Most of the early DTS titles from Universal had DTS 5.1 and Dolby Surround tracks. There were also DD 5.1 versions of these titles released.
Point Break has DTS 5.1 and DD 4.0

The reason you never get a DVD with just DTS is because it's not permitted by the DVD standard. A disk must include a PCM or a DD soundtrack (on Region 2, you have the option of MPEG-2 Audio too). So they get around this by just chucking on a Dolby Surround soundtrack to accompany full bit-rate DTS.

Does the Dolby track merge the LF & RF for the center channel and drop the LFE?
Think it's DD 4.0 instead of 5.1 due to disc space?

The original DTS release of Babe only had DPL. I, of course, got the DTS version because the difference between DTS and DD really comes through in the scene where Babe sings Jingle Bells.

In general, DVDs that have a separate DTS release would have full-rate DTS 5.1 and DD 2.0. Now DVDs that have both DTS 5.1 and DD 5.1 on the same disc would have only half-bitrate DTS instead.
