In Reply to: Bandwidth, more than storage capacity is probably what's keeping lossless audio off of HD DVD discs.... posted by oscar on December 10, 2007 at 11:09:05:
While bandwidth limitations would certainly have an impact on unusually long features on single disc HD unless the inevitable multi-layer presentations come to pass, the "lossless/uncompressed" algorithm issues are more rumour and cheer-leading hyperbole than fact based. Have you personally ever heard any subjective difference in sound quality between the same titles offered in both formats?
BTW, have you had a chance to try out that 3x1 HDMI switcher? I upgraded to an Oppo switcher about a month ago so I don't need the loaner back, but if you don't want it a couple of folks at the meeting elicited an interest.
