No... it was for titles unconfirmed to have "lossless".

If you take out the TV titles, and the titles with mono tracks, there is at least a 50% support of "lossless". Add to the fact that Bajor27 brought up the fact that the ads in this week's Home Media Magazine for "Speed Racer" and "Risky Business" have Dolby TrueHD logos, the odds are good for 60% support of "lossless". Couple that with the fact, that so far, only "Lost Boys: The Tribe" and "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory" have shown "lossy" on their rear covers means that (other than WB's track record), the other titles listed with "Dolby Digital 5.1?" could have "lossless" titles as well.

I still love that all my first Warner HD DVD's advertised a bunch of films as "Coming Summer 2006" and I don't think any (maybe 1 or 2did) actually got released that year.

"Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire" was released in the UK back in 2006... but a quick peek at HighDefDigest.com reviews seem to indicate that it's a different encode than the US released last year... so hopefully WB hasn't encoded TSR yet... but we'll see...
