Using Dolby Digital, at least 2.0 is part of DVD spec, nothing anybody can do about it.Yes, that is what I remember which is why I said you have three options that make sense, mentioned a few posts back:
1) Eliminate DTS track and use the max Dolby Digital rate, allocating the bandwidth to the video.
2) Eliminate the max Dolby Digital track and provide a minimal 2.0 DD track and a 'full' bit-rate DTS track.
3) Eliminate the max Dolby Digital track and provide a minimal 2.0 DD track and raise the DTS bandwidth a little and the video a little
But don't waste (like many DVDs in general) bandwidth on two primary soundtracks... I'm not worried about storage as much as it seems that every sound track takes a chunk of bandwidth, which is the weakest link for standard DVD. I know Sony was asked about why they did not just include a higher bandwidth DTS track instead of a low bandwidth DTS track and max bandwidth DD track...
