Heat and BlackHawk Down in DTS? (1 Viewer)

[Darryl Gwinnett]

Any one know when these are going to get the DTS treatment?Cheer's Darryl.

Heat- Never in the US
BHD- Whenever they do a Superbit

And this should be in Software

The Japanese R2 of Black Hawk Down has a full bitrate DTS track, and I've heard it has excellent PQ as well.

 

[Darryl Gwinnett]

Why would Heat never get a DTS track in the U.S?

 

[Travis Olson]

Because it's a Warner title.

 

[Chad Ferguson]

That makes no sense to myself. Warner has put out some great DTS releases I think. Also, they didn't advertise it like they should. A little picture of DTS at the bottom just doesn't cut it. I wonder if there will be a new cut of Heat if/when it is being rereleased. I'm sure this version has sold well.
Thanks

 

[Jeff Kleist]

Yes but unfortunately they go by those sales numbers (the suits) when deciding future releases

I'd say The Matrix is the only film in their catalog that stands a chance.

The Warner chat coming up in April sounds like a good time for us to let them know that we would like to see the above titles with DTS.

Also the Scandinavian release of BHD distributed by SF has a DTS track that sounds amazing. Not that impressed with the picture quality though...

The Japanese R2 of Black Hawk Down has a full bitrate DTS track

Actually it's half-rate... but still sounds great.

What is the picture quality like on that Japanese R2 version? Is it anamorphic? Is it a good transfer? Also, Is Japanese R2 NTSC or PAL, sorry can't remember.

Thanks!

 

[Jeff Kleist]

NTSC

 

[ZackR]

Thanks, Jeff for the response.

I do appreciate it.

Zack, I've not seen the r1 version of BHD to compare... but the Japanese release is anamorphic and looks great.
