard channel order. PCs use L R C LFE RL RR SL SR, some media players (like Dune) use L R C SL RL RR SR LFE...
Because there's no standard beyond 8 channels, only Atmos, which Windows supports via bitstreaming. The studio interfaces are handled directly from the DAW, with a custom layout. Using a layout editor is complicated for the average user. There are also licensing issues.
Yeah, obviously there is no layout because you can use these channels arbitrarily. That's what your decoder can do as well I would guess?
Yes, with a complete 3D editor in the Driver, but after user reports, it was dumbed down to a preset selection for the converter. In the case of Atmos, where most content have static objects, making them basically channel-based, this is a fool-proof approach, that's why AVRs also don't allow free channel placement.
That's fantastic
Hopefully, it still supports both options.
That defeats the whole purpose of Atmos, doesn't it?
I know the Yamaha's at least measure the speaker distances, angles, and height in 3D space. I guess they should be able to do the proper rendering. Speakers al almost never set up perfectly in the right spot unless there is a dedicated room, and most people don't have that. It should be a very valuable feature.
In different programs, but yes.
It's a compromise for space. Home Atmos is not ready for true 3D, only height. Barely anyone wanted more, and Dolby wouldn't want to work for those 10 users. All development is guided by what the majority can/want to do.
Even if you use the editor, it won't be close to the real soundstage because of the reflections. I don't know what Yamaha does, but that is only possible with very specific and guided microphone placement. I wanted to work on this without compromising the easy setup, but that's mathematically impossible, too many variables for too few equations.
That's exactly what they seem to do. They also claim to get rid of the first reflections.. But the better bet is the new Dirac Spacial Room correction.
The first reflections shouldn't be removed as you also hear the distorted speaker position because of them. I would say the leader in this aspect is Duran, they can reproduce the room in 3D just by sound, nobody comes close to this.
It's absolutely true. The "real" Dolby Atmos is the Theatrical version. The Home version loses many 3D data. That's it.
It's a downmix, it doesn't lose data on the targeted small systems. Why keep all objects, if it sounds exactly the same rendered to 16 channels? Yeah, it won't allow free speaker placement, but it's versatile enough for most users.

Frankenfight: Blu-ray vs. HD DVD, Formats Not Equal
Click to viewThe Blu-Ray vs. HD DVD battle seems as old as time itself. Being tech savvy consumers, we've heard the two formats are, to the end user, pretty identical. Both are capable of equal resolution, equal sound output and equal mass flopping.
Where is the proof then? It can't be in the format. Because they all encode 24 bit audio just fine. There is no reason that DD+ would have less dynamic range, other than that it is a different mix or different metadata applied.
Yes, this is the issue. My testing had DRC disabled, you can't do this with an AVR. The codec has no issue, the studios who set the metadata have.

The server is located somewhere in Slovakia, that could be the reason.
This is a known Unity bug, resizing the window (maybe after Alt + Enter) could fix this.
It starts full screen, and when I make it windowed, I can't change the size
No doubt that DRC make his job. But the real issue is that the soundtrack with no DRC sounds even so dynamic compressed respect to the Theatrical version. Disney, at this time, is the only Major that do this in streaming and Disc.
You could try different resolutions, but I'd prefer a full Windows installation.It starts full screen, and when I make it windowed, I can't change the size
Are dubbed versions released by different copyright holders normal? If they are, then Spleeter can come to the rescue, mixing foreign, dynamic versions with the speech from English, DRC versions.
