Blu-ray Disc may really be moving into high-resolution multi-channel territory. Remarkably it's an (anime) movie, not a music title, that gets 5.1-channel 24-bit 192-kHz Dolby True HD audio: Akira
See http://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/20090218/bandai.htm
Great to see that not just the video will be high-definition. |

There's a great review of the Akira BD (as well as Ghost in the Shell 2) on The Digital Bits.
| Quote: | | For home theatre enthusiasts, Akira on Blu-ray brings another true revelation to the table in the form of its soundtrack. For the first time ever, a digital movie soundtrack can be said to equal the very best the original master tapes have to offer. Recorded at an astounding 192khz/24-bit audio resolution - which is 4 times the sampling rate of a typical Blu-ray Disc - Akira's new Japanese TrueHD 5.1 audio takes up an astounding 12mbps of the BD's data rate all by itself! (For the record, that's almost as much as the video on Warner's Batman Begins Blu-ray). Without a doubt, this is THE audio Blu-ray demo disc for the foreseeable future. So for all those of you that received new speakers for Christmas... your holy grail BD has arrived. The English dubbed track was only created at 48Khz/16-bit, and retains that resolution in its own lossless TrueHD 5.1 presentation. Finally, the original Japanese theatrical mix is presented in LPCM, encoded as Dolby Surround. |
Reportedly, the picture quality is excellent too:

| There's a new Steelbook Edition of the remastered Akira Blu-ray Disc, out in the UK. |
