Disney don't treat Europe with 24 bit uncompressed

I noted that I actually only have a title that is 4.6MBps (for audio) - sky high. The rest of the titles that I monitored (its bitrate) are higher than that.

Frankly, I think the best option is to tell dublovers to shove it, but I realize that the studios don't exactly see things that way

Recompressing the film would be replicating the most expensive part of disc production. They're not going to do it again just so there can be lossless

That's not good to hear. I can remember DVDtitles that got 448kbps Dolby tracks for the original audio and/or English DTS (on the rarely occasion Finding Nemo and Monsters inc got that), and lower bitrates for the dubbed Dolbytracks. Should be the same for Blu Ray. 24 for original audio, and 16 for dubbed audio.

I am glad the Netherlands don't dub that much and we get subtitles. The original track remains the best to listen to. Allthough it seems to be a trend to dub more and more over here.

I even starting to convince my girlfriend to watch movies without subs.
