Can someone providing a very brief rundown on what is required to preserve one?
As I understand it:
- Player with SPDIF out.
- Computer with bit-perfect SPDIF in.
- Free software.
Y/N?
For laserdisc I would believe that to be sufficient.
Thanks! Just so you know, it really is spelled "Kombat" with a K. Not that I think there is a similar title in DTS floating around. ;)
Fixed and fixed, sorry for the mistake. :)
Somewhere I have an HD version of True Lies that was muxed to the D-Theater DTS track.
I don't know if that would fit what you're looking for or not. IIRC there was also a Japan DVD release with the DTS track and it might still be available if you're willing to brave Amazon.co.jp.

There used to be several other of the D-Theater DTS tracks floating around at HDBits.org if that is of interest.
Edit: Apologies, I'm assuming there is a particular reason you're looking for laserdisc rips in particular since I'm having no trouble finding several of the ones on your list available on DVD or BD releases.
Assuming one had an account @ HDBits, it would help. As for the LD rips, yes, folks are looking for them instead of DVD or BD audio due to remixed audio that may not have the same boom or splash it once did on Laserdisc or Theater viewings. Other DTS audio is cinema related and could offer the same and/or better results than the LD audio but it is harder to come by and to work with.
In the end, I thought this topic should have it's own thread to keep other threads on topic. If you come across some D-Theater DTS audio that might be of use here please let folks know. I know I'd enjoy an invite there if anyone has any available ...... ;)
