something to check

If any of your Blu-ray concerts are Dolby TrueHD, check to see if they are using Dialog Normalization. If they are, they're not lossless once decoded. There is a software program that can disable Dialog Normalization, but I don't remember the name. With consumer electronics, you're screwed because Dolby prohibits DN adjustments in their license.

DTS-HD Master Audio requires a bit more processing power to decode. That's why early Blu-ray players, older receivers and some software players can't or have trouble decoding it.

Thankfully DTS-HD Master Audio will become the audio codec for Blu-ray, both for movies and concerts. One encode for lossless and lossy and the encoder defaults to lossless (unlike Dolby's encoder). The studios are phasing Dolby TrueHD encodes out re: Blu-ray. Right now > 50% of all Blu-ray is DTS-HD Master Audio. You can check out the stats
