Swing Vote DTS MA? - Blu-ray Forum

Jodi · 01-21-2009, 02:31 AM

Just curious....
I don't care about this film, but wondered if "Swing Vote" makes your DTS HD MA (on your receiver) glow??
I saw the back cover art of it today and noticed it has the DTS HD High Resolution Audio logo on it.
"Swing Vote" is a Touchstone Pictures release (which is under the Disney umbrella). Disney's "WALL-E" BD back cover art also has the DTS HD High Resolution Audio logo on it, but we know that "WALL-E" plays back in full DTS HD MA.

You mean is the film actually in DTS-HD MA?

Yes.

Yes, I am asking if Swing Vote was indeed encoded in DTS HD MA.
Since Walt Disney Pictures itself (Sleeping Beauty, WALL-E, and the upcoming Pinocchio) has decided to go DTS HD MA, the other Disney "umbrella" studios like Touchstone, Miramax, and Dimension Films are a bit murky regarding DTS HD MA. For example, some upcoming "umbrella" release (I can't remember it now) is going to be given the Dolby TruHD treatment, so I wonder if and how far DTS HD MA's penetration via the Disney umbrella is going to go.

It is interesting the studio's choice in codecs.

Just when you thought they were going to abandon PCM for TRUEHD on releases like NATIONAL TREASURE 2 and THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, they turn around and annouced WALL-E, NARNIA and SWING VOTE with DTSMA then Miramax annouced ROUNDERS with TRUEHD?

Maybe different unbrellas under the Disney banner have made different codec choices?

Rounders may have been produced a while ago... Kinda makes you wonder what would suddenly make a studio switch to DTS though. I have a pretty good idea why though (and it's deffinitely not the quality).

Space Buddies has DTS-HD Master Audio

As does many upcoming films.

Do you think it's a case where the different companies within Disney will use different codecs?

I doubt it. I think pretty much any disc produced by Disney (which includes Touchstone, Miramax, and all the other companies) will feature DTS-HD MA. I think Rounders was either produced around the time they were using Dolby TrueHD, or else it was a typo and will actually feature DTS-HD MA. Neither of which would surprise me.

Most upcoming releases should feature DTS-HD MA, but there are a few that have been a long time coming that will not see that.
