Aditya

[busyanuj]

same here!

didn't they have anything better to launch dvd-audio with!

[W i d e S c r e e N]

I personally dont give a F about D2, but if I have 300 INR left in my pocket i would buy it for the additional tracks.

I hope they launch an A R Rehman collectors edition sell like hot cakes!

[tarey_g]

Dhoom 2 doesn't have good enough music which can make ppl empty their pockets. it had to be something better.

[PCWORM]

The first link is direct to online store. It offers "digital downloads" . I think the never thought about advertising.

Same thing here.
But whats different in DVDAudio than in CDA? 5.1 sound??

[ambandla]

CD-audio is encoded in 16-bit and has a max sampling rate of 44kHz.

DVD-audio is encoded in 24-bit and has a max saapling rate of 192kHz. The DVD's that we see outside normally have 96kHz sampling rate because with 192kHz, max of 2 channels can be added. The max. sampling rate for full surround (5.1) is 96kHz.

This means that you can pack more amount of detail into DVD audio disc than that in audio CD.

The difference between cassette (8-bit and 16kHz) and CD is almost similar to difference between CD and DVD.

Due to the availability of more number of bits and higher sampling rate, DVD has higher fidelity and more number of channels can be added. Right now, the max. number of channels that can be created in DVD is 6.

I would say that with DVD-Audio, we can hear music at concert quality

cool ....... & thanx 4 info @ambandla .......

i downloaded the digital songs, they are DRM protected WMA. Well, DRM is evil....so not downloading them again, already have them encoded in WMA unprotected from original CD

Off topid : What is this feature?

[techno_funky]

Great News for all the audiophiles although Dhoom 2 OST aint worth listening to on DVD Audio

[nishant_nms]

good news for Indian Music Industry

Actually DVD-Audio has enough potential to make anything sound good, even the music of Dhoom2. And now that Dhoom2 music is available on DVD-A, others will soon follow suit and come with their own versions of DVD-A. This will directly result in drop of DVD-A players prices. Regular audio CDs will also get cheaper.

In new hero honda Glamour (125 CC bike) they have used Fuel injection technology of cars ( AKA MPFI), which has increased the fuel efficiency ie KMPL and smoothened the engine. But while doing this they haven't increased the power at all and stragely priced it at 60 K bucks, price similar to bajaj Pulsar 150.
But old Glamour with carburator was good enough.

So hardly nebody has bought it.

ugh... who gives a flyin F about dhoom2! i'd rather find solitude than listen to the amazingly senseless music they came up wid... and the movie, it wuz lame, impossible and pretty damn stereotypical (my family bribed me dinner to watch this movie.... anythn for dinner!)....
i'd wish they stop aping the matrix and other cool stuff frm hollywood or atleast come up wid sumthn original or classy...
and this movie wuz a hit.. god save bharat mata...
