It was always tighter sound...a DTS disc was a treat and usually a bit more money

I was 6 years old and scared in the theater lol

They still are a fantastic codec. I think we're returning to the era of the early 2000s now with Atmos and DTS:X. DTS:X tracks usually sound better in my opinion.

Thank you!

Glad I could help!

DTS has always sounded amazing. I’m glad the company worked with me on this video.

What do you want to know?

@@MovieUniversity I have been researching film v digital for over a year now, I have a lot of documents, links, charts and stuff about all aspects of film (from 16mm-70mm ). If you want to make a video about film projection, I can email you everything I have. ( love your videos! 🎬 )

Thanks, do you have it on a Google Drive folder? I'd love to check your stuff out sometime.

@@MovieUniversity I can set one up specifically for film. Most of it is just way too many bookmarks in Firefox 😅

@@MovieUniversity history of these formats and the future. Will film projection make a comeback ?

Believe me, nobody wants this channel to be bigger than I

@@MovieUniversity Ive shared this vid with a few people who I know will love it. Good luck with the future fella - all the best!

@@MovieUniversity I'm sharing this video in my newsletter next month, and posting it to my LinkedIn channel today (and since I just discovered the channel, I'm now a subscriber, too).

I’m working on a video with THX to make a history of their company right now. Will be at least two months before it’s done though

@@MovieUniversity Wow! That’s great. Can’t wait to watch it.

I'm working with THX to do a history of the company video with them. What all specifically are you interested in?

@@MovieUniversity I would like to know how THX certified systems hold up against the non-s, both in home theatres as well as regular theatres and how differently they are engineered. There are no much theatres in India with THX. There is one in Bangalore which is quite old and still deliver an enthralling experience.

Oki.

They're pretty good!

I have a massive Blu-Ray discs collection and over 99% of them have DTS HD-MA encoded soundtrack. I would have a hard time sorting out through them to find a DOLBY TRUE-HD encoded release.

Me too. Only a 5.1 stalwart and a DTS enthusiast since DVD era. Best regards from Brazil !!!

Blu Ray and 4K UHD only

@@MovieUniversity Thanks for the info.. It's exactly as i thought.

I wouldn’t necessarily say they’ve fallen behind. I feel like they’ve diversified in more fields of audio than Dolby. While you’ll see Dolby in a lot of movie related areas of entertainment, DTS has their technology in cars, radios DLNA, Alexa and other areas people don’t realize.

@@MovieUniversity My laptop has DTS sound...

DTS hasn't fallen behind, it's just Dolby is super aggressive slapping on the "Dolby Atmos" name on as many products as possible (ie. Smartphones, Tablets, Soundbars, Headphones). This makes Dolby more "popular" as a house-hold name, however the best DTS:X mix still sounds better than the best Dolby Atmos mix.

SDDS would be pointless now we have Atmos

Not any more anyways. I think the last time I saw a THX logo at the start of a movie was for Toy Story 2.

For the sake of argument, why do you want that track and not the new DTS one?

@@MovieUniversity the new 7.1 and DTS X mixes have good fidelity, but they are very much a remix, with lots of subtle and not so subtle changes done. Given the original mix's historical significance, the awards it won, etc., it should be preserved and available. Jurassic Park isn't the only film to be in this situation: films are constantly getting releases with remixed sound that is in no way the same as their original theatrical experience. From an art history/film preservation perspective, that's wrong. The original theatrical 6 track has a very different balance and to me, does sound better than the two new remixes. On a personal level too, when you grow up hearing the film sound a certain way, hundreds of times, you want to continue hearing it that same way. The new mixes don't capture that and it just ruins the experience. I will say I believe some of the streaming versions I've heard on iTunes, Peacock, etc. seem to have the 5.1 mix albeit probably adjusted from its original ferocity. The DTS LaserDisc, the AC3 LaserDisc, and the actual theatrical DTS 6 track are really the way to go.

