r/Dolby

One of my biggest regrets in life will be that I watched PHM in regular because I didn't think I'd love it THAT much. I so wish I watched it in IMAX when it was playing so I can truly experience the best of it, but now that it stopped, I want to rewatch it in any other format available (which I've NEVER had the urge for before), which is Dolby Atmos.

So my question is: will Dolby Atmos be good for this movie? What's important to me are the visuals but I'm no connoisseur. I know it'll be better than regular and IMAX will not be back but I don't want to spend the money to rewatch it unless it's worth it.

I heard that DA is known for the sound quality and contrast but I'm not sure about anything else. Thank you all in advance!

Does dolby atmos for headphones map the metadata into 7.1.4 channels and then virtualizes it or does it use the metadata itself to create a true 3d audio space?
So when a game supports spatial audio, does that mean that it sends the metadata to dolby atmos for headphones as is and then it virtualizes it, or are channels created anywhere in the pipeline? I'm a bit confused on that?

Just had a question as to what people prefer. As we know ATV converts any TrueHD tracks with atmos into a lossless version that removes the atmos metadata so the only way we can get atmos is via DDP.

I have the option to either watch a movie via blu ray rip on infuse with a truehd track or the streaming version which will output atmos correctly

So was just wondering what people prefer, watching on the truehd track but without atmos or the DDP with the atmos metadata.

My setup consists of a beam gen 2, sub mini and era 100 rears

I am seeking technical advice for my 5.1 home theater setup. I am using a Denon AVR-1312 [connected with an Optical Wire to the tv] with customized JBL rear speakers and a Xiaomi MiTV front array. While the front stage sounds excellent, the rear speakers—mounted at the top rear corners—are producing very low volume and poor sound quality. I currently have the AVR set to Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema. Given the narrow dimensions of my room (17.5' x 6.5'), could you please help me calibrate the levels?

i've heard many great things about dolby cinema; the image quality, colors, etc. but especially the audio quality. I've always heard people describe it having "floor shaking" bass. I recently watched Michael in dolby cinema because i knew atmos would be superior to imax for a musical but I was left kinda disappointed. for context, this dolby cinema branch is in kuwait, the avenues mall. the 3D audio definitely was good but I felt it lacked something. the bass was barely felt, audio sounded a bit lower compared to the normal screens as well. my first guess was maybe because we're in a mall they have restrictions on this but dolby calibrate their own audio to a standard level so I wouldn't expect that to happen. so i was wondering if my expectations were too high or if there might be a fault on the theatres side because i know dolby atmos can be way better

I like 4K more with HDR but no Dolby vision.
