DD-EX & DTS-ES encoded movies listing - Page 8

To my suprise, my receiver detected a rear-center signal when choosing the DTS track on 'Riding with the King' by 'Eric Clapton & B.B. King'. It was DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.

Troy,
Did you see thebits is reporting not DTSES on the 1982 version of ET on the collectors set (3 disc) but it is present on the 2 disc?

I don't understand why the 3-D IMAX videos are not DTS-ES matrix if the DD track is EX. If they used the same uncompressed 5.1 master during encoding to DD and DTS, then both contain a matrixed back surround channel.

You know I remember seeing a cardboard stand-up ad for "Wild Wild West" in a theater way back in 1999 and saw a Dolby Digital EX logo on it, I remember thinking "Cool". I'm not sure if they transferred it to the DVD but I would bet it is!

I'll double check on that and make any updates accordingly.

I did, thanks. The list has been updated accordingly.

I'm not sure and I really don't understand it either. The only thing I could think of is that they did the DTS encoding without the ES portion/extension of it (like they downmixed the 5.1 EX track to DTS 5.1). More people are confirming it's not ES than are confirming it is. I may just pick up the titles to see.

I think this question has been asked here before but not definitively answered...what DD-EX DVD's have the flag to switch the receiver into 6.1 mode automatically? Thus far I know of one where this worked...the French soundtrack on Pearl Harbor automatically engaged DD-EX on my Sony 'DA4ES.

Great list, BTW...thanks Troy!

And that Flag was a mistake as Pearl Harbor is not EX only 5.1 accordingly to Roger Dressler from Dolby Labs!

There are a few new DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DD EX titles coming next year from Anchor Bay.

Day of the Dead
Dawn of the Dead
The Man Who Fell To Earth

and very possibly Making Contact

There are other titles listed but no sound formats were mentioned.

I just re-confirmed that all three IMAX 3D DVDs are indeed flagged as DTS-ES Matrix. At least, that's what my receiver says, and I was careful to make sure it's in "auto" mode.

I just bought the 2-disc Limited Collector's Edition of E.T., and according to the packaging, the DTS soundtrack is supposed to be DTS-ES. However, my decoder certainly isn't auto-decoding it as such. Is there mistake on the packaging, did the flag get inadvertently left off, or is my receiver screwed up? My receiver's never had any problem auto-decoding DTS-ES Matrix tracks in the past.
