Tip of the Day: DVD-Audio does not play on PC DVD-drives. So bring out the ashes and sack-clothes and repent, all ye sinners. <\/p>\n
India’s first DVD-Audio title happens to be Boys<\/i>. Fine, so I’ve heard Aiyyo, Love is Full of Pain<\/i> from all five speakers. ( YUP! FIVE! The center speaker is ignored with stereo mixed tracks. ) But just for the heck of it, I decided to hear Vasundhara Das singing for me the way she sang in the studio. That’s what they say about DVD Audio, don’t they? The exact replica of a studio-recording, no compression, etc etc. (Funny, that’s what they said when cds came out the first time, exact replica and all) Anyways, I bought the DVD for 125 rupees. Even though it said “This item is not for sale” in bold on the cover. It also said – “This does not play in CD\/VCD players”. Took it home, popped it in the drive, and waited, with bated breath and lustful ears, for the glorious Dolby Digital TM<\/font>5.1 sound to strike my ears.<\/p>\n What struck my ears was 5 plus 1 speakers full of glorious static. That’s when I play it on the Creative Player. When I try the PowerDVD player, it gives me 5 plus 1 speakers of silence.<\/p>\n WAAAAH!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tip of the Day: DVD-Audio does not play on PC DVD-drives.
