After discovering the fantastic world of myspleen, my creativity awakes suddenly and said "I want to do more..." (regarding my next project, "SET ruLes")... so, I downloaded the 1997 SE DTS audio tracks, and began to experiment with them...

The first, simple thing I've done, is this: I took the first ANH reel WAV PCM 44.1khz 16bit files - six discrete channels - then merged them into a single WAV PCM converted to 48khz 16bit, and finally reconverted them to DTS 5.1 48khz 16bit 1536kbps.

The result track seems almost the same of the original PCM WAVs (say, 99%?) accordit to the Audacity comparison "by eye" I made, apart a little volume reduction of the LFE (I think less than 2dB) due to the audio converter.

So, here you are the file - sendspace (warning: 218MB); is there someone who'd like to test it on his DTS audio system, and tell me what does he think (especially if the channel positions are right - this is my main concern)?

The original file must be at 24fps, where the NTSC 1997 version should be at 23.976fps, so take it in account if you mux the track with your video... at the end of the reel, the audio would be desynchronized for 28 frames, a little bit than a second.

If this resulting file is right, I could use the DTS soundtrack for my next project... yes, I know that one of the [OUT ruLes] project statement said no digital source could be used, but, hey, rules are made to be broken! (^_^) and, by the way, those DTS tracks were meant to be used only in theaters, and not released for home use, so the rule is only half broken... well, the solution is ready: as this will be the [SET ruLes] project, the only thing I have to do is change that rule, is that simple...
