Lossy blu ray's with less than 1.5mbps bitrate

I was under the impression that all blu ray's that supported DTS automatically bitrates at 1.5mbps to compensate for the compression. However, i've been testing quite a few blu rays these days, and some of them are still DVD birate.

All Artificial Eye blu's that I own have been displaying 740mbps on my PS3, including the Three Colours Trilogy and Double Life Of Veronique . Now, they still sound decent, but it's frustrating that it would have such a lower bitrate than they should.

I was very surprised to find that Drive had a similar bitrate too, maybe 760 or something, and while that too sounds alright, it didn't sound nowhere near as amazing as it did in the cinema.

I know, I know, cinemas use far superior sound systems, however, for a lossy amp, my system is pretty decent, I feel. I've got a Pure Platinum Digitheatre 5.1 system, and while it may be about a decade old and not lossy, it's still high quality sound with good frequences and a clean yet deep subwoofer.



Anyways, anybody else with lossy tech find some of their blu's have low bitrates??

740 MBPS! And i'am not getting you , you mean to say Drive's Blu-Ray's DTS HD-MA track has bitrates averaging 760 kbps? (which is just not possible) , even the core track is DTS 1536 Kbps (1.5 MBPS) , and the same goes for each and every movie whose Audio is encoded with DTS HD-MA. (I mean they all have DTS 1.5 Mbps core in them + additional data which makes them lossless) ,so their Bit Rates under no circumstances can be lower than that. Lossy Tracks however are a different story and they can be anything AC3 448 Kbps , 640 Kbps , DTS 768 Kbps etc , but the disk will still include a lossless track.
