You nailed it, perfectly! But, remember, not a lot of people own sound systems. Most will just be listening from their TV's speakers, so the difference between lossless audio and lossy audio is really up to debate.Mountain wrote:The DVDs have Dolby Digital, which is lossy: a form of compression which discards data (.mp3 is another form of lossy).Drabaz wrote:What's lossless audio? And what about the Japanese audio? Is it different than what the blu-ray version has?
The Blu-rays have Dolby TrueHD (one of the new HD audio codecs, the other being DTS-HD MA), which is lossless: a form of compression, in which no necessary information is lost; it sounds about the same as the original audio source (uncompressed).
The Japanese 2.0 audio is lossless on the Blu-ray, lossy on the DVD.
Mind you, this is a rough explanation, but I don't have much time. I hope this helps! =P

Thanks, that does help! I hate that the DVD doesn't have that though because I just got a sound system hooked up. Oh well.Mountain wrote:The DVDs have Dolby Digital, which is lossy: a form of compression which discards data (.mp3 is another form of lossy).Drabaz wrote:What's lossless audio?

Re: Kai DVD or Blu-Ray?
Blu-ray.
To me, the HD-ness is half the point of Kai. (The other half being 25% Faster pace, 25% New Dub)
So... Blu-ray.
If you want Standard Def Dragon Ball, get the Dragon Boxes.

Re: Kai DVD or Blu-Ray?
The Blu Rays are also region free (So international users like me, can get them 
).
But yeah its HD and all that stuff, so I'll say go with Blu Ray.

They're Region A+B actually, so not totally region free.DarkGokuZ wrote:The Blu Rays are also region free
I've been getting the DVDs but I sort of want the Blu-rays now...
