DD-EX & DTS-ES encoded movies listing - Page 16

Both "Shattered Glass" and "Mystic River" triggered DD-Ex processing on my amp.
Are we still updating this list?

My question may probably get lost in this huge post but I know I can't start a new thread so here goes.....
.....PLEASE HELP!
Is there a Dolby EX equivalent to DTS-ES discrete that has the 3 rear channels encoded as individual channels and not matrixed?

If it's in DD EX, then I belive the DTS track must be ES 5.1 matrix track as well. Unless they went through the trouble of using two different masters (and I just don't see them going this route), isn't that right?

Strange, on "Cold Mountain" my Denon 4802R flagged to DTS ES, yet the auto-detect light did not go on. I never understood how people know when a DVD track is encoded in EX (or ES) if the disc is not correctly flagged, or labeled on the box. I really wish the studios who start labeling the detection, otherwise I wouldn't know unless I read any information of the internet.

Okay, end of vent.

Which is the whole purpose of this thread.

Anyway, it seems some of the Denon receivers out there are incorrectly switching to EX or ES with the Cold Mountain DVD. I have tried the DVD on every brand we have at work, and only Denon was switching to EX or ES mode. Can't figure out why though since the DVD is not encoded with either EX or ES.

Troy,

Shouldn't Ninja Scroll: 10th Anniversary Special Edition be on the DTS ES lists. You have it in the DD EX list. But not on the DTS ES Discrete/Matrix lists. The disc is flagged for both EX & ES.

I've just installed a new speaker system and now have the 6th/back speaker. I have noticed Dolby EX on several DVD's. I have a Pioneer 811S. But every DVD-A disc that I play shows up as EX on the receiver. Does that seem right? I do get music out of the back speaker.

I have the 812s. Make sure that the back surround is set to auto detect and not simply ON! I incorrectly reported earlier in this thread that the movie "Shattered Glass" was EX encoded because the EX indicator on my amp came on while incorrectly set.
Now that I've set it to auto-detect, the indicator only comes on when a disc is correctly flagged.
Sorry about the earlier post.:b

I know what you mean Troy. I haven't heard anything since the announcement of ST:Generations, but I bet that First Contact will be in EX as well.

Recently though I watched The Butterfly Effect and that was an awesome experience in ES-Discrete. Pretty good movie too IMO.

Yes, lots of dynamic range on TBE.

Troy, keep up the good work. As you know, I have linked back to this thread from the FAQ area.

This has already been answered, but I felt it important to clarify something: DTS-ES Discrete is not really completely discrete. The center surround sound is encoded both to its own track and to the left and right surrounds to ensure backwards compatibility with 5.1 systems. During DTS-ES Discrete playback, the center surround information is subtracted from the left and right surrounds during decoding. So technically, these 3 channels aren't reproduced as individual channels, since the left and right surrounds are recreated by subtracting center surround information. There is no true 6.1 discrete format.

As far as Dolby goes, DPL-IIx's synthesis of center surround information on DD-EX tracks sounds as good or better than some DTS-ES Discrete tracks I've heard. While it is still matrix decoding, it does sound considerably more cohesive across the rear than DD-EX does.

But if DTS wanted to they could (but haven't) release a soundtrack mix with standard ES discrete and a true ES discrete mix with out the center info added in the Surr L/R. So the possibility software/hardware wise is there just not used.

Looks like The Punisher can be added to the DD-EX list.

Edit FYI, the disc is flagged correctly also.
