Audio bitrate never crossing 6mbps?

[nitinblurayfan]

I recently checked the audio bitrates of Indian releases of various movies and I found the bitrates a little low.
For example -

Iron Man 2 - Avg 4.7 mbps during the action sequence at Stark Expo never crossing 5 mbps

SPider-man 3 - Avg 3.5 mbps during the Harry/Peter air battle never crossing 4.5 mbps

Casino Royale - Average bitrate of 2.4mbps never crossing 3.4mbps during any action sequence.



These are bitrates of US releases-

Captain America - Avg 5.7mbps during any action sequence sometimes touch 6.7mbps



Are the bitrates really low for Indian releases or am I over-reacting? How much difference is 1mbps going to make?

Listen with your ears, not by scoping out bit rates.
