Poll: What flavor do you like your primary soundtracks to be in on BD50? - Blu-ray Forum

EDIT: You can vote for multiple times but please vote carefully!

Recently paidgeek, a poster who's a tech guy at Sony Pictures Entertainment, was wondering how BD users like their audio. S/He wants to have a clear case to present to her/his bosses so that they know, and hopefully give, what their customers are asking for.

By primary soundtracks I mean the original language audio for the film. For example Kungfu Hustle should be Cantonese (really is a mix Chinese dialects), Crouching Tiger is Mandarin, Y Tu Mama Tambien is Spanish, Apolyptico is Mayan, and Spanglish is Spanglish.

Secondary soundtracks means dubbed soundtracks. Tertiary means either music only, music + sound FX, and commentaries.

Also after you vote, please specify your equipment if you have one so that the rationale for your vote can be seen. Please also comment what should the primary soundtracks should be if the disc is a BD25.

LPCM - Original bit- and sampling rate (24/48) 5.1-7.1
DTS HDMA - Original bit- and sampling rate (24/48) 5.1-7.1
TrueHD - Original bit- and sampling rate (24/48) 5.1-7.1

-> All the way

as of now, don't have an hdmi receiver. however, the lossy high bit rate core can be played over optical for me, so i make do. i have heard lpcm and it is fantastic, so i'll take that no problem.

I am also using analog from the Panasonic so LPCM until they can decode the DTS MA.

Primary use LPCM - Original bit- and sampling rate (24/48) 5.1-7.1
Secondary use DTS HDMA - Original bit- and sampling rate (24/48) 5.1-7.1
But use these ONLY for the ORIGINAL/PRIMARY soundtrack, use crappy dd5.1 (lowest quality possible) for everything else DD2.0 for commentarys.

But for MusicBD:s (concerts and musicvideos) use 2.1 LPCM on all, and uncompressed/Lossless (LPCM/DTS-HD MA) 5.1 192/24 before 7.1 96/24.
