In Reply to: Without DTS? You've got to be kidding. (nt) posted by Joe Murphy Jr on November 08, 2001 at 19:22:18:
I will concede the DTS issue with you, but really, how many of the joe sixpacks even have the EX feature yet, let alone DTS ( or know the difference between that and DD?)?
Follow Ups:
First of all, just do a search of DVD players (about 98% have a DTS digital output) or surround processors/receivers (about 85% have DTS decoders). Even if "joe sixpack" doesn't know what DTS is, he gets it without asking. He can then decide for himself if he would rather use the DTS track or the DD track -- it's his choice, not the "bound at the hip" team of Lucas and Dolby. Second, George Lucas has said that when he releases the Star Wars material outside of theaters, he wants to give the people the best video and audio experience that is available. As you have conceded the DTS "issue", you already know that DTS is superior when it comes to audio quality. What happened to giving people the best that's available? We got DD for political reasons -- not because it's the best. In a recent interview, the people at Lucas said that we didn't get DTS due to space limitations. What a load of crap. We know the real reason -- George and Ray, sittin' in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g... What we should have on the Phantom Menace DVD is a 24-bit DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete soundtrack at the highest bitrate. But, the bottom line is that we didn't get the best. Why should we? Because I want it -- and that's more than enough reason to provide it. As a matter of fact, we all deserve the best. Think we'll get a DTS track when the Indiana Jones movies get released? Don't bet on it.
