hi all noticed this rather excellent post on avs detaillign the audio and video specs of various blu-ray titles.

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showpost.ph...amp;postcount=1

wonder if this is kept upto date by the OP ?

anyone got a link to similar for hd dvd titles ?

Good find Al; Ide say the op has done a good job considering the first date posted and the silver surfer movie mentioned. I had a grin when you notice the large volume of 16/48 pcm discs and on the other hand 20/24 bit discs -which have benefited from dts hd or dd truehd compression.

Something tells me this poster has read bfdtv's comments on why pcm should be shafted. Have never found a hd dvd list - this would be good too. High percentage of DD plus methinks -nothing wrong with that but

Actually, the equivalent HD-DVD thread is here :

excellent !

good work torra, thankyou for posting

interesting thing re this post on avs, is it correct chronicles of riddick and aeon flux have dts-hd secondary tracks. dont recall them havign to be honest.

It doesn't (for Riddick anyway)

It has DD+ and DTS.

DTS can be called DTS-HD, as it is listed as a subset of DTS-HD... Probably due to its ability to do up to 24bit audio (I believe DD was modified also to do 24bit too... I recall something in the Insiders thread from Dolby on this)

It certainly can MWE; Ime still trying to find a 24/96 dts disc- this decoding was introduced at least 3 years ago If the list poster had said dts hdhr ;he would have been wrong - different bit rates at good old dts.com -

It would have clarified things if he just said dts core

Mate, try this link

Select a region, and select "DTS Digital Surround 96/24" as the Technology

Thanks muchly Andrew ;Turns out I bought the wrong Master and Commander dvd - the english version was the right one At least there are 10 available - interesting to compare with the equivalent hd disc

No problem at all, found that site when I was looking for dvds to test out my new amp/speaker combo
