Re: Misleading info on DVD covers

John,

Dolby Digital is not a fixed number of channels, it is a lossy audio compression codec. DD can encode anywhere from one to 5.1 channels.

Along with the DD logo on the back of the disc should be a diagram that indicates the channel configuration.

Full Screen has always been used to denote 4:3 aspect ratio presentation as that is currently the dominant display aspect ratio. Widescreen or 16:9 or similar words are used to describe non 4:3 presented materials.

I hear what you're saying, but your aggravation is at best misplaced.

Regards,
