Any news about new DD/DTS upgrade on HDDVD?

Yeah...no. Problem there is that processing the DD/DTS "internally" in a DVD player NEVER sounds as good! Always has sounded flater, more 2 dimmensional, and less refined. Probably has to do with the quality of processors, the analog output stage/buffering, etc on the players analog out's. The WAY BETTER SOUNDING route has alway been digital connection from the DVD player to an outboard "pre/pro"! yeah, I'll not be doing the other way any time soon.

It depends on the quality of the player and the processor as to which one is best at decoding the signal.

Actually analog outputs wont work. The internal ability to decode Hi Rez multi channel audio is clearly not present in any of the introduced soon to be introduced players.

This has been discussed in detail within the past two weeks.

Essentially, because HDMI 1.3 doesnt exist anywhere yet on devices there are major compatibility issues at eaxch step- DVD player, Receiver, and display.

Rysa is correct...I bought a Toshiba hd dvd player...and the audio via coax or analog is down 8-10 db and sounds very undynamic with weak bass.
SD DVD sounds far better...and the only way to get good audio from the Toshiba...is via an hdmi receiver/pre/pro.

Also...your processor or receiver will read this DD+ as DTS audio , which is not even on the disc.

What a mess...because if I were to run out and buy an hdmi reciever...it would be outdated in a few months buy hdmi 1.3.

Expect massive returns on these Toshiba players if theres not a fix quickly.

WHAT A BUNCH OF BONE HEADS!!!!!!!....lol. Amazing. Gread and more gread seems to be one of the root cause to a lot of this. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaatever. Yeah, I don't doubt you'll see the new players lag in sales greatly for the next couple of years.
