Answer found

No good, the amplifier definitely needs a raw stream. It is very odd; all HDDVDs used to show DTS on my E1. Now none of the ones I've tried do, except Mulholland Drive. Why this should be different,...

Thanks for that. Unfortuanatly none of these players are available in Europe. My other option is just buy another PC and plug it into my Toshiba projector but this is an expensive choice.

dvdcompare.net says:

I was assuming that it would be cheaper to buy the disks in Japan than order them online. "Lorelei ..." sounds interesting and I'll look it up.

I have a noticeable gap in my DVD collection; my favourite SF film "Forbidden Planet". The reason I haven't bought it, is, because I'm sure I read last year, that a SE release was due in 2006.

Have you read the book he wrote after this: Shutter Isle. Absolutely amazing. I did predict the end but it didn't stop me being blown away by the way he pulled it off.
