The max bit rate is 24 Mbit/s. What you are seeing is the actual bit-rate at that given moment in the movie.

dts-MA uses variable bitrates, taking whatever bandwidth it needs at the time. So, you should see the bitrate fluctuate throughout the movie.

Also makes a difference whether its 5.1, 7.1 etc... 48kHz,96kHz, 192kHz etc... 16bit/24 bit etc
