Here's what the HD DVD audio update will include on May 15th:
- Fix DD being stuck in "Night Mode" which is essentially Dynamic Range
Compression leading to the sound sounding very flat
- Option to output ALL HD DVD audio as DTS 1.5Mbps (list includes DD+,
TrueHD, DTS, and any other audio option offered on HD DVD discs I may
have missed)
- Option to output ALL HD DVD audio as DD 640Kbps, (which it currently
does, but will be fixed from the Night Mode bug), list includes DD+,
TrueHD, DTS, and any other audio option offered on HD DVD discs that I
may have missed.
- Option to output ALL HD DVD audio as WMAPro (768Kbps I think), (list
includes DD+, TrueHD, DTS, and any other audio option offered on HD DVD
discs I may have missed) for those receivers that support WMA.
- Option to enable/disable Night Mode (with the default set to off)
- Fix a number of disc incompatibilities (including DVD Essentials) as
well as a number of Lip Sync issues.
This update is SEPARATE from the Spring Dashboard Update that came out
on May 7, 2007.
This was supposed to come out a long time ago, as the problem was
identified back in November when the HD DVD drive was launched. I hope
this clears the air as to what we're all waiting for.
