Author Topic: Troy in DTS-ES but not EX???? Kyle Watkins Expert Film Handler Posts: 185 From: Stuart, FL, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 05-16-2004 01:11 AM                     Tonight watching the end of Troy. I saw the logs for DTS-ES but only saw the dolby digtal logo. Is this a misprint or something. I thought if, it is ES its aslo EX.

I am 99% positive that the discs did not say ES.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 05-16-2004 01:16 AM                    I can't remember exactly but I don't remember the ES logo being on the DTS disc labels.  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 05-16-2004 02:20 AM                     Dolby's site says it's just regular Dolby Digital, no EX...  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

BTW: dts' list doesn't mark Troy as es either ! Let's live with it: They really took our asses with that 7th channel, which we didn't need, didn't ask for, but paid for anyway. Now it's there, almost as usefull as a 70mm projector. That's life ! (next thing will be digital projectors) p p  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Perhaps some special edition version of "Troy" will have DTS-ES 6.1 on it. There's plenty of cases where a movie has been released theatrically with a standard Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track but then featured DD 5.1-EX or even DTS-ES 6.1 on DVD.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 05-16-2004 04:27 PM                     quote: Bobby Henderson Maybe they put the DTS-ES logo on the end credits of "Troy" perhaps with the DVD release in mind. Except that Troy is from a company that does not currently support DTS on their DVDs.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 05-16-2004 05:15 PM                     It'd be a nice change to get Warner to do DTS, but Troy's track wasn't that great in the first place so I don't see DTS really helping it all that much. Now T3 in DTS would have been nice. I know other parts of the world got it in DTS because Sony owns the rights and it was supposedly outstanding!

Personally, I thought the mixing on Troy sounded pretty cheap, most of the dialouge was mixed with natural sounds in the center channel. The effects in the surrounds had decent direction as they were.  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-16-2004 06:23 PM                     Lethal Weapon Directors Cut also had DTS on them.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 05-16-2004 08:16 PM                     quote: Steve Scott Warner did have DTS on a few DVDs, the rerelease of Twister being the only one I can remember quote: Ron Lacheur Lethal Weapon Directors Cut also had DTS on them.
