DTS Included?
 

When viewing a movie's trailer at the theater or on a rented/purchased DVD the DTS logo is shown. Why is a DTS sountrack not available on the DVD.
Example: "A Man Apart"
I have experienced this several times and think DVD consumers are being misled, sort of. The DVD packaging only references Dolby Digital soundtracks but trailers show both. It seems theatrical releases converted to consumer DVD releases are striped of the highest quality sountrack.
DVD9's have the room to include this.
Anyone know what's happening here?

Theatrical DTS has nothing to do with home DTS. That is all.

That's all!
I Don't think so! When I purchase/rent a product such as a wide screen version of a theatrical release I expect, demand a like quality ,substance that I am enticed with in said products advertising (trailer). Anything less is unsatisfactory.

Your living in a dream world.

BigPete is right. One has nothing to do with the other.

There are some who prefer DTS, others who prefer DD. Some like extras, some don't. Some prefer Full Screen, most around here prefer Wide. You can't/won't make everyone happy.

Welcome to the real world of home video.

You must be very unhappy then. BigPete is right.

A movie's having a DTS version (which you may or may not get in the theater) promises nothing for home video.

Most new movies also are made in an SDDS version yet there is no SDDS in any home video product.

Where would you put all the speakers? :eek: :D

That's a vast over-s1mpl1f1cat1on.

DVD-9 or not, it depends on the length of the movie, how well that movie compresses, how many language tracks the DVD includes, the number of extras, etc.

Oh, and did we mention that the DTS that appears in a film's credits has nothing to do with the soudtracks included on the eventual home video release? It refers to which soundtracks are available on the theatrical release prints, period.

Are you referring to SDDS-8? That's nothing. Tom Holman has or is working on a 10.2 channel system.

and SDDS in the home? Please if it has as much problems as the theatrical SDDS it won't be successful.
