What's up is that the release was written by a clueless PR hack. It would seem very unlikely that these won't have lossless audio.Originally Posted by Scott Merryfield
The press release does not indicate any lossless soundtrack, stating "DLBY/SURR" and "DLBY/DGTL". What is up with that?

I thought that the first season of Chuck, with about 300 minutes on the first disc (7 episodes; assuming a minimum of 42 minutes each, that's 294 minutes) looked just fine. And that was using the full 16x9 frame instead of easily-compressed black bars.Originally Posted by Jeff Robertson
Will a BD50 have enough room to maintain video quality with run times that exceed 200 minutes (heck, approaching 300 mins for Return)?
King Kong, another Peter Jackson movie, managed to fit the original and the extended versions of it with seamless branching on the same disc. That's roughly 200 minutes, plus an audio commentary, the U-Control and DTS-HD MA audio. As I understand it, Dolby TrueHD takes less room, so it should be done easily for the extended editions of the Lord of the Rings movies.Originally Posted by ATimson

You'd want to move any non-commentary extras onto other discs, though!
