Just burned this and had a quick listen  - fantastic!

Since I don't have a Blu-ray burner (just yet) I used a 720p rip and burned it to a DL DVD - luckily there were no problems marrying the video and audio files, but I had to drop the original DTS track to make room (a bit of a shame, since it would have been fun to do some A/B comparisons).

My kit isn't fancy at all, indeed my receiver (Yamaha RX-V365) isn't HD capable (despite the presence of HDMI). I'll upgrade one day, but for now the core DTS is impressive enough - a genuinely cinematic sound with tremendous atmosphere and punch.

Thanks to all involved - let's hope to see more projects like this (and if anyone in this discussion has any ideas on extracting the 5.1 AC-3 from the THX Alien laserdisc, please weigh in on the other thread!)

What I did was made 2 separate versions...using MKV as the container.  This made it easier to compare the 2.  BOTH are awesome.  I would like to think that "anyone" here that has some of these theater DTS CD-roms would now consider sharing them for other movies so folks have an alternative to the soundtracks already available.

This IS the way I like to watch this movie now.....
