Paramount finally supporting DTS!!! (1 Viewer)

[Randy A Salas]

They also now support P&S discs

Such as...?

 

[Scott Simonian]

This is great news indeed! Ive been waiting for news if a second Titanic release would finally have a DTS track. Now, it just may happen.

I would LOVE Paramount to try out DTS's full bitrate 96/24 format on their 5.1 titles.

Also, Paramount could get Mi Casa on-board to do some great DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 remixes by supplying them with the original archival soundtrack music/sfx stems to work with.


Mr. Blythe, I hope you're reading this!

Are you going to find a way to work Mi Casa into every thread tonight?

Damin,

They do great digital re-mastering/remixing work, so why not use their expertise?

I just found it amusing that in the three threads in a row that I clicked on, the use of Mi Casa's services was suggested by you. I wasn't disagreeing with you...

Yeah, I'm already thinking I clicked and reading the same thread over and over, deja vu all the time.
Who is this Mi Casa su casa?

Yawn. That argument no longer holds weight and is what people have being arguing even before DTS titles hit DVD. Some of the best DVDs out there manage to have DTS tracks yet maintain superb video quality.

Sorry to bore you, but it might help if you read what I actually said. Nowhere did I state that discs with DTS tracks have inferior video quality. My only point is that space is finite, and if a DTS track is included, the space has to come from somewhere. Sometimes extras get dropped (as with nearly all of the early full-rate DTS discs). Sometimes the video quality suffers (I still believe this happened with the T2: Ultimate Edition). Sometimes the DTS track gets jettisoned because the disc's producers just can't fit it in without sacrificing video quality (X-Men) or omitting extras (Back to the Future).

And often enough -- particularly with 2-disc sets -- there's room enough for everything, and everybody's happy. But there's always a bit-budget, and that's my only point.

Anamorphic rereleases of Jack Ryan films, Ghost and Darkness, and Titanic would make me drool to no end. And a DTS version of face/off would be sublime

 

[Sean Moon]

and for supporting pan and scan...Serving Sara is dual release...and its hard to tell by the box

 

[rutger_s]

Serving Sara is not the first dual-release from Paramount Home Entertainment.

The first was Charlotte's Web.

Then Grease.

Then Martin Lawrence: RunTelDat

Then Serving Sara

Also, some of their DVDs do offer both screen formats on the same disc.

Face/Off in dts with a new transfer and extras? I'd burn my LD version in the streets if this ever appeared. Breakdown also deserves a revisit, as the current non-anamorphic R1 dvd sucks. Hopefully the Jack Ryan set will kick ass (and featurettes for Hunt for Red October are already filtering through the BBFC over here). And as for Titanic - four disc set anyone?

 

[Mark_Wilson]

Sorry if I sound like a broken record, but there is an anamorphic version of Face/Off in DTS in R3 Korea.
A lot of Korean dvds are actually flagged R0 and are all NTSC.

This is indeed good news and THE MOUNTAIN needs to be commended for it!

 

[Sean Moon]

yeah, I knew they had more dual releases, but Serving Sara was the most recent, with the most commmon packaging. The color is exactly the same on them. As long as anamorphic is supported on all new releases, I can live with dual format. As long as I get OAR.
I really hope paramount uses DTS as a reason to fix some old releases though. Kinda like Fox did a few years ago. Braveheart DTS...oh my! But I think that Ghost and Darkness would be a big one for me, aside from Titanic. Forgot about Breakdown...I knew there was a reason I was avoiding buying it.

 

[Randy A Salas]

Serving Sara is not the first dual-release from Paramount Home Entertainment.

The key here is that Paramount is the only studio that has never released a P&S-only DVD, not even their family films. So complaining that it supports P&S because it has released several dual-format discs (realizing that Rutger's post was being informative and not complaining) is simply being silly.

 

[Ron-P]

Excellent news, it's about time they joined in. Hopefully Indy gets dts.


Peace Out~

 

[Damin J Toell]

Hopefully Indy gets dts.

That was my personal guess for the title(s) that will be the first to get DTS from Paramount...

[DanR]

As I am always critical of Paramount around here, I will be fair and say that this is finally good news. Paramount committed to DVD in April 1998...it will be at least 5 years before a DTS title hits the shelves. I skeptically await title announcements, but it is a step in the right direction nonetheless. Better late than never I guess.

Hell, Paramount might actually have a good year in my eyes if they settle the BS with Lucasfilm and get Indy out later this year as well.

I bought one Paramount DVD last year. It's Paramount's move...

Regards,
Dan

It appears everyone is forgetting that Lucas will call the final shot on Indy and this is why it will NOT be in DTS.

I just hope Raiders gets a prestine, outstanding transfer; just a "good" transfer will be a huge disappointment for the greatest action/adventure movie of all time.
