Bofur01 245 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I saw a photo of a disc... which was admittedly most likely the film itself, rather than the soundtrack, but wouldn’t it be weird to have a disc for the film vs a download for the soundtrack?

If it was the film, it would've leaked online by now, IMO. EDIT: Is this the picture? Amazingly this photo is over a month old. EDIT 2: Nope, looks like you were spot on! It's the film itself, judging by this photo: Each copy must be uniquely watermarked to disencourage piracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,316 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 A shame DIsney didn't bother uploading a better quality version, to present the score in its best light. It's like they're barely even trying to help JW win. What's more likely to resonate with Academy voters? A weblink in some random email that could easily get filtered into their spam folder, or a physical CD mailed to their home address? Such a no-brainer.

Arpy 4,145 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Let's face it, the quality of the FYC is meager in comparison to the presentation and editing. It's not something Williams would be proud to submit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,690 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Not many people will hear the difference - it's only those with the right equipment who would stand a chance at telling it's only 192.

King Mark 3,631 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 At 192 kbps is the bare minimum for "quality" though .I can hear the difference at 160 and 128kbps They could have at least steamed 320k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 For edits it's better to have lossless to avoid a compression cycle when you re-encode to MP3 for your portable player. That said all the music I listen to is 320k MP3 unless I can't have that I have good headphones and can't tell the difference between a FLAC and MP3 192k and above The soundcard on your computer and headphones make a dramatic difference in sound quality vs bitrate 192k and above Demodex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviazn 273 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I think it’s true that people tend to overestimate their ability to distinguish low bitrate stuff relative to their equipment. But having said that, with all the Chi-fi audio gear these days, very transparent audiophile setups are more affordable and available to more people than ever. Even mainstream stuff like AirPods, Beats, and Sony are improving rapidly, and in turn, more people feel comfortable dropping several hundred bucks on a pair of cans. In that environment, 192 kbps does seem like a shabby way to release anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 1,743 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I wonder how many FYCs on CD get sent out per score? 500? 1000? More than that? Do they only go to the music branch or all members (in the case of Oscar voters - not sure how FYCs work with other awards)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I agree that if the price doesn't get too crazy, you should be able to rip it and put it right back up on eBay and either make most or all of your money back. That said, if you do end up running a deficit, then just take note of all the folks (me included) who said they'd help contribute to the cause.
