I was watching a rental disc of The Bone Collector a few weeks ago, and it was pretty scratched up and developed some pixillation problems and stopped completely right before the climatic scene between the killer and Denzel Washington's character. I restarted the disc at the chapter stop for this scene to watch the finale, and immediatly noticed how the soundstage had collapsed and the sound effects were less dynamic. I realized that I had been watching the film with the DTS track originally, but it had defaulted to DD when I restarted at the climactic scene. DTS is audibly superior to DD, and it's been obvious to my ears with every disc I've tried.
