Hi Chaps,
I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to explain the difference in bitrate between the lower res HD sound formats (DD Plus) and a good DTS soundtrack for instance?
I am annoyed to see so many HD DVD disks with 'only' a DD Plus soundtrack. With a 42" Fuji Plasma the increased screen res is nice but not noticeably better than Sky HD but the sound on an uncompressed source IS a lot better and I am more inclined to buy into a format when the sound is as good as the PQ.

EDIT: I also forgot to ask whether there is any difference between PCM 7.1 and DD HD or DTS HD? ...and more importantly do all work via analogue connections? So many sound formats now, my poor brain
