Any Audio-only BD Titles Planned? - Blu-ray Forum

GoldenRedux · 10-02-2006, 05:30 PM

I'm really interested in this. Though I still prefer DSD to PCM, I would be really interested in some 192/24 stereo and surround audio titles on BD. Is there anything like this planned or announced?

I don't think an audio variant of BD has been officially announced.
I may be mistaking there though...

Speculations, even by BDA members yes. But an official annoucement of a BD-Audio format... Haven't seen it yet.

Oh, I didn't realise that. I sort of assumed, anyhow, that all it took was to make a BD disc with just audio on it and maybe some minor menu options. I don't really see what else would be needed for an audio-only release anyway.

What could be released, are special music BDs, like the music DVDs now (not the DVDA or SACD), but then with a higher sound quality. Wikipedia says

Quote:

Blu-ray discs support encoding in up to 24-bit/192 kHz for up to six channels, or up to eight channels of up to 24-bit/96 kHz encoding.

So I believe 6 channels with 24bit/96 kHz would be sufficient for a nice audio disc.

I'd rather have 6 channels of 192/24. Leave the 96/24 for DVD-A.

Ah well whatever then.

That's just a personal preference between price/quality ofcourse.

They should remaster all the Pink Floyd albums in blu-ray surround sound. Speaking of that The Wall would be cool on BD if they could re-master the audio+video!

I'm still waiting for that Wish You Were Here SACD to show up.

It is coming out on HD for the release of the Xbox 420 with the HD drive in a package. As mentioned in anthor thread. LOL

vick vega · 10-04-2006, 04:08 PM

lol, yeah it is a super xbox package the "420 plus" . It's the same as the 420, but it also includes a bonus ounce of magic mushrooms and the wall in high def and super hi fi audio.
