Warner Bros. making the jump to DTS-HD MA?

[VenomBrock]

Here's something interesting. DVDActive just put up the back cover for the upcoming 'Watchmen: Director's Cut', and check out the audio specs at the bottom!

That looks interesting. I personally have no problem with Warner switching to DTS-HD MA. Just don't give up on Dolby TrueHD.

I really wish I new what those things actually meant and what the difference was.

Looks like Dolby TrueHD might find itself without any sponsors if Warner bolts to DTS-HD MA.

Paramount would be the last one.

I wonder what is going on...

Why would you think them switching DTS would mean that they'd re-release a film and remaster the sound on a film which probably has pretty poor sound to begin with and magically add channels/remix it?

It's a TrueHD 2.0 track, probably the original. It's how it was released in theatres. They'd have to go back and remix it.

Sorry fellas I was just angry for a second there and just decided to take it out on a thread with no relevance to the subject. Message has been deleted just to avoid a mauling. But you're telling me that they've never done that? WHAT?! All I'm saying is that they should have done it in the first place. Whew! Never put it past you guys to correct the wrong... or whatever. You guys are quick, and good. You live and learn!

This in addition to Sony thinking about it makes me wonder what's happening behind the scenes. Maybe DTS is getting ready to take a bigger market share.

[saprano]

It probably was the directors choice.

[SBrooks1]

First Sony and now Warner?? Nice...

[Tru2theBlu]

That will be sick on this film. Good news! Thanks OP.

[Rblu-Dblu]

At least its not Dolby Digital.

Let's hope this is legit- in my opinion it should all be mastered in DTS HD MA 7.1- am I the only one in the 21st century? C'mon, guys, we've been listening to ex/es for a decade now; why do the powers that be still insist on mastering everything in 5.1? Could you imagine the home-theater viewing experience of The Dark Knight in DTS HD 7.1?

How many times are you going to copy and paste the same post?

Might as well argue that everything should be in 16:9 aspect ratio and shot in digital only.

It's up to the directors to create things as they see fit. If they want 5.1 audio, that's their choice. If they want stereo, that's fine too. Even mono is fine if that's what they want.

No one cares if your home theatre isn't getting used to its maximum just like no one cares if your screen has black bars. That's how it is meant to be presented and to complain about it is foolish.

Another great TrueHD track is The Incredible Hulk in the areas that Paramount owned the distribution for. Sounds as great as what you guys are saying in the US. Such a great mix.

Are you kidding me? I think that 5.1 is enough for Watchmen, but 7.1? That's fit for the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, but I respect your point.
