hi,

i was comparing the audio bit rate of a DVD-movie soundtrack (dolby digital) and an normal audio CD.

i found that the DVD-movie soundtrack plays at 448kbps whereas the audio CD plays at 1411 kbps.

I thought the DVD-audio was equivalent in quality when compared to an audio CD.

for the DVD-audio is it 448kbps per channel???

so out of the above two medias which one is superior in reality!!

or is the kbps thingy misleading???

A DVD-Audio disc is different from a DVD movie disc. In the movie dvds, the audio is either in Dolby Digital or DTS, of which DTS has a higher bitrate. A DVD-A disc, is encoded in MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing), and is much superior to dolby digital or DTS.
About DVD-A vs CD, well I haven't heard a DVD-A yet, so can't comment on that.

DVD-A can have one or multiple formats encoded on a single disc. A pure 2-channel stereo MLP recorded without compromising quality is theoretical better in terms of dynamics, transient attacks, tonal reproduction, etc. And if you were to compare equivalent quality DVD-A with a CD Player - the DVD-A sounds better.

And personally I liked SACDs better than DVD-A.

The audio track in movie DVDs falls way behind the Audio CD.

Very True.

As a 'Bird's eye View " look at it this way ....

In a DVD-A disc the entire capacity of the disc is dedicated to audio,

In a DVD Most of the disc's data capacity is kept aside for the Video, and crumbs kept aside for Compressed audio...

dont have any knowledge on this, but how is the quality of audio in the case of HD-DVD or blue-ray discs.

I am speaking about the movies since i dont see any HD/BD audio title.

Those would be much better than a CD, and maybe even better than DVD-A/ SACD. Here are the bitrates -

Dolby Digital Plus - 6mbps
DTS HD - 6mbps
Dolby TrueHD - 18mbps
DTS HD Master Audio - 25mbps
