    Vudu does indeed have the ability to hande Dolby Digital Plus. But it converts it to DD5.1.

      Which one? the one for $399 or $999.00

        Either - your choice.

          There is a pretty good summary of what audio formats can be sent over what link types here-

          http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/sh...Explained/1064

          Note these entries-

          HDMI - If the player does not support TrueHD, it will revert to the standard Dolby Digital track. Some players may decode the TrueHD to PCM and transmit it over any version of HDMI. Other players will instead transmit the TrueHD bitstream to a receiver for decoding (HDMI 1.3 required).

          This would probably be the best path for the existing Vudu hardware to get to these codecs. . .

          The HDMI 1.3 chips do have different hardware for dealing with the deeper video. There is more than just bandwidth at play here. NDA's keep me from cutting an pasting the relevant bits- sorry!

            Re: VUDU EXPANDS HIGH DEFINITION CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH ON-DEMAND SERVICE

            Here is my understanding of the various interconnects and their capabilities.

            Toslink/SPDIF can output a 2 channel PCM bitstream or can output DD5.1. It can also handle DTS, and the 6.1 and 7.1 variants on DD and DTS. Even if it could physically handle a higher bandwidth stream that is the limit of what every receiver on the market is designed for. FYI the 6.1 DD-EX format is a DD 5.1 with matrixed surround channels (the receiver will do a Prologic like transform to extract the back channel)

            HDMI 1.1 Can output all of the Toslink/SPDIF channels and also has the ability to output multichannel PCM. Multichannel PCM is what you get from decoded DD+ or decoded TrueHD. HDMI 1.1 can't output the raw bitstreams for DD+ or TrueHD

            HDMI 1.3 can output DD+ and TrueHD bitstreams and can also handle Deep Color for video.

            I can't figure out from the chipset description whether the Broadcom chip can output multichannel PCM over HDMI. Using a DD+ source this would be a slight improvement in quality over simply transcoding to DD.
