    DTS is a great codec, even the starting one which have around 800kb had so much bass comparing wit Dolby Digital which was 380-500kbps, it was so higher quality that I prefer DTS oved DD. It was amazing how better DTS was! And this was just a first generation...

    I had no idea what DTS was growing up. It took me years to figure out what DTS is until 2007 when I experienced it. At the time, I didn't have the proper equipment to do DTS. It would not be until January 2015 when I finally watched a DVD in DTS Digital Surround at my uncle's cousin's house (and they have a home theatre system at their house). The first film I watched in DTS Digital Surround was Speed.

    Years later a friend who projected at Pacific Theatres gave me JP Lost World DTS audio disc.

    Have followed DTS since Jurassic Park was released at the cinema in 1993 to home releases on LaserDisc followed by DVD. Imported a Panasonic A110 from the States (which was one of the first two players in the world to include a DTS output) when released.
    Must say I generally preferred DTS over Dolby Digital when watching movies in cinemas.
    It’s kind of shame how DTS has fallen so far behind Dolby Laboratories in recent years in both cinemas and the home cinema market.

      I wouldn’t necessarily say they’ve fallen behind. I feel like they’ve diversified in more fields of audio than Dolby. While you’ll see Dolby in a lot of movie related areas of entertainment, DTS has their technology in cars, radios DLNA, Alexa and other areas people don’t realize.

      DTS hasn't fallen behind, it's just Dolby is super aggressive slapping on the "Dolby Atmos" name on as many products as possible (ie. Smartphones, Tablets, Soundbars, Headphones). This makes Dolby more "popular" as a house-hold name, however the best DTS:X mix still sounds better than the best Dolby Atmos mix.

    The crime here is that Universal doesn't include the original 5.1 DTS mix with any recent release of Jurassic Park. To find it, you have to go back to the LaserDiscs. The DVDs get close but not a perfect match.

      @popcornbobGCC 3 года назад +2

      @@MovieUniversity the new 7.1 and DTS X mixes have good fidelity, but they are very much a remix, with lots of subtle and not so subtle changes done. Given the original mix's historical significance, the awards it won, etc., it should be preserved and available. Jurassic Park isn't the only film to be in this situation: films are constantly getting releases with remixed sound that is in no way the same as their original theatrical experience. From an art history/film preservation perspective, that's wrong. The original theatrical 6 track has a very different balance and to me, does sound better than the two new remixes. On a personal level too, when you grow up hearing the film sound a certain way, hundreds of times, you want to continue hearing it that same way. The new mixes don't capture that and it just ruins the experience. I will say I believe some of the streaming versions I've heard on iTunes, Peacock, etc. seem to have the 5.1 mix albeit probably adjusted from its original ferocity. The DTS LaserDisc, the AC3 LaserDisc, and the actual theatrical DTS 6 track are really the way to go.

    • @MovieUniversity
      @MovieUniversity  3 года назад +1

      @@popcornbobGCC I reached out to someone at DTS on this. Off the top of their head and without checking, this person said you're probably right. The original 5.1 is not available for a variety of reasons. Over the years, Universal will have adjusted certain things on the soundtrack with subsequent releases to improve the sound from their perspective. When this is done it costs money. So when it comes to releasing products and there's limited room available on a disc or server, they're choose the version they just spent money on versus something older. Because Jurassic Park was such an iconic movie and it was a Steven Spielberg one at that, it is more than likely that the studio would only have changed the audio track with permission from Spielberg himself. Which means he liked the new version he heard.
      Hope this helps.

    • @popcornbobGCC

      @@MovieUniversity That's really disappointing too. These filmmakers are just throwing away history by revisiting their work years after the fact and not preserving original versions. I've always been ok with directors cuts, alternate versions, etc. as long as the original version of the film is preserved, both sound and picture. I don't buy for a second the limits on disc space: you could put a 384kbps AC3 track with the original mix on there and it would take up just under 400MB of disc space. AC3 at that bitrate is perfectly fine too so long as you throw a good mix on it. Shoot, the studios are even forgetting to offer original mono or stereo mixes, which take up even less space, while only offering re-mixes.
      Preservation is important for all art forms, especially cinema where it is so amazingly simple to make a change in the name of revisionism, even if it is the original director. And just think how it feels as a foley artist or sound engineer working on a picture of this magnitude having their final project thrown out for the sake of shiny and new?
      I guess if they want to do this, ok, but just make sure historians and film fans alike can get the original, unchanged. Don't pull a George Lucas and try to literally erase a film as it was originally released.

I was polite when I asked him and he replied "What are you going to do about it if I don't!"
      Well, What he didn't know is that Have a 600W RMS full Stack system which could peak at 1200W and so I force fed him some of my taste in music at full blast in 5.1. He jumped out of his skin and ran out of his house and there was me waiting with my remote in hand with a big smile on my face. I paused it and said to him "That's what I'll do! Are you going to turn it down now?". He didn't say a word and went back into his house and turned it down. My system must have gone through his entire house. I know for a fact that My sound completely drowned out his crappy little micro stereo. His couldn't have been any more than 100W peak. I made him and his whole house jump. He wasn't expecting that. I still have a smile on my face as I'm writing this.
