In Reply to: It's a start. but how do 5.1 systems handle 7.1 24/96 PCM? posted by oscar on July 7, 2008 at 12:52:17:
He's not talking about 7.1 PCM on the disc: he's using Dolby TrueHD for the encode. Codecs have a feature that allows them to be output as less channels, and still retain the "missing" channels' information, if the user doesn't have a system that allows him/her to take advantage of all encoded channels.
I did ask him to either make sure that he turns off Dialog Normalization for Dolby TrueHD or reconsider using DTS-HD Master Audio instead.
