The Columbia Pictures catalog title "Groundhog Day" was released on Blu-ray yesterday with a soundtrack codec of Dolby TrueHD 5.1 for the English, French & Portuguese language tracks.  (We just have the choice "Dolby Digital TrueHD" and it shows 7.1 tracks on the grid when chosen.)

The English commentary track for the film is Dolby Digital Stereo.

What is notable to me is that the Picture-in-Picture Track, which is among the special-features on the disc, happens to have Dolby audio competition's  DTS-HD LBR codec, verifed with my Blu-ray player, and it's used for the "Secondary Audio" track that's combined with the Secondary Video's Picture-in-Picture track.

FYI:
DTS-HD LBR is not on DVD Profilers codec list.
In doing a search,  I found that 'DTS-HD LBR' is "a special configuration of DTS-HD in which there is no encoded audio data in the core substream and only Low Bit-Rate Extensions (LBR) in the extension sub-stream, allowing an effective delivery of high quality audio at extremely low data rates."

This should not be confused with DTS-HD HR, which is a choice already on the list.

The primary Video used on this disc is 'MPEG-4 AVC' and the secondary Video used for the "Picture-in-Picture" feature is '1MPEG-4 AVC'.  I do not know what the "1" in front of "MPEG-4 AVC" is supposed to mean, if anything.

We also need PCM Mono and DTS Stereo. Not widely used it seems, but I have a few titles (one Blu-ray) that use those.

I fully agree with this request. I have lots of commentary tracks in DTS Stereo.

really "dts Stereo" and not "dts 2.0"? Because it's not the same.
"dts Stereo" is technically the same as "Dolby Surround" (or "Chace Surround"). A matrixed LCRS-Audio material. So it's the same problem to indentify "dts Stereo" as it is with "Dolby Suround".

No, please don't add more mono, stereo etc. Make the track selection flexible enough to handle all HD formats from 1.0 to 7.1 instead.

Ken, we desperately need and audio channel column we now have Dobly TrueHD mono! for "Being There", besides 7.1 for some others. I recommend Dolby Mono for 1.0 and 2.0 and just Dolby for 2.0 stereo, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1  and so on using a click box for the channels., think that would solve all the problems. Of course that goes for PCM and DTS too. Thanks, Tom

If I remember it correctly, Ken mentioned something during the last Beta, that he is thinking to switch back to the format used in Profiler 2 in a future version. That would mean an additional channels field like in ninehours' sceenshot.

I like the look of that, it means we can finally add both 1.0 and 2.0 Mono sound.

But there is no such thing as Dolby Digital True HD, it's simply Dolby TrueHD.

That does look good and much more flexible. But shouldn't it be 1.0 to show there's no subwoofer?

That's exactly what I meant, think that works for everything out there. Now just the commentary dropdown if it could list the languages the commentary is in.

Instead of that, couldn't it be like the screenshot but have a tick box if that track is a commentary?

Probably best putting commentary in the format box, this way you have the content of which language and how many audio tracks
