I have to agree with Jason on this.  Sound is as important as image, 
especially if there is non-electronic background music.  Pirates Of The 
Carribean?  Nothing less than 192kbit/s.  I simply cannot stand a movie which 
sounds like it's being played through speakers installed in an old oil can.  
And, sorry, say what you like but 96kbit/s (even ogg at that rate) sounds 
disgusting.

Either you are using onboard sound (there isn't such a thing as good onboard 
sound), or you just don't care about sound.

Different strokes for different folks...
