they don't use Dialnorm."
That's one of the problems with the codec: except for Sony Pictures, nearly every other studio uses Dialog Normalization. Actually, it's probably unintentional as the Dialog Normalization numbers are nearly always -27dB, the default setting, for movies from studios using Dolby's encoders. If more audio engineers really paid attention to this, we'd see more variances. Most people who have a problem with Dolby TrueHD would "forgive 'n forget" if Dolby would just come clean and say "Hey, we fucked up. Severely. From now on our encoder will default to lossless, instead of lossy, and we're going to reconfigure current in-use decoders, for free, for the studios using them. We're even going to lock the encoders at Wrnr Brs to Dialog Normalization OFF/-31dB."
The other problem is that studios using Dolby TrueHD are more likely to stick to 5.1 audio, whereas studios using DTS-HD Master Audio show more support for 7.1 soundtracks.

Great.
*IF* only they would show more support for a DNR/EE free picture.

I agree with you 100%.
While the animation movies produced nowadays look totally awesome, I have a feeling that this "no noise, no artifacts, no grain, etc" has had an ill affect on non-animation movies. People expect, unknowingly, all movies to be computer-derived perfect. It's a shame that movie studios are doing the opposite of what should be done -- educate. They could even include an option in the disc's menu to show the buyer, via a scene from the movie, what the actual digitized film looks like (no processing whatsoever: grain, dirt, specs, artifacts, etc), what it looks like when properly processed and what it looks like when the majority of the grain and fine detail are stripped away, leaving the viewer with a presentation very much not like the director intended.
