Tomb Raider UK blu-ray (BD50, AVC Encode, No lossless Sound)

[stargazeruk]

I just got this movie today and it has no lossless sound on the disk what so ever. Just a standard DTS and DD Track. But the video has been AVC encoded.

The packaging on the other hand has the Dolby TrueHD logo on it. Someone has screwed up here.

Could give a stuff about the audio, the fact that it's an AVC transfer over the US MPEG2 is bonus enough.

I've just ordered this from PLAY.COM a few days ago, what does the DTS track sound like compared to the DOLBY DIGITAL?

I thought regular old DTS was 768 kbps? Is the 1.5 mbps sec readout verified? If so, that should sound awesome.

DTS lossy can have up to 1.5mbs bit rate.

A lot of early US DVDs offered 1.5mbs DTS while current releases offer 768kbs DTS.

Hong Kong, Thailand, and Korean DVDs still offer 1.5mbs DTS.

BDs almost always offer 1.5mbs DTS but some could have lower bit rates. However, all DTS-HD Master Audio lossless tracks so far have offered a 1.5mbs DTS lossy core.

I'm definitely interested now. I can deal with DTS @ that bitrate. What's the average bit-rate for the video encode? I'm a big Lara Croft/Tomb Raider fan.

Region free?
