Most of the DVD rips I've done make 24/48 files, although I seem to recall one making 16/48 files, can't find it though. You can verify this by loading the files in foobar and selecting Properties. They sound OK but there doesn't appear to be any noticeable difference from a CD. Yes, DD is lossy. Lossless are special "MLP" tracks and new formats, Dolby TrueHD and the new DTS HD format (DTD-HD MA? Not sure.) -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta), SBC (early beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta) Sold: SB3, Duet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61197 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
