In regards to the LOTR DVDs (FOTR and TTT)and the 6.1 DTS ES discrete option... can someone give me scenes/ chapters in these DVDs that best demonstrate the 6.1 discrete channel? Thanks

TonyD

if they do the HELL BOY one is DD EX from the once upon a time mexico , dvd.

I recently provided a link to this thread as a resource for ES & EX titles. I was told that the Pirates of the Carribbean DVD listing under DD Surround - EX banner on page 1 is incorrect. I checked my copy and all I see on the packaging is DD 5.1 and DTS. I put in my player and checked the Audio Set up options and found the same thing (dd 5.1 & DTS only). So what gives? I bought the disc in the good old U.S. of A. so I'm fairly certain it's a Region 1 DVD.

*Edit*
It's also listed under the DTS-ES banner.

Okay I'm a little dense. I figured it out. Encoded for DD-EX/DTS-ES but not marked as such on the package....D0'H!!

Yeah Baby! 100 EX titles!!!

Anyway, new updates.

---Special Updates---

7 Additional titles were added thanks to HTFer Michael Coate. The new additions are highlighted in BLUE.

Some of the confirmation listings;

• The Ring (EX uncredited; source: film's mixers)
• Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (EX uncredited; flagged; confirmed by studio)
• Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (EX uncredited; source: Paramount)
• Winged Migration (unconfirmed; ID'd as EX in film's on-screen credits)

ok so now it's a yes for ST V?
so it's not wrongly encoded?

I think DVDFile's review of Star Trek VI specifically states that you should not turn on EX encoding because it will collapse the surrounds to the center.

I'm skeptical about those "confirmations".

Doug Schiller

I just got the new Widescreen Review and they also mention that Paramount is confirming DDEX on Star Trek VI.
I guess I'm going to eat some crow.

Way to go Paramount!

So what about Hollow Man and Man In Black 2 Superbit, aren't those DD EX and DTS ES. I suppose Kiss Of The Dragon is EX too.

Can anyone provide positive info on those? Please?

Troy LaMont

Hollow Man SB is EX. MIB II & KOD aren't listed on any EX listings so why would they be EX?

New disclaimer added...
