Maybe there'll be a format war for movie soundtracks, if there isn't one 
already. If that's the case, I hope 2 formats will win:

Dolby TrueHD for multiple 24/96 channels audio of un-compressed audio 
nirvana.

DTS - for the better lossy compression soundtrack format. I know that 
there are high end DTS formats that are lossless, but it is much better 
known for its 5.1 lossy.
