But there was never any "cat in the bag" in the first place, so to speak. It was just that muppets like you (and Guthrie) simply didn't understand (or overlooked) the most basic principles and physics of lossless compression in relation to input signal entropy. MLP was designed with that in mind, so as to afford the required headroom to losslessly compress six channels of 24-bit/96kHz music to EASILY fit into to 9.6Mbps of the DVD’s databus.

The reason Guthrie’s comments were so surprising, was that somebody of his supposed calibre would make the mistake of completely mis-interpreting something which, in reality, is a total non-issue.

Moreover, the technical papers explained all that ages ago, and it seems that neither of you actually assimilated those papers when they were published. These papers naturally made it clear as to what the factors are which actually affect filesize — and hence the amount of capacity which a file will take up on the disc. And none of that is any "cat in a bag" — as you are trying to imply. In fact, the only thing covered in a bag, it appears, was your own head — and for a very long time. Furthermore, that bag still seems to be firmly in place.
