Is there a reliable way (website, etc.) other than buying a Blu-ray disk to determine which audio track formats it has?

Amazon and other internet retailer's descriptions are generally incomplete or just plain vague in specifiying if a BR disk has;
DTS-HD, Dolby-TrueHD, DTS, DD, or PCM.

Thanks,

I'm guessing that there are better ones, but I often use bluray.highdefdigest.com when checking out blu-rays. I don't go straight there, though. I Google "[name of movie] blu-ray review", and it's often one of the first hits. I do the search because then it takes me straight to the page that I want.

I usually check a few sites. These two list all the audio options:
HighDefDigest - Scroll down on the far left for audio tracks.

HighDefDiscNews - Audio tracks are listed by the star ratings at top on review.

Yes, there is, and it's called Blu-ray Stats.
http://www.blu-raystats.com/Stats/Stats.php

It's a bit of a modem burner. Look at the filters on the top to narrow anything down.

I advised someone elsewhere to use this site, and even Chris Boylan agreed, and said that's a site that he's using all the time. Cheers.

The first place I always go is http://www.blu-ray.com/. Generally fast-loading site and has news and reviews in addition to the specs.

I use that one a lot too, great site. For those not familiar with it, check out the "Best Deals," you can sort BD's on Amazon by price, most popular, or biggest percentage off. I use it a lot to find good BD deals.

Edit: Forgot to mention, they have a really nice price history feature. If you put your mouse over the chart icon by the price, a chart with the last years price history will show up so you can see what kind of deals have been out for that movie.
