Dolby TrueHD Bitrate Question - Blu-ray Forum

slimdude · 10-30-2011, 07:41 PM

It could be the fact that Dolby uses Dialogue Normalization, (a feature that other codecs don't utilizes) which may effect its overall bitrat,e causing variable readings. The DN signal decreases the dynamic range of the soundtrack.

dialnorm does not affect dynamic range. This is a common misconception.

Well I prefer soundtracks without DN applied! I don't know if its's just me but Dolby always sounded a bit softer, and less robust than DTS, and PCM 5.1.
