Yeah, as I said earlier, blockbusters may not be our cup of tea, but they do tend to dictate the direction of the industry. Especially in matters of format.
As for the current implementation of regional encoding, it's a nonissue if it doesn't affect me, you or anyone else.
As for DolbyTruHD, as I said, I was invited to listen to this and to the uncompressed PCM in the mixing room of Dolby Labs in San Francisco, as Sony was preparing to author a demo blu-ray disc. There was a difference and to my ears (and the ears of the Sony audio guy), the unmolested PCM was better. DolbyTruHD does compress the PCM and uncompressing it requires another step in the D->A.
If greater disc capacity can allow 7.1 PCM where HD-DVD requires greater compression, I'm all for it.
