[ProAudio] [ProAud] The High-Resolution Challenge

[Corey Bailey Audio Engineering]

For all of those who watch Blu Ray discs:

Know that the vast majority of major studios who (re)released their 
existing catalogue of older movies, simply repurposed the existing audio 
from their previous NTSC releases (16/48). In some cases, they up-scaled 
the video as well. Obviously, this does not apply to movies released in 
the digital domain of which the audio tracks were most likely 24/48.

Been there, done that.
