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

Thanks Bigjohn, does anybody else have any thoughts on this question?

Those credits are the original credits from the theatrical release. The 35mm prints went to some theatres with a DTS track.

interesting find bray... i doubt, being that its australian, it will even play in DVD players in region 1. but, i wasnt even aware there was a finding nemo avail in DTS. i think the production companies do this just to screw with us..

1st run- special edition in DD, with extras
2nd run- directors cut special edition in DTS, with new footage and extras.
3rd run- super box set with all the left over crap we didnt put in the first two, but we felt the need to make you buy one more disc...etc.etc..

i tell you, its a complete conspiracy..

Unfortunately, the DTS version seems to be released only in countries other than the US. In fact, the one linked above is from an Australian web site, and states "This DVD is formatted for playback on PAL enabled systems (Australian Standard)." I don't think it will play on our DVD players (Region 1), but I could be mistaken.

That was just the first (many) web sites on the list from a google search.
I've found that alot of movies are released in DTS at the same time theyre released in DD, theyre just not available in stores but easy to find online.
Dont know why.

Yes, but I went into page 3 of a google search, and all the sites, to that point, were UK, or CA, or NZ, or AU.

It is kind of like seeing SDDS in the credits on a DVD, or even in the movie theater for example. Not many theaters, or any home theater that I know of, can do SDDS.

Ocean's Twelve, Meet the Fockers, The Polar Express, and The Incredibles were all done with SDDS soundtracks, yet you most likely won't be able hear the SDDS soundtrack at most theaters, but the SDDS logo is at the end of the credits...

I thought that I woudl jump in here too. The DTS symbol is there because a DTS soundtrack was supplied for use in some theaters. Dolby Digital (DD) is actually, physically imprinted onto the film in between the sprocket holes. (it looks like snow from an old black and white tv - but really are color representations of 1s and 0s).

DTS, on the otehr hand, comes on a compact disc, with a time code affiliated with the movie so that it is automatically synched with the picture.

Many movie companies choose not to place the DTS mix on the DVD for space reasons - they believe that having additional bonus features will sell more DVDs than having additional audio options. Correct or not, that is the choice that many movie companies make. In addition, DD is the reference standard. That is, a DVD, if released, must contain a DD soundtrack, standard. It can include a DTS soundtrack only if it wants to and has the space. In addition, the DTS soudntrack takes up more space than the DD sonudtrack on the disc, so adding it begins to mess with the picture quality. (That's why superbit releases have no bonus features, for example).

I know that this is somewhat duplicative of what has been said above, but I hope it helps.
