--->The maximum DD bitrate on DVD is slightly higher than LD (448K vs. 384K)Technically correct, however, only a few music-oriented DVDs like James Taylor Live at the Beacon are mastered at 448K bit rate - almost all 5.1 movies are 384K bit rate. Mono movies on DVD can be mastered as low as 91K bit rate (Gary Reber's "thin, compressed mono") and 5.1 downmixes are typically 256Kb. LDs always use the full 384K bit rate and are processed internally at a full 20 bits with 16/44 output instead of DVD's 18 bit internal -16/48 output which gives subjectively better sound.
Numbers aside and all things being equal, LDs sound better than DVDs when replaying 5.1 DD surround.
