yes la.. 1 BD 0 Hd-dvd!!!

and for those to bragged about lossless PCM or trueHD tracks:

Best Audio Quality: Transformers (HD DVD), Paramount Home Entertainment

the irony

wahhh again that was so impressed me...
my 2nd question : did u bought Transformers?

good job ED, best jugak gaduh2 ni

LOL!!! "Transformers" winning the audio award is not about the audio format, or the disc format for that matter. It's more because of the movie itself. The movie contains a lot of action, with unique, electronic sounds that is out of this world (pun intended ). I bet all my BDs that "Transformers" will be a sure winner no matter what disc format it's on (for this year's awards, at least).

Even without lossless audio, the Dolby Digital Plus track was encoded at 1.5 mbps, that's a lot of data per second already. When "Transformers' is released on BD, I can't even imagine how spectacular the audio will be, that we could have a Linear PCM lossless 6.9 mbps track.

And what really make me laugh is that they couldn't put lossless audio for the "Transformers" HD-DVD just because the ran out of space!! So, imagine the possibilities with BD!

just ignore that copy paste troll, even avsforums have moved on from those silly trolling. movies are meant to be enjoyed, trolls are meant to be trolls.

End-of-year bonus question, choose the ones that describes yourself best:

A. Fictitious, mythological creature, related to elves or dwarves.
B. A person who is deliberately inflammatory on the Internet in order to provoke a vehement response from other users
C. A slang term for gay men who wander about looking for sex or potential partners
D. Patent, a derogatory phrase describing an individual or company with a patent portfolio containing patents, which it never intended to commercialize

Please conclude what do all those have in common?
