Can somebody remind me of the restrictions on outputting unencrypted PCM from decoded DD and DTS soundtracks on DVD? IIRC, there is a copy protection bit which, if set, means that the (lossy) soundtrack can't be output digitally.

If my memory isn't failing me laugh , is this bit normally set? The implication being that MHR was also needed for transfer of non-high-resolution decoded DD/DTS soundtracks.

I bring this up because, presumably, Hollywood would have probably had to give the DVD Forum the nod before MHR was mandated as an acceptable encryption protocol.
