In case you are unfamiliar with Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus, both surroundsound audio codecs were developed for high-definition programming and media. Dolby TrueHD is supposed to be 100% lossless with an 18Mbps bit rate and will likely be featured on higher-end receiverswhile Dolby Digital Plus will support a compressed codec and up to a 6Mbps data rate. Either way, the new WindDVD HD software will be able to support both codecs. “InterVideo WinDVD has alwaysbeen the leading DVD player in the industry. Now, with Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus, WinDVD HD promises users an even better audio experience with next-generation, high-definition media,” saidSteve Ro, CEO of InterVideo. “InterVideo appreciates Dolby’s efforts in developing high-definition audio technology so together, we can deliver a better audio experience to all our users.”
