THX Eclipse — Eclipse Long, Eclipse Short and Eclipse Warren HD
Page 9 is dedicated entirely to the Eclipse series — three versions of the same THX trailer concept, each with a DTS-HD MA 7.1 lossless track and a DD 5.1 fallback in MKV format. Eclipse is the only 7.1 content in the HD THX library and the primary reason users come to this page specifically: it’s the only place in the section where you can verify all seven main channels plus subwoofer with a purpose-built THX source.
Eclipse Long leads at 87,900 lossless downloads and 45,800 for DD 5.1 — the most downloaded file on the page by a significant margin. At 47 seconds and 77.2MB for the lossless version it offers the best balance of duration and file size for a 7.1 verification test.
Eclipse Short follows at 47,500 lossless and 29,200 DD 5.1. Despite the name it runs 34 seconds — only 13 seconds shorter than Eclipse Long — but at 118MB for the lossless version it’s actually larger. The higher bitrate relative to duration makes it more demanding on playback hardware and marginally better for bitrate stress testing.
Eclipse Warren rounds out the page at 44,700 lossless and 22,400 DD 5.1. Running 1 minute 2 seconds it’s the longest of the three — and the most complete spatial demo. The extended runtime allows the 7.1 mix to develop object placement and channel movement in a way the shorter cuts cannot. For a thorough 7.1 channel verification it’s the most informative file on the page, though the lower download count suggests most users prioritize Eclipse Long for its faster download time.
