That's what I was referring to - that "softening"/"warming". Although this vinyl bootleg may just be a rip of the lossy audio from the DVD, it may just plain sound better - even ripped to a CD.mg196 wrote:The nature of analog audio is to "soften" or "warm" the sounds. When you digitize analog audio, you lose that warmth. Then to convert it back to analog would make the sound much different than it was originally.GroovyMusic wrote:If the source of this LP is in fact just the Raro Video DVD, oh well. Even if it is, the vinyl will probably enhance the sound.

this is all totally subjective, and this thread is slowly driving me crazyGroovyMusic wrote: it may just plain sound better
one minute you want the best quality /most original recording, then you backtrack to just say you think it 'may sound better'...
Some people think their high end hi-fi gear 'sounds better' with wooden knobs rather than metal.
I know you must always have the last word, GM, but can't we just say 'yes, it's good quality' and move on????? It's a lo-fi recording to begin with.

Well, sound-quality matters to some people.simonm wrote:this is all totally subjective
I never said anything about the "original" recording or "tracking down the source" or anything like that - all I want is the music in the best quality possible.simonm wrote:one minute you want the best quality /most original recording, then you backtrack to just say you think it 'may sound better'...

Move on from what? No one here is dwelling on anything. I bought the LP and I gave it to my friend yesterday who's going to do a transfer for me (by next week) and I'll post a quality comparison. That's all.

Good one, especially the last point.
Some people talk to much. And say nothing... Actually...

You're mixing up DVDs with DVD-Audio. The audio on regular DVD videos is compressed so there's room for the video. DVD-Audio is a format where the entire DVD is devoted to the audio.mrgreen71 wrote:GroovyMusic wrote:
If dvd is lossy, then cd is even more lossy. Actually the audio on a dvd is at a higher sampling rate and bit depth (48kHz, 24bits) than an audio cd (44,1kHz,16bits).
I like reading incorrect information. Pluto is a planet and the moon is made of cheese! Mouse-a-rific!

I'm not talking about DVD-Audio at all. I'm talking about music DVD-Video's. These are NOT compressed at all. I've ripped the audio off several DVD-V discs and have never come across compressed audio on these. I do know most films on dvd have compressed audio to save space.GroovyMusic wrote:mrgreen71 wrote: You're mixing up DVDs with DVD-Audio.
