DD+ at 1.5 seems to be the gold standard.

Bad move, nonrev, bad move....
You won't have to wait long before the "Give me Lossless or Death!" gang shows up.
Diogen.
And what does this have to do with this thread?
DD+ @ 1.5Mbps is neither uncompressed nor lossless.
Diogen.
DO you by any chance take lessons from Joe?
Except for maybe some obscure catalog titles, HD DVD used 1.5Mbps DD+ on over 80% of releases.
BTW, over 20% had a lossless track as well.
Before you start showing your prowess in math: both soundtracks can coexist on the same disc.
Diogen.
No.. No lessons from Joe, you are Vur BS. I HAVE BOTH FORMATS! I KNOW WHICH ONE SOUNDS BETTER TO ME!!:up
MORE FUD!!
:upAlso i am messing with Vurbano but at least he has both formats!! All these other guys that say one is better then the other and only have one format make me sick!

Transformers won best sound of ALL, for the entire year, for both formats.If you are happy with DD+1.5 (and Transformers won a soundtrack award using it) then be happy. You know, there were folks who loved their Edsel too!
You know I doubt you could find a post where I said one was "better" than the other. The VC-1 video is equal. TrueHD gives you an uncompressed PCM equivalent and in many movies DD+ is undistinguishable from the master. HD DVD is the cheaper, more efficient full featured format. Every player meets all specs. BD is an expensive crap shoot on that. Both are capable of giving you the same picture and same sound.MORE FUD!!

If you are talking about hardware wise, Its like comparing a Pioneer TV (Blu-ray) vs Vizio TV (HD-DVD).
More ***** from you vurbano, **** you got a PS3 and it has a good Blu-ray player, a video game system, and you think thats expensive? You are full of it.

Don't be sorry, its not your fault, just blame it on vurbano! J/k, but seriusly, no hardship here, we are all here to prove a point.
It probably depends on whos real world you're in. In my real world, my own ears are getting lossier with age (ugh!) I've got a decent enough 5.1 audio setup, except my .1 part kind of of blew itself up on the cannon shots in Pirates of the Caribbean. Gotta replace that soon.
I usually watch movies after the rest of the family has gone to bed anyway. So I mostly listen through Sony MDR-7506's. Very nice headphones BTW, but not able to do all the newest audio magic surround stuff with only two drivers.
So for me, the higher quality lossy audio standards are just fine.
And..?
I have both as well. Now what?
Good for you.
Just don't shove sh!t you have no clue about, like DD+ 640 on most HD DVD...
Diogen.
EAC3 (DD+) on HD DVD can be up to 3Mbps and is mandatory.
I've not seen HD DVD movies with 640kbps DD+ soundtrack (1536kbps is the norm).
CD audio is uncompressed 1411.2kbps: 44100 (sampling frequency) X 2 (stereo) X 16 (bits).
Simple rule of thumb for stereo sound compression: the bitrate can be cut in half for mathematically
loosless compression; and in half one more time for perceptually lossless.
