Default Canada's take on why PCM is so prevalent on Blu releases

There are a whole littany of reasons why PCM is so prevalent on Blu Ray releases.


1. PCM 5.1 is one of the best of the new encodeing forms for audio quality on Blu. Sorry, HD DVD you don't have enough space, when I think about it I'm not sorry, I'm glad .

2. Everbody with an HDMI receiver or 6 channel analog inputs on there BR player and receiver can decode it in 5.1 surround.

3. I have no idea if this is true or not but you probably don't have to pay anyone licencing fees to use it, since it has been used on CD's since the mid 80's. Plus I almost positive no one own's PCM.
