Not necessarily, it depends on how the audio was encoded. DVD spec is
by no means limited to a single bitrate or a single sampling rate. For
basic stereo you can go as high as 192kHz and 9.6 megabits per second.
You can also mix and match different sampling rates and bit rates not
just on different tracks, but even on different speaker outputs.
That's not to say that those who are doing the "professional" encoding
of movie DVDs know what they're doing half the time and actually have
enough sense to ensure that the best possible quality of sound is
being reproduced, but just because they're lacking in technical
expertise doesn't mean it can't be done properly. Not just with the
audio either, but with the video as well. I've seen tons of movie
DVDs with video encoding that's just...absolute fucking shit
quality...as far as what the format is CAPABLE of delivering. It'll
likely be the same problem with Blu-Ray, most of what will be churned
out, especially at the start, likely WON'T be making maximum use of
the formats specs. Part of that is because the industry is a bunch of
n00bs as far as encoding in that format and it'll take them awhile to
really get good at it. The other aspect of course is the whole
"rerelease" scam, with "better quality!" and "uber enhanced sound!"
along with "awesome NEW out takes and behind the scenes footage!" That
sorta sthick.
