>>>I was referring to the chip manufacturers (Sigma Designs and Broadcom), both of which make products for HD DVD player manufacturers (aka Toshiba) to use. It had nothing to do with the BDA.<<<
OK, I didn't get that.

>>>They could have pulled a Warner Bros or Paramount and encoded their Blu-ray titles with lossy audio<<<
If you can't decode the lossless, what difference does it make?

>>>Only if you want to decode/bitstream DTS-HD Master Audio. Otherwise, you have a usually nice sounding DTS mix to listen to. Besides, going by what many of the HD DVD supporters have been saying for the past year, lossless audio isn't needed anyway.<<<
Actually, I'll eventually have to get another player for advanced video profiles. No, I don't care that much about audio. this is more a matter of principle. Having features that no one can use is just plain sloppy, and very user unfriendly.
