Not every disc has LPCM audio. So far, only the Sony titles do, and the
enormous amount of disc space that it takes up is one of the reasons for
their subpar picture quality.

The Lions Gate Blu-ray discs do not use LPCM, and are said to be a bit
better looking (though still not up to the quality of an average HD
DVD).
