Where does it say hirez or DVD-Audio. This is a DVD-Video disk and the DTS 24/96 moniker has been around for some time. DTS 2496 is a lossy codec that uses 24/96 source material and compresses it into the standard DTS core (plus a small 2496 extension that allows for a total of 1.5mps). In 5.1 (6 channels) that means an average of about 256k MP3-like (not bad, but not even redbook quality, let alone HiRez)quality per channel. I wouldn't call out this dis per se, I would call out DTS's use of the "2496" as anything but lossy. This has been discussed quite a bit on these forums.
Follow Ups:
The 2496 is write on the notes on the back of the disk.
So what it actually means is they've down converted from 2496 using a lossy format!?
How lame is that. It says that both the Dolby Digital and DTS are in that format.
Oh well....
Can't fool those of us who like to play with FFT analysers.
So essentially
They are wasting space on the disk so they can store redundant versions of the same music, by competing surround sound standards!!!
Way to go F*^%heads.
Who makes these decisions and can we drop them on an island somewhere?
"They are wasting space on the disk so they can store redundant versions of the same music, by competing surround sound standards!!!"
Something that may be necessary when selling coasters in meat space, otherwise inventory costs may become excessive. This problem doesn't exist with digital downloads, where the user selects his format before the download and multiple format conversions are made before loading the server or on the fly as downloads are requested. Of course it would be better if there weren't multiple competing standards, however if you've done hard time on standards committees you would understand the complexity of the situation and the forces controlling the participants.
