In Reply to: Update on update - DTS confirmed for LOTR. posted by chris.redmond2@bushinternet.com on July 25, 2002 at 13:17:33:
I believe Bill Hunt of thedigitalbits.com announced the DTS track was a go in late May/early June.As for the soundtrack listing, tt has to be Dolby Digital 5.1 EX, not 6.1 (the DD codec is not capable of 6 discrete channels and a sub/LFE channel). Once again, they're just adding to the confusion.
Follow Ups:
Thanks for the link and explanations.I`d read in a home Entertainment mag that the DTS 6.1 spec added the rear centre speaker at the expense of resolution to the left and right rears, so I wasn`t really bothered if the DTS sound-track was 5.1 or 6.1 to be honest. What does bother me however is that some DVD`s with the DTS spec aren`t `full` DTS but some lower resolution which although apparently still better than DD isn`t as good as it should be.
Taken as an example, the Malaysian DVD9 LOTR has the three hour movie with both DTS and DD sound-tracks (along with whatever extras).
In general, should I be suspicious of any single DVD which offers both sound-tracks - can one disc comfortably hold all this information or are compromises made?
Best Regards,
Chris Redmond.
See the links for bitrate info. Regardless, there's still more info than Dolby Digital. You'll find info on the different DTS versions and where they're implemented if you go to...http://www.dtsonline.com/consumer/index.shtml
