24/48 audio

It has nothing to do with cost: nearly all of today's motion pictures are mastered at 20/48 or 24/48. Until Hollywood moves to 24/96, which I really don't see them having an interest in, that's what you're going to get on High Definition releases. Of course, many older films were mastered at 16/48, so that's why numerous releases weren't 20 or 24-bit.

While some want Hollywood to kick it up a notch to 24/96, I don't believe movie soundtracks will benefit from such an upgrade. However, music videos, concerts, etc on the High Definition releases should always include the highest sample rate and bit depth that's available from the artist.
