Warner Bros -- "because sound matters": what a load of crap, because sound quality sure as hell doesn't matter to them.

Here are examples of what "matters" to them:

WB on DVD-A: uses audio watermarking in the analog domain to poison the medium.

WB on DVD-V: uses 384kb/s or 448kb/s Dolby Digital and adds in dialog normalization to provide a compromised/handicapped audio presentation for the video.

WB on Blu-ray: uses 640kb/s Dolby Digital instead of DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD or LPCM (which would cost them $0 because LPCM is FREE) on a 50GB disc having an available audio bandwidth of >24Mb/s.
