THD is half the space of PCM. But I believe Warner is using encoders that are written by Microsoft that are geared towards HD-DVD. While the encoder works with THD for HD-DVD, it doesn't work with BD. THD for BD may have to be re-encoded. So far only one title has THD on BD.

The other reason is that Warner is following the suggestions of the BD supporters that they do PCM instead of THD, since most of the BD players out there do not have THD decoding capability.
