    Whether the source is 16/48 or 24/48 or ? remains to determined (Dui ?).
    
    I just found out my LG actually supports 5.1 TrueHD for Blu-Ray discs so this disk moved up significantly on the priority list (The player still only supports 2 channel TrueHD on HD DVD disks).

        assuming your source has 5/7.1 analog outputs....
        
        Or a Halcro or Theta or Meridian HDMI 1.3-capable pre/pro. :0)

  There is no blu-ray DVD. You really need to get the formats down. There's DVD. Then there's HD-DVD. Then there's Blu-ray. You're using DVD to describe blu-ray and you refer to HD-DVD simply as HD. Accuracy is not your strong suit.

    The epic graphic novel by Frank Miller assaults the screen with the blood, thunder and awe of its ferocious visual style faithfully recreated in an intense blend of live-action and CGI animation 300 Blu-ray DVD

      As I understand it, the BDA isn't allowed to use the term "DVD" in thier name. The DVD consortium, which BDA are members too (a minority), are pretty insistant on it. They aren't supposed touse the term "Next Generation DVD" either. Of course, what goes on online is a seperate reality.

    Trying to find a lesson about me as a person is trolling. Its about the music (and the video); not about trying to impress people with how smart (you think) you are. Let's compare posts on Outside and see who is more accurate with five years hindsight.

      Fine, don't listen to me. Just remember...you don't define anything. The formats are already defined. When you talk about them, it's in your interest to use the actual name of the format.

        Lets stop the thread at the first 600 names.
        
        Jazz, its time to stop, and time for you to quit assuming you speak for everyone else. Whether its this inane topic, or "Too much gore in Apocalypto", where you are certain your sensibilities are the "CORRECT" ones and everybody else is wrong, your compass is off.

          You have your facts wrong, and it's as simple as that.
          
          As for my movie opinions, that's a nonissue. As for Apocalypto, Gibson started it with a quote from a philosopher/historian that suggested the film would be an exposition on civilization, but it wasn't. It was a violent mess of a film.
