First of all, Welcome to the forum.

I think overall DTS is better (from my own personal experience)...There ARE differences but, I don't know the technical jargon and I'm sure it would be hard to understand if one wasn't a techie.

This can be a pretty heated topic in the forum, and can quickly turn into an argument...but I dug up this thread for you:

This has been debated a million times here.

ok Abranut, thanks m8

I was wondering because I thought I'd buy the Jurassic Park DVD and saw there were 2 versions, one with DTS and the other with dolby digital, damn it's hard to make these kind of decisions when you don't know much about the stuff

DTS is IMHO the best sound on DVD.

Just makes sure it's the corrected version:
