Is volume difference a valid comparison criterion? Can't you adjust the master volume for each DVD to present them at the same volume?

Just because one audio track is recorded at ONE volume which is different than the other is a mastering issue and doesn't have any bearing on what the format is doing with the sound material it has encoded.

In other words, if Gladiator dts audio was 6db LOUDER than the DD audio, then turning the DD audio UP 6db should make for a more accurate comparison as you can focus more on the dynamics of the audio format itself and not be distracted by volume levels.

I was writing MY book at the time you were writing your message, so I had no idea you even mentioned volume levels until now...

Peace.....
