Hairy_hen,

A follow-up question re the audio streams. Which is higher quality, the Digital Dolby (AC-3) bitstream or the "core" bitstream from the DTS-HD MA track? (The core stream is all I can ever get VLC to play from a DTS-HD MA track). I'm guessing the DTS-HD MA core is still better since it will still have almost three times the bitrate of DD 5.1 but wanted to ask you.

This is a tough question, due to the radically differing nature of the audio codecs and the way they store/process the sound. Both Dolby Digital and DTS are capable of delivering excellent results when used at their maximum bitrates (640 kbps and 1509 kbps respectively), so any demonstrable difference between them is going to be quite minimal. Go with whichever one works best for the format you're watching in, and don't worry about it.

Got it. Thanks for all your hard work on the audio. Has there been any thought of releasing some tracks as LPCM or would the file sizes be too large?
