'Santana: Hymns for Peace' – High-Def Digest Review

[Attebery]

Just posted Peter's review of 'Santana: Hymns for Peace.' He says this Blu-ray release is typical of live concert recordings, with a very vivid presentation and a couple of good supplements. The disc's Dolby Digital and DTS tracks are perfectly fine in their own right, but they just don't compare to the true high-resolution audio on similar releases. Still, this one is probably worth a look for Santana fans.

The "Tech Specs" sidebar in the review lists standard Dolby Digital at 1.5 Mbps (which is a bitrate beyond standard DD's maximum - which is limited to 640kbps). Yet in the review it lists a Dolby Digital Plus track at 1.5 Mbps which I have a hard time believing. Blu-ray only supports DD+ for extras channels beyond 5.1.

Hi there

Thanks for noticing, it was a typo on my part.

The disc is DD, not DD Plus. Though the bitrates are identical across both the Blu and HD DVD.

I updated the review,

Thanks again.

The side bar with info on it says its encoded with 1080p vc1 and the review says its 1080i. Which is it?
