Notes: the back incorrectly states the aspect ratio as being 1.78:1, and that the audio is available as English 2.0 Stereo and English 5.1 DTS, all of which is false.
In double pack with Equilibrium and couldn't be more bare bones if they tried.
Worth noting that this is the Blu-Ray only double pack. There seems to be a DVD+Blu-Ray pack as well that people seem to be very confused about the audio options in their reviews.

Worth noting that this is the Blu-Ray only double pack. There seems to be a DVD+Blu-Ray pack as well that people seem to be very confused about the audio options in their reviews.

Echo are renowned for releasing the same film on the format multiple times with different audio options. A real pain in the arse.

It could well be that this is also the case here.

Definitely had a release with lossless audio from Echo Bridge.

I know they are and I don't put anything past them, but the reviews I was referencing were all over the place, with some people even saying that the disc has what is listed on the back, and arguing with others - this is on Amazon and other sites, not on here.

I found this in a clearance bin and it's the only reason I picked it up (plus to replace my Equilibrium DVD). The bitrate is down right pathetic on both movies; the BD spec you pasted above for your copy of Renaissance shows the actual movie is file is around 13GB on your disc, and on this combo disc I have here, the movie is only about 9GB. There is definitely no DTS-HD MA or TrueHD on the one I have, as I even went in and checked the streams manually.
After all is said and done though, I bet the video portion of your disc is the same bit rate as this one, and the extra DTS-HD MA tracks are the reasons for the increased size.

Worth noting that I put a correction for the Equilibrium combo portion here: http://www.dvdcompare.net/forums/phpbb3 ... 54&t=35890
Even that shows the same information as what I have (already in the database), which I don't understand why Renaissance from that was not already in the database if it is mentioned on that entry already as being in a combo with this?

Either way, thanks for pasting that log.

Got to love Echo Bridge
