interesting blu audio poll

Posted by Joe Murphy Jr (A) on May 19, 2009 at 16:20:26

See the link below: should Sony drop Dolby TrueHD and start using DTS-HD Master Audio?

If Dialog Normalization (the digital attenuation command contained in the metadata of the stream) is used at the time of the encode, then the output soundtrack is no longer lossless by definition -- input PCM is not equal to output PCM. It's rather interesting that one of the only studios that actually provides a true lossless soundtrack when using Dolby TrueHD (Sony Pictures sets Dialog Normalization to -31dB/OFF, other studios don't) might consider switching their Blu-ray soundtrack codec (albeit one in which the default setting of the encoder is actually lossless, DTS-HD Master Audio).

I, for one, hope they do and other studios follow -- even the douchebags at Wrnr Brthrs.
