Remember the three disc "Windtalker" on SD DVD?!?!?! That's how you treat a "dog". Put it in a tin case; like those terrible PD DVD's. This is CRAZY!!! Modern movie: OLD soundtrack Catalog title: MODERN soundtrack EDitEDbyED: What is the cost difference between a lossy & lossless soundtrack? Or, are we ONLY talking space? Then its what's the cost difference between BD25 & BD50? |

Just wait... when the disc streets it will probably have a lower average video-bit rate than Sony's MPEG2 PCM BD25 titles that had lossless audio! |

It should be about providing the highest quality of presentation that's possible.

This is not just a matter of Speed Racer tanking at the box office IMHO, WB has stuck way to many titles with Dolby Digital. And as long as the movie is new enough to have a 5.1 track I will continue to not buy titles that do not include lossless audio!
Lossy Dolby Digital on Blu-ray = NO SALE |
Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes time, and it annoys the pig.
As I noted in the 'are there too many complaints' thread, this is the kind of hyperbole that is irritating. Is it less than the ideal (given what is possible)? Certainly. Is it disappointing? Of course. Do people have the right to complain and withhold their money? Sure. But do we really need such exaggeration? |
