Are there any DTS 7.1 tiltles on dvd ?

[MasterChief]

Yes, I do and I would put Dan L Fedric Jr in that category. The 'EX' you are talking about is Thx Ultra 2 and it is a matrix decoding format, just like the others described. There are no discrete 7.1 movies in any format! Do some research on your own before making a fool of yourself.

What my friend here is trying to say is THERE IS NO DVD WITH SEVEN CHANNELS RECORDED.(Encoded).You gotta understand the difference between Discrete and Matrix. DD EX is a Matrix recorded in 5 Channels and the reciever's DD decoder will output 5,6 or 7 channels, (depending on your configuration. but the 6 and 7's channels are only mixed from the surrounds.
On the otherhand DTS has two forms DTS-ES discrete abd DTS Matrix.
The Matrx works the same way. DTS ES Discrete actually has one more channel recorded on dvd making it 6.1. and if u have a 7th speaker watever u get in the 6th will be mixed with the 7th. So basically there is No 7.1 DVD its ur reciever doing the magic its almost like pretend. DTS is the only format with an actual 6th channel and that as far as it will go remember 7th is matrixed.

There will be

Even though there aren't any known 7.1 movies, I couldn't help but notice some info about the Blu-Ray. I'm a big Playstation fan so when I started reading about what kind of balls under the hood the PS3 has. they informed that their Blu-Ray will support 7.1 encoded formats. So if they have 7.1 recievers AND 7.1 PLAYERS, it's only common sense that in a matter of time, there WILL be 7.1 MOVIES

I picked up Kingdom of Heaven and it has a DTS-HD track on it, which should be 7.1. Unfortunately, my receiver doesn't have HDMI so I wouldn't know if it actually IS 7.1.....

OK, so let us just say for the record, there are no STANDARD DVDs that are 7.1 and there likely never will be.

What do you mean it should be 7.1?? The Blu-ray Kingdom of Heaven disc doesn't have 7.1 audio channels (I assume that's the one you're talking about). It does have a DTS-HD master audio track, but it's 5.1.

Am I missing something?

I thought the packaging said 7.1, and the dts website only listed 7.1 for Master Audio tracks (but then says 8ch MAX, and doesn't say if there would be 5.1). On my system, it is only 5.1 anyway

 

[Dolby CP-200]

I was speaking to Julian Pin Dolby Labs UK a few weeks ago about the possibilities of having five-screen, if you can get up to 7.1 channels for Dolby True, then I can see multiple possibilities with encoding and decoding.

But in the meantime where you might have dts-ES why not think like this ok! Get yourself a few extra stereo amplifiers Dolby pro-logic decoders and re-plug the surrounds using dts-ES and if you can get more out of it.

I’ll bet you £1.00 pound I could!

If you use the 8 channel EXT-IN on most 7.1 receivers then it will be descrete 7.1(you just need a player that has 7.1 decoding and 8 analogue outputs and a disc with a 7.1 track)

On the other hand HDMI(all versions) can handle 8 channel 192khz PCM(and some HD players can output it, some not yet, they may need a firmware upgrade) so the question is whether or not current 7.1 receivers can accept this over HDMI(I have a thread about this here)

Here are a couple of 7.1 Blu Ray DVD's

1.) The Golden Compass - Blu Ray
2.) Narnia Price Caspin - Blu Ray

I enjoyed these two Blu Ray films

Yeah, 7.1 sounds great.

The thread is about DVDs not Blu-ray, and it is VERY old.

I concur with garcia. But old it may be this was a very amusing threat to read start to finish. At first i didn't realize the age of this post and after the first page I almost hit the reply button and let into "you ***** IDIOT! " At the last second I glanced a date a began laughing.

Sleeping Beauty is now in Blu Ray DTH HD Master 7.1 and sounds incredible. Pinnochio also is available on Blu Ray DTS HD Master 7.1

There have been 7.1 titles on Blu-ray for over a year already.

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT DVD NOT BLU-RAY. Not to mention that it is TWO YEARS OLD.

 

[Alex2507]

Not to mention that it is 4 1/2 YEARS OLD.

~fixed~

 

[j_garcia]

Well, last actual discussion was 2007, but yes the thread is a lot older than that

<< There are no dicrete 7.1 mixes in any format. >> Then why there are 7.1 receivers ?

Well Go look up the Yamaha RX-Z11. Once you do that you can ask where the 11.2 movies are.

 

[Lordoftherings]

Sound mixes from the big studios.

^ He is right, Movies are mixed in 5.1 discrete channels. The two additional rear channels are derived from the surround channels.
So, even if a Blu-ray says 7.1-channel DTS-HD MA soundtrack, it was originally mixed
as a 5.1-channel discrete sound mix.

I bet a lot of people did not know that.

Not all movies, right? According to AH's latest article, there are movies mixed in 6.1 and 7.1.
