After hearing the disappointing sound effects in the Iron Man and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I was delighted that The Incredible Hulk, despite having only a Dolby Digital 5.1 track, has a very dynamic and loud soundtrack that's sure to rock your HT. It's almost DTS-like.

There you go!

There was a scene there where music was playing, gave the speakers a real workout

After downloading the torrent with Vuze, you burn the iso to DVD. Might take a while since it's more than 2GB to download. If you have Nero Burning Rom, go to download location and click TRAILER_DVD.iso. It should open up Nero to burn to DVD.

If your DVD player is picky with DVDR media, burn at the slowest speed.

Get a DVD sampler of the music 1812 Overture. I suggest you get the copy which uses real cannon's like the version of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.

Here's a sample ---> 1812
