I don't think finding a DTS-MA encoder is the hold-up on getting the lossless version out.  h_h just sounds extraordinarily busy right now.  That said, I'd love an updated ETA on the lossless mix if there's anything to report.

Perhaps it isn't a hold up for DTS-MA (I just assumed it was going to be quite hard to find without dishing out some major cash)... but I'd like a track judt DTS 5.1 either way, if it is possible.

BTW, I'm loving the FLAC audio track I muxed in! I feel like my ears are hearing lots of bits of detail that I didn't hear before.

Sorry to tack on another question too, but also was wondering... will you be using 24-bit audio any? DTS-MA would be nice with it... even a stereo mix FLAC with 24-bit would be nice too. I'm totally okay with what you put out though, don't get me wrong. I just love to get the best audio quality for Star Wars. And I will wait patiently for it; I understand you guys work out of your free time because of your passion for the movie. Thanks very much!

hairy_hen, I have a question... is it possible to get a 1536k (max bit rate) DTS encode of your 5.1 audio? I know you want to do DTS-MA (lossless) and I'm all for that too, but I figure finding an encoder for that may prove difficult (or at least not free). I'm quite confident that the DTS at 1536k will sound better (from my experience, potentially much better) then the DD at 640k, and is the maximum that most receivers are still compatible with. At least, I figure it can't hurt to have it as an option, even if the difference turns out to be in my head.

Thank you much for your hard work! I love your stereo mix and I just got the FLAC version of it... muxing it into my despecalized 2.0 mkv right now.
