Default Re: Further X-Curve discussion

curious...why would you encode the DVD with an X-curve? it is for large room compensation; aren't most DVD's seen in "small" rooms? living room , bedroom. i used to have a large, live living room (1000 sq feet) but that is unusually large. i did a test on a mix with and without X-Curve imposed on my monitor path, seting up my room like a theater, and it was better without. when would the X-curve be useful for playback? in a "home theater"? isn't that still too small?

is it that you don't want to re-mix it? (curious question, not accusatory) wouldn't you want to optimize your cinema mix for home playback? (maybe you're doing that but stil;l usign the eXtended curve)

and, how would the decoder know how to turn it off?
