In Reply to: DTS bitrate on Queen DVD-A’s? posted by LarsB on April 27, 2003 at 13:05:45:
It's around 1.5Mb/s (or about 1500kb/s) -- not 3Mb/s (3000kb/s). It is the same bitrate as full bitrate 5.1 DTS. When the DTS 24/96 recording is made, it's encoded so that non-DTS 24/96 capable decoders can handle the signal. What a regular DTS decoder sees is around 1200kb/s (1.2Mb/s). The part of the DTS stream that the regular decoder can't see is a bit more than 300kb/s. It's in this part of the stream that a DTS 24/96 capable decoder gets the information from 24kHz to 48kHz. The regular decoder only sees the information up to 24kHz. Unfortunately, this (by "this", I mean the lower than 1.5Mb/s bitrate for non-DTS 24/96 decoders -- about 1.2Mb/s) is an aspect of DTS 24/96 that is necessary for decoding compatibility with regular DTS decoders.