@@popcornbobGCC I reached out to someone at DTS on this. Off the top of their head and without checking, this person said you're probably right. The original 5.1 is not available for a variety of reasons. Over the years, Universal will have adjusted certain things on the soundtrack with subsequent releases to improve the sound from their perspective. When this is done it costs money. So when it comes to releasing products and there's limited room available on a disc or server, they're choose the version they just spent money on versus something older. Because Jurassic Park was such an iconic movie and it was a Steven Spielberg one at that, it is more than likely that the studio would only have changed the audio track with permission from Spielberg himself. Which means he liked the new version he heard. Hope this helps.

@@MovieUniversity That's really disappointing too. These filmmakers are just throwing away history by revisiting their work years after the fact and not preserving original versions. I've always been ok with directors cuts, alternate versions, etc. as long as the original version of the film is preserved, both sound and picture. I don't buy for a second the limits on disc space: you could put a 384kbps AC3 track with the original mix on there and it would take up just under 400MB of disc space. AC3 at that bitrate is perfectly fine too so long as you throw a good mix on it. Shoot, the studios are even forgetting to offer original mono or stereo mixes, which take up even less space, while only offering re-mixes. Preservation is important for all art forms, especially cinema where it is so amazingly simple to make a change in the name of revisionism, even if it is the original director. And just think how it feels as a foley artist or sound engineer working on a picture of this magnitude having their final project thrown out for the sake of shiny and new? I guess if they want to do this, ok, but just make sure historians and film fans alike can get the original, unchanged. Don't pull a George Lucas and try to literally erase a film as it was originally released.

There was was re-print of the DVD which has now a red rectangle around the little box with the technical specs of the disc instead of black. Found this one very close to the LD-Version I once owned. Has astonishing LFE!

Usually no, not in the theater. IMAX does custom tracks for their auditoriums.

Oh how I know that feeling. My neighbour was playing his micro system quite loud one day and I asked him to turn it down a bit because I was watching TV and I was finding it irritating to watch it with his crappy taste in music interfering with my sound. I was polite when I asked him and he replied "What are you going to do about it if I don't!" Well, What he didn't know is that Have a 600W RMS full Stack system which could peak at 1200W and so I force fed him some of my taste in music at full blast in 5.1. He jumped out of his skin and ran out of his house and there was me waiting with my remote in hand with a big smile on my face. I paused it and said to him "That's what I'll do! Are you going to turn it down now?". He didn't say a word and went back into his house and turned it down. My system must have gone through his entire house. I know for a fact that My sound completely drowned out his crappy little micro stereo. His couldn't have been any more than 100W peak. I made him and his whole house jump. He wasn't expecting that. I still have a smile on my face as I'm writing this. That's how you deal with noisy neighbours. Play them at their own game. Or in our case, Don't even try!

Me too!

On DVD the Dolby Digital 5.1 track was quite low-bitrate of 448 kb/s while DTS had at least 768 kb/s and some titles had 1.5 Mb/s. Especially the higher bitrate DTS tracks sounded clearly superior to DD 5.1 The Omaha beach chapter of Saving private Ryan is still demo worthy in terms of impact 🙂

@@cinepaulis OH YES! This was my go to piece for my 11 year old nephew's virgin DTS experience. He was left speechless. He'd never heard sound like that before from a movie. I don't think he'll ever watch another movie at home and look at in the same way again. His second DTS movie was T2 Special Edition. I've got a few more lined up for him to watch like the Die Hard Trilogy, Lethal Weapon Trilogy and Jurassic Park but I think that Saving Private Ryan converted him over to the dark side of movie viewing. He's never going back now!

Agreed!

Why is that

@@pureluck8767 u feel the sound difference

​@@pureluck8767dts is highest bitrate and dts stored in cd same audio quality from 1 day what you hear u can hear at 100 days but dolby digital audio codec on sprocket holes they can cause damage to code after long run audio on some sounds are missed

And clearer. I'm never going back from DTS. Everything else just sounds dull and lifeless. DTS is the best development in cinema since colour film.

@@Kit_Bear dts has better bass and sub woofer sound you feeel the diffrent in dts

This is because of the higher bit rate which DTS uses.

@@MovieUniversity dts changed every thing gor home audio it sound better then a recording stuido sound does in the 80s

​@@MovieUniversityya correct, higher bit rate. Dts is most crystal clear bass & hi fq sounds.
