Frank Zappa: Over-nite Sensation is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Universal Music Group with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.78:1. The disc boots to the main menu seen in screenshot 10, but as soon as either a track or the Play button is clicked, there's an amusing "tour" through the memorable original album cover, including various elements that have animated properties.The Blu-ray disc advertises Dolby Atmos 48/24, Dolby TrueHD 5.1 48/24, Quadrophonic 96/24 and PCM Stereo (both 96/24 and 192/24) options, but rather interestingly while all my equipment is showing the "proper" kilohertz for each track, the Quadrophonic track shows as Dolby TrueHD 5.1 on both my player and BDInfo. While my player properly showed a Dolby TrueHD 7.1 core for the Atmos track, for some weird reason BDInfo showed a 5.1 core for that track. I'll leave it to those interested in these discrepancies to hash it out amongst themselves and will simply report what I hear, and in that regard both the Atmos and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 48/24 options are amazingly immersive and impressively powerful in the midrange and low end.
