Just a comment to say I listened to the Jurassic Park DTS mix over the weekend - via 3 AVCHD encoded dvd-rs on my blu ray player decoding and feeding pcm over hdmi to a decent Yamaha amp driving Monitor Audio RS1 speakers - no sub unfortunately.

Having seen the film on original release, vhs and tv I don't have a modern home video frame of reference. But I can say that it sounded very impressive. Even at a fair bit lower than reference level, the velociraptor snort during the opening sequence of the film had the impact that I remember from the cinema. Which is certainly not present on the vhs or tv showings..! Likewise the rain and other sound effects had a vividness and clarity in the mix that showed you were listening to something a bit different.

Have to give thanks to borisanddoris and ElDonante for the archiving and Jetrell Fo for the direction on where to get it. Thanks guys.

I went with a 720p AVCHD version of Bluray for home viewing....

I set the format of the 720p to 23.976 and I set the audio delay @ -140ms...this was of course for the DTSHD track.  I also set the language to English and set the flag to yes.  Let's MKverge run without error codes regarding this.  

Jettrell why did you do this? I didn't set any audio delay on my mux (used tsMuxer) and it seems fine...?
