between HD DVD and Blu-Ray?
j_garcia Audioholic Jedi Dec 21, 2007 #2 ZERO differece, they both support the same formats. It will come down to the specific movie though, in terms of what types of tracks are available and how good they are.

Alamar Full Audioholic Dec 21, 2007 #4 I don't know for sure but I would think that Blu-Ray titles would have a higher chance [because of more space available] to have a lossless audio track on the disc. The only thing is that the Blu-Ray people need to execute and effectively use the extra capacity well. -------------------------- EDIT: I would think that a lossless sound source would by definition be "better" than a lossy sound track. So if that Blu disc has a lossless track the odds are decent that it could sound better than the lossy one. For me though [I can't hear a mosquito fart at 10 meters] I doubt that I could tell much of a difference if the sound source [before compression] was the same.

j_garcia Audioholic Jedi Dec 21, 2007 #5 What your friend may be referring to is the fact that far more BDs contain a lossless track compared to very few HD DVDs. Size is likely to be the driving factor there. That doesn't mean HD DVD isn't capable of it.

patnshan Senior Audioholic Dec 22, 2007 #6 I think True HD and lossless sound the same, some would argue. I'd say that lossless SHOULD sound better, but it doesn't to me. But I think 320 kbs MP3's sound as good as CD's, so what do I know Pat
