"Moulin Rouge!" DTS Lip-Sync problem... - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Dangerboy5 · 12-22-2001, 12:30 AM

Has any one else out there had a noticable "Lip-Sync" problem with the DTS soundtrack to the recently released "Moulin Rouge"? It's most noticable on "Chapter 9. Your Song" in which the opening lines of the song out of Ewan McGregor's mouth are very much off the movements of his lips. The problem doesn't seem to exist on the Dolby Digital soundtract, which is frustrating because the DTS track is a noticably superior soundtrack.

By the way, my DVD player is the Integra DPS-9.1

I just watched this tonight and I saw the same problem! No prob with the Dobly Digital soundtrack at all. I have a Panasonic KP56 progressive scan player. It was worse in some areas than others.

Best,

Dave

I just sawhe dvd yesterday evening. I had the same problem but on my pmdt with progressive scan i can syncronise the video and audio in the player menue so i could fix it

Indyphantom · 12-26-2001, 09:12 PM

I noticed this for sure on the DTS track. I'll have to compare them. It's "a little bit funny, this feeling inside, it's not one of those problems, you can easily hide."

Crow331 · 12-29-2001, 07:06 PM

I have the same problem and it's very frustrating ... I have a Toshiba 6200 player and a Yamaha digital receiver.

I wish someone at Fox would get on this quickly!! Recall the disc!

SolidSnakeASS · 12-30-2001, 05:42 PM

I have the same problem too. It really sucks. Should I exchange the disc? Or am I just going to get another disc like this.

Jr M · 01-05-2002, 12:18 PM

I've got the same problem on a Sony DVP-S725D. Very annoying...

Has anyone had any feedback from Fox yet?

zero1113 · 01-08-2002, 02:46 AM

I just tried mine out and didn't see the problem. Im using a Sony DVP-NS300.

Listos · 01-09-2002, 06:02 PM

Onkyo DVD Player, Onkyo Receiver. Same problem. Love the Moulin Rouge DVD. Love DTS. Just don't combine the two unless you're a Milli Vanilli fan.

I, too, have had the same problem. Glad to hear it's not just my disc or my decoder. Any word on a repressing?

just watched the movie (which was amazing) on dts, and i did not notice a problem at all on chapter 9 or anywhere for that matter. maybe it's only certan dvds?

Oscar Antonio M · 08-10-2002, 09:37 AM

I didnt have a problem.

jonathan_little · 08-11-2002, 06:44 PM

I've got the problem and I can replicate it on two different setups. I bought the movie back in January.

I play the disc on a Pioneer DV-440 and its decoded by a Kenwood VR-605 receiver. I can also replicate the problem on my Granddad's equipment, a Panasonic DVD player (RV-32, I think) and a Technics SA-DX950 receiver.

tomdkat · 08-11-2002, 09:57 PM

Given the diversity of DVD player makes/models being reported, it sounds like a dts audio mastering problem.

For those who have NOT experienced the problem, please post your DVD player make/model.

Peace.....

mighty mint · 08-12-2002, 04:26 AM

I'm glad someone posted this thread because I though that I was crazy...okay...let the comments forming in your minds pass for now. I have not tried the DD to see if I have the same problem there. My player is a Toshiba 3109. To be truthful I enjoyed the movie so much, that little tiddle doesn't bother me in the bit and it certainly doesn't affect the awesome sound!

Welles and Ford Fan · 08-16-2002, 02:05 PM

I did not have the problem. I looked at the scene last night in both dts and DD, and the lip synching were identical for me.

The DTS sync problem is well known. Check any DVD internet forum and you'll find countless discussions on it going back all the way to December. From what I've heard, no one can confirm whether Fox has fixed the problem in any new pressings. Meanwhile, they have remained mute when it comes to acknowledging the problem. Supposedly after numerous e-mails, they promised to look into it, but nothing has been heard from them since then. It has been at least four months.

jonathan_little · 12-08-2002, 05:27 AM

Does anybody know if the upcoming Jan. 14th single disc release of Moulin Rouge will fix the DTS sync problem? The realist in me says it will probably just be a re-issue of disc 1 from the previous 2 disc set, but miracles do happen...

It's quite embarrassing that a THX-certified feature has a problem such as this.

I've got the same problem on my Toshiba SD-3800
