Re: 300: HD DVD edition - Best hidef disc, period? A review.

he is writing bitrate for PCM 6.9mbit 16bit, as far as I know 6.9mbit is 24bit

(edit)

I think you're right, I think 6.9 mbps is usually what we see with 24-bit 5.1 PCM. I'll check the bit-rate on Chicago to see if it matches (and on T5E which is 16-bit PCM).

Warner has supplied both next-gen editions with matching Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround tracks (48kHz/16-bit), but this Blu-ray is also graced with an additional PCM 5.1 surround option (48kHz/16-bit/6.9mbps). Right upfront, the PCM sounded a bit louder, but after some level matching, a direct A/B comparison of several scenes revealed only slight differences. Although I'm sure this disc will stir up the whole TrueHD vs PCM debate, either way you slice it, the action scenes in '300' deliver the kind of demo-worthy audio that should be pure nirvana for any home theater enthusiast.

Sounds like Dialog-Normalization is applied to the TrueHD tracks. Big surpirse, coming from WB.
