The tech papers I have read also state it's a fixed compression of 4:1, whatever that means.

All I know is: Jurassic Park sounds PHENOMENAL!

I can personally attest to this, thanks again.

I have the Epsiode III discs, but they are not able to be ripped.

Too bad this couldn't be figured out.  I bet it would make a great alternative for folks who just enjoy movies and the experience that comes with it.  Having the SE DTS CD-roms audio would be a just as welcome a treat. 

I'd love to see them synched to the HD Broadcasts of the S.E. ..... it would be a perfect addition for all fans.

The owner of those discs, (SW and ROTJ) does not want to risk loaning them out again. (They were returned scratched up the last time.)

They are easily copied, and arrangements are being made to do so.

Here is to hoping an ESB DTS CD-rom comes out of hiding....  :)

Ebay is our best bet. I spotted several DTS CD's from a seller who didn't really know what they actually are. None of them were the SE's though.

I was tempted to ask if they had Empire, but also leery it could jack up the potential asking price...

Here is a question....would it be possible to sync the SE DTS stuff to the 2004 SE DVD's without issue?

I'd bet that MIB DTS sounds awesome too....and for that price I would have jumped on it.

Wasn't there a DTS MIB Laserdisc released though?

Could have sworn there was a Superbit release too.

I know that both MIB 1 & 2 had Superbit DVD treatments.

Last time discs for all 3 films popped up the price was $300 (about £190). Obviously that seller knew what he had.

I'm sure if donations would help such a cause folks here would help out with what they can.  I can understand if someone owning such discs would be hesitant to share especially considering the price tag above.  They are obviously not easy to come by.

Thanks for the link.

:)

I think Jetrell means if the discs for Empire ever pop up for sale again. We kind of need those. ;)

It is what I meant.  :)

Any interest in Episode One?

I'd be interested, but not at that price.  Talk about gouging!

 

If we could get it for even the $39.95 plus shipping wouldn't it be worth it?  I know a fair number of folks may not like TPM BUT as far as having an archive of a films Cinema DTS soundtrack....that especially since TPM's didn't make the DVD or Blu releases (probably due to the fact that they aren't the original theatrical release).

I'd be willing to donate a few bucks for the cause.

IIRC, there is a timecode printed on the edge of the film that syncs up with the DTS playback unit. (This is why the CD's have been useless by themselves until recently.) That's about as non-technical as I can say it.

Technical explanation here...
