Re: need to know if this is lossy as my torrent was banned at dime

^this last one is minidisc, which is an exception to the 'no lossy' policy...

ac3 is difficult to spot, main indication is the abrupt cutoff at 20kHz which can be seen in your shots... of course there's more going on below that line, but as james said its one of the better lossy codecs.

we don't allow ac3 rips here, either, & there's too much ac3 on DVDs to ban it outright in both the audo and video section. the audio should just stay with the video in our opinion!

so anyhow, this isn't a case of dime being overly strict (as some people have said they can be..), we would approach it the exact same way at this site.
