I can also imagine some studios might try to use the already-created AC3 for DVD as the legacy stream just to save the minutes of time required to re-encode it... Even though the Dolby encoder will do both THD and the legacy at the same time (or at least in the same queue).

They wouldn't go above 448 for DVD, so I guess that can be a problem with older titles. Hopefully even that practice (if it existed) is being phased out...
