One question though: is 448kbp/s the final version, or will there be an higher quality edition for projects such as the V3 Blu? Would love a non-DVD compressed 5.1 track! I ask this because the 97 mix had always sounded better to me as I remembered it theatrically and the 384 kbp/s LD 5.1 wasn't anything as impressive as I remembered. I go the Pro Logic route when I occasionally run the SE LDs.
I have the lossless wav files that were used to make the 5.1 mixes, and I used them to encode DTS-HD MA 5.1 files from this, although some think there is no difference, I myself like the DTS-HD MA files better, I am sure I am not using the right term LOL, but it seems more balanced, it is not so darn LOUD, that was my only complaint on the 5.1 mixes.
Plus it is also very cool to watch the OT Blu-ray and see DTS-HD MSTR on my Yamaha Receiver LOL.
