THX Tex robot in Tex 3 Action — DD 5.1 and DD EX 5.1 VOB surround demos
THX Tex — Tex 3 Action, The Simpsons, The Audition, The Science and Whoa
Page 6 closes out the Tex robot storyline in the SD library. THX Tex appears here in its third main iteration — Tex 3: Action — continuing the character arc that began on page 5 with the original Tex and Tex 2: Moo Can. The Simpsons leads downloads on this page at 48,700, which reflects the same pattern seen on page 4: crossover trailers featuring recognizable franchises consistently outperform pure technical demos.
Tex 3: Action pulls 37,800 downloads at 41 seconds and 29.2MB in standard DD 5.1. It’s the final SD appearance of the Tex robot character and the most action-oriented of the three Tex entries — the title references the increased pace of the animation compared to the earlier versions.
The Simpsons at 48,700 downloads is a separate trailer from the Simpsons Tex on page 4. This version features the full Simpsons cast rather than the Tex character crossover, encoded in DD 5.1 at 34 seconds and 23.8MB.
The Science of Sensation is the only DD EX 5.1 file on this page at 28,700 downloads — 31 seconds and 10.9MB. Despite being the shortest file here it’s the most technically interesting for EX decoding verification. At 50.9MB, Whoa is the largest file on the page despite running only 54 seconds in DD 5.1 — 22,100 downloads. Its high bitrate relative to duration is noticeable on playback. Meanwhile The Audition runs 59 seconds at just 20.2MB, making it the longest file here but with a more compressed encode. At 19,300 downloads it sits at the bottom of the page, which is consistent with its lower visual and audio impact compared to the character-based trailers.
