Yes, both DTS and DD5.1 are on the same disc, so the comparison is begged

64.12.104.171

The Fantasia 2000 disc I have has BOTH FORMATS on it. On audio set up you can select which one you want. Dolby 5.1 is the default. If you select DTS, you go through one extra screen where they remind you you must have DTS capable equipment to reproduce it. That should answer the other person's question on this thread, (and you have answered it too).

My question was COMPARING THE SOUND of the music from one format and the other. The link to a review of the disc that you thoughtfuly provided said DTS was better. But becasue they did not show any examples of why, I suspect that it was just a bogus statement, no cmparison seeems to be actually made. If they said that on a certain song that somehting sounded better, I could try and listen for it.

However during my compairson they both sounded really good, and because it takes a minute to switch from one mode to the other I could not be sure which was better.

Component video is nice because you get very secure connections compared to S video. When I first got my TV, a Mitsubishi ws73903 I compared the two for the heck of it. The picture was very close, and only with a side by side immediate comparison would I give the smallest of margins to component. This may be from bias since I was expecting it to be better. It is not a big obvious difference.
