I was rather disappointed to see this in doom9's news, since these are all proprietary, highly patented formats = high licensing fees and discouragement of open-source libraries (anyone notice that DTS inc. has at least temporarily stopped the distribution of libdts).

The DVD forum is really acting incompetent in this matter - SACD and DVD-Audio have proven that proprietary formats + high DRM are a bad combination for the success of a new format.
