Author Topic: DTS disk serial numbers? Kyle Watkins Expert Film Handler Posts: 185 From: Stuart, FL, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 05-14-2003 03:29 PM                     Thought i bring this up after reading through the Matrix reloaded int the feature and trailer info. With the serial # on the disk. regardles if the first number is a 0 is it still consider a 5 number, which means the print is in EX/ES. Or is it different.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-14-2003 05:35 PM                        Huh?  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

A serial number with five digits (such as "35788" for example) would be a DTS-ES feature. Has this method been consistent with past DTS releases?  |  IP: Logged Karen Hultgren Master Film Handler Posts: 492 From: Agoura Hills, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-14-2003 07:11 PM                        The new MATRIX film is in 5.1, not ES or EX. It is true that the serial number on the disc starts with "0". But, this does not signify that it is an "ES mix". Any disc you see with four digits (ie 1234) or five digits starting with "0' (ie 01234) are both 5.1 mixes. An "ES mix" disc will have a serial number with a number other than "0" as the first digit. A true ES disc will have a five digit serial number such as "61236".
