What's the difference between theatrical DTS/DD and DVD DTS/DD? (1 Viewer)

[David Judah]

Yes, Bjoern I should know better than to think that anything DTS related would be plain and simple at the HTF.
Besides, the SAF is very low when asking to add two more speakers and we can't really hear very well behind us anyways, so it doesn't matter, right?

Is that really the goal? To recreate the "Theatrical Experience"? I think I'd rather aim for reality.

If I wanted reality, I'd open my front door and step outside. If I'm watching a movie, it's to experience something else.

I may be misunderstanding you, but are there not many DVDs available with Pro Logic surround tracks, etc?

He is saying that DD EX is the software format decoded by a THX EX decoder(hardware), just as Dolby Surround(software) is decoded by a Pro-logic decoder(hardware).

There are many DVDs released with 2 channel tracks from which 4 channels can be derived (Dolby Surround). From what I understand, Dolby Pro Logic refers to the hardware or decoding method used to decode a Dolby Surround sound track.
Of course, please correct if mistaken.

If a movie is not available in OAR, than it might as well not be available at all.
