It seems that the (long awaited) Pink Floyd video PULSE has a Dolby digital track with 640 kbs bit rate. (I do not have the discs myself yet).
I first put it aside as a mistake, as DVD specs allow 448 as maximum bit rate for Dolby Digital on DVD-Video.
The info most sources use (from SonyBMG?) about the audio is:
- Stereo track
- Dolby Digital 5.1 - 448 kbps
- Dolby Digital 5.1 - 640 kbps
And no DTS-track
It is known that the DD encoding standard does support 640 as maximum bit rate, but if this works on DVD-V why has nobody done it before
However, to make confusion worse, Australian sellers mention DTS and DD 5.1, which seems very odd as it is a region 0 release and the European (PAL) and North American (NTSC) don't mention DTS on the cover.

At least the first comments about the surround mix, especially about the second part (DSotM), indicate more use of surround than your standard concert/audience mix.
