As previously reported (see Blu-ray.com, August 11), the eagerly-awaited Grindhouse: 2-Disc Collector's Edition - featuring the full "Grindhouse experience" directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino - is due out on Blu-ray on October 5. Technical specifications hadn't been officially listed, but a member of the Blu-ray.com forum has already got a copy and informed that it only contains a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 track, at a bitrate of 448 kbps.

Forum member "Tech-UK" has confirmed that he also checked the disc itself "to be 100% sure to help people on this forum."
It must be noted that, when the Grindhouse movies (Death Proof and Planet Terror) were released separately by The Weinstein Company in late 2008, both featured lossless audio tracks.
The Weinstein library was purchased by Vivendi Entertainment a year ago (see Blu-ray.com, September 14, 2009). Since then, Vivendi has been somewhat inconsistent with regard to lossless audio usage: DOA: Dead or Alive and Fist of Legend didn't have it, while Fanboys and Outlander did.
Thanks to forum member "Tech-UK."
