I'm with you. I replace all the "eco" cases with ones I purchase separately in bulk. The "eco" cases? They go in the trash.
I plan on doing the exact same thing now that I have accumulated enough to make a bulk order worth my while.
My thoughts exactly.
I'm quite sure it would have been in addition to the DD track since the posters there seem to understand that situation quite well, and it would have been a close call as to whether or not it would fit. But either way, a 16/48 TrueHD track would have fit easily.

That was part of what gave the movie lasting appeal to me; I was wracking my brains for a couple of days trying to figure out how everything fit together. Even now I just have a general idea of it, and just sort of trust that the movie is following its own internal logic. Oddly enough I turned...
