Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater OT Finding Nemo and DTS

I noticed the other day while wathing Finding Nemo with my kids, that at the end of the Credits, it showed the DTS logo along with the Dolby and others....However, I don't see that the DVD includes the DTS track. Most DVD's will have the normal setup menu allowing you to select DTS or Dolby, however, I don't find it on my Nemo disc. We were watching the fullframe disc on our 32" Toshiba, haven't tried the widescreen disc. Any thoughts...

here is my thoughts..

i have noticed several credits mention DTS, but yet, they wont have the DTS format on the DVD itself. i think when they actually record the movie on film, they use the DTS technology, but then choose NOT to include that audio feature on the DVD. seems weird, but i think thats what is happening. it must be a cost factor, or some sort of franchise fee for the DTS, that some companies are not willing to pay for use on a DVD. i could be TOTALLY in the wrong here, i have no idea, but thats what i think the deal is. and i have had several movies on DVD that had DTS on the credits, but it wasnt avail in the audio features.

i bet craig would maybe know about this.. it is his business after all..

EDIT- i will even go a little more OT here.. i was watching the 2nd harry potter movie last night(scorcers stone), and it had some awesome surround effects in that movie. it is in the regular DD format, but it absolutely blew me away. if you havnt had a chance to see it yet, do yourself a favor, and go rent it tonight. some of the better use of surrounds i think i have heard.. IMO...

Nitpick - the second HP movie was The Chamber of Secrets. The Sorcerer's Stone ( aka Philospher's Stone in Europe) was the first, and Prisoner of Azkaban is the third. The remainder have not been filmed.

End Nitpick

correct you are sir.... my bad.. it was the 2nd one, chamber of secrets.. i am supposed to watch the 3rd one tonight.. they seem like they are getting more dark and evil...

Yes, they somewhat mirror the books, as they get more - adult - for lack of a better term - as the series progresses.

There are several changes from 1&2 to 3 that make almost a different movie series. The continuity is maintained in the novels, but not in the movies.

And let's not even mention the actual "physical" changes to the layout of the Hogwart's campus from 1 & 2 to 3...

I've noticed that some movies in general arent available through "regular" sources in DTS, but then you look on Amazon or some other sites and you can find them in "DTS special editions" for no extra money.
Wonder why.?

Yes, while I like the new images, it is difficult to follow. Take Hagrad's hut for example.....suddenly the grounds around the castle have a SERIOUS slope to them!!!!

Exactly what I mean!

And it seems the Whomping Willow has taken to Wandering...

Heres an example of what I'm talking about.
