Dreadful sound since the start of it.

    Yeah messed up for me, switched to SD and was fine. Thought it was my box, so restarted it, and I guess it settled down after that.

    My picture skipped a few frames back and forward as well - very annoying but again settled down after around 15 mins or so. And was disappointed by the PQ as well - the outdoor scenes lacked that wow factor you usually get with HD films.

    I think you've revealed some personal bias, or an agenda. ;)

    Sound was distorted for about half a minute at the start then was corrected (causing a picture glitch) but otherwise, vision in HD was very good for me. Have recorded both films ready to burn to DVD at under 6GB each. But only half a BD!

    On the Panny BD recorder, Lion Witch Wardrobe was free of copy restriction but sadly, Prince Caspian was 'copy once' restricted in HD. I wonder why the difference?

    But considering the file size for 2+ hour movies in HD, the quality is good.

    Ooops, BD not DVD. Too late to edit. Wrong board too, I recorded it on Freeview. :o

    I sat down to watch my recording of Prince Caspian and noticed all the sound problems. My Amp showed DD 5.1 when all the sound distortion occurred and switched quite a few times between DD 5.1 and just Pro-Logic. I noticed that most of the movie ended up not being in DD.

    The repeat showing was fine.

    First time I watched the film all the way through and enjoyed it.

    The Sound Of Music had the same sound issues too.
