Can someone explain to me why Warner Bros keep wasting valuable disc space with all these different language soundtracks and subtitles, instead of adding a DTS soundtrack to their DVD releases. They're even screwing up their Blu-Ray releases. I was hoping that all my favorite WB movies that were released on DVD without DTS would get a DTS release on Blu-Ray...GUESS NOT!!!

WB Sucks.

Maybe post in the DVD forum?

But DTS is only used on Warner titles for ones that have the Maximum mode (Profile 1.1). Warner only did DTS DVDs for a short time too. They went right back to Dolby.

Well, when it comes to New Line titles, they also went back to DTS. The Final Destination is DTS-HD MA.

And to answer your question about why the DVDs don't have it:

DTS eats more space then Dolby Digital and unlike Blu-ray Disc, DTS is not one of the mandatory codecs. So if a studio or distributor incldues DTS then they still have to include Dolby Digital audio as a secondary track.

Also, Warner only made a licensing deal with DTS for five Warner films. The contract is fufilled so Warner does not have to commit to DTS anymore. Some branches or productions companies may choose to use DTS on DVD but again, they also have to include a Dolby Digital track as well.

Also, on Blu-ray, DTS HD MA will give you the same sound as Dolby True HD.

Mr. Salty

He did. This thread is pretty much in both places.

And is pretty useless in both places as the original poster does not understand lossless codecs....no sense in bitching about Warner BDs lacking DTS brand soundtracks when they were released with Dolby TrueHD....

I've heard somewhere before that, "if you don't have anything useful to say, then you should SHUT THE F#@K UP!!!"

Maybe you should try it and keep it moving.

Dont mind him that poster really likes to spend a lot of time talking down and being rude to quite a few forum members, some people really have nothing better to do with their time. or maybe there are deeper rooted issues with a person like that.

WMAangel

So you complaining about Warner not using DTS on Blu-ray Discs that already did get Dolby TrueHD tracks (and therefore would not in any way be improved by a DTS track) is useful?
Then making the exact same post in two different forums is useful?
But informing someone exactly why DTS is unnecessary and redundant when another lossless soundtrack was already provided is not useful?
Good to know....

WMAangel

Thanks for the personal attack....I keep ignoring you, but yet you still always have to talk some crap about me....whatever, post reported....

WMAangel: Seriously. If you have nothing useful to say, then it's best to say nothing.

chukkie26: Your language sucks. Even with the # and the @, that is really not called for.

Apparently, there is already a discussion in another thread, so closing this one.
