Since the official announcement doesn't list audio formats, I would hazard a guess that it will include at least a DTS-ES matrix track like 102 Dalmations.

That's just a hunch coming from Disney's new track record.

It seems that DTS isn't always put the "flag" in the bitstream as well[ES Matrix].
I just tried the Bone Collector,and Pitch Black,no "flag".Same goes to 102 Dalmations.
T2 however has it.
The 6 ES discrete titles I own, all has the "flag".
Wonder Why?
As for The Fight Club.
Peter Staddon of Fox said that it was their first DVD with EX,though it wasn't official.

New update!

Dan Hitchman

Troy,

From all indications, the new DTS-ES discs from Anchor Bay are DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 tracks.

Not sure about The Mexican, but it should have at least a DTS-ES matrix track.

Unbreakable has a DTS-ES matrix track. Disney may not have had an encoder that places flags on the DTS track.

Not that this is an absolute indicator, but Dolby Lab's website does not list The Mexican as a 6.1 movie.

The DTS and DTS ES titles seem to have a flag, but i actually want to see a dolby EX title with a flag. When is that gonna happen

Perry Sun

"The Mexican" is Surround EX-encoded (and also DTS-ES compatible). Gary Rydstrom was the lead re-recording mixer, and he has used Surround EX in every film he's worked on since "Star Wars: Episode I." He's very much in favor of it.

One of the annoying aspects of Surround EX is that it's not always easy to know what films actually used it. It's certainly possible for a post facility to have used it for a certain soundtrack and Dolby or no one else knowing about it. "The Mexican" is one of these films, as was "Hollow Man" and others.

If someone out there can convince me through reputable sources that "The Claim" was Surround EX-encoded, I'd greatly appreciate that.

Perry,

Thanks for the info (page 1 has been changed to reflect the ES status of The Mexican).

As far as the claim is concerned, I think most of the EX/ES information came from here SMR .

There aren't very many 'reliable' sources for EX/ES information, but they are one on the forefront. The Claim isn't on Dolby's site...

Dolby just released the new encoder for sale that will,insert the flag,on the soundtrack.
Don't know which studio or movie will be the first or when we see it first.
