Which DVD website is the best source of technical data?

Many times when I am looking for technical data on various discs, (i.e. Aspect Ratio, Sound Format, etc.) different websites list different into. Sometimes I use www.dvdempire.com, but I have noticed lots of errors in their data. Does anyone know of a really good site that can be trusted and accurate?

I like widescreenreview, but I don't want to pay for it.

I'm generally looking for:

Aspect Ratio
Anamorphic Y/N
Sound Formats
DVD Relaese Date
Subtitles

Tougher to find, but would be nice:

Audio Bit Rates
Video Bit Rates

Although the selection of movies is more limited that other sites, DVD Beaver gets pretty technical with their information.

I've found that amazon.com is usually the best.
Edit: for everything but audio.

Is this a joke or are you seeing something that I'm not? They don't have aspect ratios, audio tracks, subtitles...

This may be an overstatement, but they do list everything you're looking for. Under Product Details it says "Click here for more technical details about this edition..." and it lists the details you're looking for. I'm not sure how it compares to DVDEmpire.com though.

And I've been looking for a place to find what the film was originally shot in. As far as I know, Widescreen Review is the ONLY place that lists this stuff conveniently. I wish they would put that info in those Leonard Maltin film books they put out each year.... just nice info to have for the perfectionist in me...
