It's a moot point anyway as I will never watch Transformers ever again.

Well that may be all well and good for you, but personal views aside I think this is pretty bad QC for a major studio. The same issue plagues Creep too.

Well at least it happened to the worst comic book/action movie franchise in the last decade.

In a step BACKWARDS, Disney has given Bambi a lossy track.

Yep. One of the "leaders and pioneers" is going backwards. I hope it isnt the beginning of a trend.

Hey Tech-UK & HD Goofnut
The US versions of Queen Rock Montreal & Live Aid & Yes: Live at Montreux 2003 are both DTS-HD High Resolution 5.1 lossy.

These are the only two Blu-rays that I own without lossless audio.

I know that DTS-HD HR tracks are maybe technically lossy, but I mean...you're not going to be able to tell me they sound any different from DTS-HD MA tracks. The Queen track has a higher bitrate than a lot of lossless tracks for instance and sounds amazing. Seems odd to include these tracks.

I understand what you're saying, but the name of this forum is "List of Lossy Audio Blu-ray Titles".

The two I listed are lossy. That doesn't mean they don't sound good, I really enjoy both of them quite a lot. That's the reason I have them in my collection, but technically, they are lossy.

edit: Maybe someone could create a third category list for High Resolution Audio?

I understand what you're saying, but DTS-HD HR is still a lossy audio format.

I didn't vote in the poll because my answer is yes and no. If it is a favorite movie like Goodfellas I will buy it, if it is something like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation I can wait for possible release with lossless audio or when it is $5.

Can get a list of lossy BDs here:

I never said it was not. The 1.5kbps bitrate listed in this thread is incorrect though and that is what I was talking about...

That is true, but their list is not entirely accurate while mine is.

I see what you mean, but I didn't post those rates Tech did. You'll have to contact him if you want those numbers updated. My list is on page 5 on this thread.
