More Blu-Ray Problems - Die Hard

Well, it seems as if there are more problems with companies doing movie conversions to Blu-Ray.

Die Hard will not broadcoast in 5.1 Surround Sound. It is only doing Left and Right speaker Stereo.

I havent tried the other Die Hards, but so far the first Die Hard is not correct.

edit: English is not in 5.1. Surround sound is only in French and Spanish

I really enjoyed the DTS HD-MA track on the 1st Die Hard... much more impressive than the PQ.

it appears as if this problem only exists on copies that aren't apart of the box set

Die Hard is presented in DD Surround on the Blu-ray disc. The only English track that is 5.1 is DTS-MA, which supports the core DTS tracks.

It is clearly labeled on the individual case.

This is not an error... Unless you consider Fox only supporting multi-channel English audio with DTS-MA an error. (Many are befuddled by this decision.)

What really? I assumed the discs were exactly the same, just packaged differently.

there is no 5.1 AT ALL on this blu-ray of Die Hard that I have. It only plays in stereo. As I've stated before, it only exists in stand alone Die Hard versions

Well, my standalone copy plays fine in DTS 5.1.

Have you tried other Fox titles? I'm thinking maybe your receiver does not decode DTS.
