[QUOTE="takisot, post: 106630, member: 12"] All HD DVD titles released so far support the new Dolby Digital Plus (DD+) format. I had the opportunity to attend a private meeting with Dolby at CEDIA last year to discuss this format. DD+ soundtracks have too much bandwidth for the standard digital outputs of DVD players, but they can be converted to a standard 640 kbps DD bitstream when using these older connections. While this is a loss compared to the overall potential of the DD+ soundtrack, it is still better than any pre-recorded medium yet in terms of DD resolution. [LEFT]Standard DVDs are typically 448 kbps, and D-Theater is 540 kbps. Unfortunately the Toshiba does not support the down sampling conversion that was discussed at CEDIA. Instead, the DD+ soundtrack is decoded to PCM and then re-encoded to DTS at 1.5 Mbps for output. Rumor has it this was done for cost reasons, but I have not gotten firm confirmation on this. It is also speculated that a firmware update could solve this issue and allow for the high bit rate DD information without conversion to DTS. If this happens, we will be sure to report on it after we've tested the firmware and verified.
