found this little titbit over at LDDB

http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/09310/43118/Waterworld-(1995)

A 4.0 channel DTS theatrical mix that was remixed to 5.1 at DTS insistence for the DTS LaserDisc release.

That info was added by the very knowlegable disclord over there

 

I know the first release DVD had a 5.0 Dolby Digital track but later releases added an upmixed .1 LFE channel

 

anyone have the DTS CD-Roms for this?

hello, hope this helps You, I asked a guy who done the theatrical mix for Waterworld and he wrote this:

"When we mix for a film, we mix in a discrete mode, that being, we monitor without the Dolby or DTS matrix inserted into the monitors. For "Waterworld" we created a 5.1 mix for four formats: Dolby Digital, DTS, and SDDS and the 2 trk LT RT . I have no idea what happens once the project leaves for DVD mastering. It's done somewhere else, and sometimes not even on the studio lot. It's possible that the DVD made into a 5.0 was generated from the 2 trk Print Master."
