Re: Another red herring

Never implemented.
As you well know.
Plus 16 bit audio is far more fragile compared to 24 bits.
Finally, using 6.144 MB/sec for audio leaves around 3.7Mbits for the video, and that will be very dependant on programme length. Quality is unacceptable to Video heads. Go try encoding a video stream with full motion using those data rates and then come back & tell me it is acceptable, because all you will get at those bitrates is still encoded as MPEG-2. Anything under 4.5Mb/sec is going to be as blocky as the day is long.
The reason DVD-A did not go mass market was because the mass market did not get told about it. I remember buying my first DVD-A player to be told in the retail store that "I didn't need this, because the other player had dolby digital which was better."

Correctly authored DVD-A with a companion Video_TS IS the universal format everyone has been looking for. You get full motion video for those that want it, and high resolution audio for those who prefer that. Telling us surround fans to be happy with DD is like telling you video heads & vinyl heads to be happy with VHS & Compact cassette.

Let me put it this way: What do you think about HD video? Good or bad?
