I'm planning to use filtering in a program to determine if a profile offers lossless audio.
I know that PCM, DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD are lossless, but what about Dolby Atmos?

Dolby Atmos can contain ether lossless or compressed audio: See here

To get the information you need to build this filter, you have to add the Atmos core track as an additional, separate track.

I was rather afraid that that might be the case.
Since I am filtering purely based on the information in the profiles, I guess I'm out of luck.

If TrueHD Atmos will be lossless.
If AC3 5.1 Atmos will be lossy.
All Atmos is is an extra track containing extended information (Height, distance etc).

So if TrueHD is lossless, If not, even with Atmos, treat it as lossy.

Yeah, I get that. Unfortunately I can't get that info from an existing profile, since it only shows Atmos.
