or still clinging to the near-obsolete Dolby-TrueHD like the other two? I tried searching my two main sources for this info but neither seemed to have it, so if anyone has the scoop..?

They have an affinity with VC-1 too, though this is actually MPEG-4 for those who want to know (which is a good thing, better image/sound quality in a smaller file, so the same size MPEG-4 file as a VC-1 = better quality).

It is actually DTS-MA by the way.

Indeed... I believe it's "DTS-HDMA" even, but that's just a pain to type! I figured you'd all know what I meant :p

As for the original question: It does look like this 3rd instalment has that DTS thing after all. I bought the BR trilogy set and there it's clearly listed as such even if the previous two films still don't feature it.

Why do people even care that it's Master Audio instead of TrueHD? Lossless is lossless. I suppose one could make an argument for MA's lossy Core being better than Dolby's companion track, but even that is open to debate and if you're arguing about lossy on an HD format...

As for VC-1, it's still capable of producing very good results. Warner's problem is that they pre-filtered a lot of their titles to allow for greater compression in order that they could use BD25s instead of BD50s.

I think they used VC-1 extensively because they had a deal with Microsoft (who created the format, it's a modified version of WMV after all) for a while. It's not a bad codec, it's just controlled by one company (Microsoft) rather than a group (like MPEG-4) and you need a higher bit-rate and thus resulting file to achieve the same level of quality that an AVCHD/MPEG-4/H.264 file gets. I'm glad they went for MPEG-4 for this release though, this movie demands the best possible quality available which right now is MPEG-4. I've noticed a few other Warner releases using MPEG-4 too here and there. Some of the Kubrick Collection use it, the rest use VC-1 for example.

Uncle DJ says:

I got you. So you changed it on the remote from 5.1 to 2ch? I never heard any crackling on a film before I upgraded to surround sound, but it was strange for you, though changing the settings fixed the issue, so all good...
