Thanks for making the effort to share this, just a couple of questions:
1 - The 'clipping' on the low amplitude scenes - is this on all BD players or just the one you tried it on? Sounds like something that might vary from player to player (or even according to settings).
2 - Any particular reason why you opted to compress to AC3 rather than leave the track as PCM?
The clipping occurred both on the 2 PS3s (fat and slim) that I tried and ArcSoft Total Media Theatre 5 on my PC, so I think it must just be something inherent to Blu-ray. Can't imagine why, but the waveform itself in Audacity was so low that it was rendered as a flat line, so I suspect that was indicative of the issue.
As to compressing it, no real reason. Just an effort to keep as much video data as possible when I compressed the BDR to 25gb. I can easily reexport from Audacity to PCM again though, since I saved the project file.
I'll see about putting a PCM copy up on the Spleen.
*UPDATE*
OK it should (hopefully) be available on MySpleen now:

Let me know if there are any problems.
