JP III changed to reflect DTS-ES...

We did a little bit of checking and it turns out it was just an oversight that the French 5.1 track has an EX flag. We have encoders in the field that can set the flag, and it was being used to encode another title with Surround EX, but wasn't reset when it went back into service for the French PH track, and no one noticed., since the existing studio monitor decoder (DP562) doesn't yet read it. Our new handheld bitstream analyzer reads it, and this is what we used to confirm the setting when we found a consumer decoder reporting the flag. The English track does not have the flag, and neither track is encoded in Surround EX. Sorry for the confusion, but at least you can see if your flag detector detects.

Jurassic Park III" should be the first to "correctly" have the Surround EX decoding flag.
Yep,it's the fist time I saw the light come on for the flag on a DD soundtrack.So much for the "you need THX EX to get the proper decoding",if my 3801 can detect the flag,that's all that matter to me,to get EX right,without other post processing!
