Watched the movie yesterday....AWSOME to say the least. It is a beautiful transfer and a terrific film. I haven't looked at the other discs in the set. With that said, I just read Bill Hunt's column on "The Digital Bits" site and he indicated that ".we’re getting reports that people are...

I have the Original Soundtrack Recording on a Varese Sarabande CD. The credit on the film shows "Music conducted by Sir Adrien Boult." Maurice Jarre states on the CD notes that this was due to a contractual requirement in which Sam Spiegel, the producer, gave the credit to Sir Adrien Boult...
Additional info from Digital Bits: "Also today, after getting a number of reader e-mails, I've confirmed that there IS a minor audio issue with Paramount's Titanic Blu-ray. About 29 seconds into the film, just as the vocal music track begins, there's a sort of "popping" sound in the audio mix...
