DVD-Audio and SA-CD are media format specifications. DD Lossless is a compression algorithm that can be used in more areas than just optical disc formats. You need to stop portraying things such that DVD-Audio == Dolby Lossless.

I am playing with the semantics. I thought that was obvious. I am aware that DVD-Audio is a format specification that uses MLP.

Obviously, it would be silly not to improve upon the DVD-Audio specification with Bluray. Given that Dolby Digital Lossless for Bluray will have limitations based on the Bluray Format (probably 8 channels), it is simply a play on words to call Dolby Digital lossless on Bluray as DVD-Audio 2 (similar to SACD-2). In any case I do understand all the diffences, as those are 'the basics'. I was not aware how the slideshow was handled.

I was looking more for a reply as to what you would like to see as your ideal surround format, given the likely limitations of 8 channels on Bluray (for both DD and DTS).
