Re: What the hell does that have to do with ReBit?

This is what: ReBit affects "bit depth". And the article refers to "word size" -- i.e. "bit depth" -- as a factor affecting compressability. Now you can do that within MLP, or you can do it elswhere in the production chain. Adding an optional function to MLP doesn't make it bad. It merely makes it more 'flexible'.

>> Gentle" prefiltering? So what? ReBit *IS* LOSSY. Prove otherwise <<

You are saying rebit is lossy. But I am saying MLP -- sans ReBit -- is lossless. I think we agree on both scores.


And you do puzzle me with this loaded statement:-

>> LPF had to happen in order to make MLP more efficient.<<

But who in the industry, with practical knowledge of DVDA, has ever proclaimed that MLP is "inefficient"?

Anyway, we now know that these sorts of tricks do apply to SACD, i.e. in order to extend a full six-channel program to more than 65 mins, reducing the dynamics allows the DST compressed file to still fit into the available disc space of a hybrid SACD. That's not rocket science.
