Doesn't it more completely say: "In this Dolby vs DTS debate, DTS people argue that they are after 'sonic perfection, not space consumption' - hence the higher bit rate and lower compression.
Dolby would counteract that their codec is more efficient and therefore, it can operate at a lower bit rate. "
Higher bit rate and lower compression does not equal less efficient... However, who really knows which is actually true. Both companies want to "spin it" like a couple of competing politicians. Like the rest of the article states, there is more to it than bit rates and compression levels. I just know that I like the levels in which DTS remixes the soundtrack, and that is good enough for me.

I always choose DTS when it's available. I tried a few scenes off the LoTR trilogy DVDs when they came out, swapping between DD and DTS soundtracks, and I preferred the DTS.

I thought it was apparent from my quote that it was Dolby's biased stance.

Now I'm thinking of This Is Spinal Tap, where the girlfriend/manager suggests that they record in Dubbly...

Dolby.... bias.... that's funny! (Even if only the old-time analog recording engineers get it! Right, Jack??)

I'm too biased to comment.

Maybe someone could help me understand the difference a little more. Is DTS always 7.1, and is Dolby Digital always 5.1? I don't remember ever seeing Dolby Digital in 7.1 on my receiver, but then again I'm still playing SD DVDs. I could be mistaken, but the only DVD I have (haven't watched them all again after going from 5.1 to 7.1)that shows up as 7.1 on my receiver is The Eagles: Help Freezes Over which I listen to in DTS.

Someone mentioned Spielberg often uses DTS on DVD, but that is actually where this started from. It was the new Indiana Jones movie that I watched that didn't have DTS. If that doesn't have it, maybe no one is doing it anymore. My wife always gets a little chuckle when I check the audio options to see if it is there before starting a movie.
