I was having some unexpected difficulty getting the '97 DTS to sound correct, but I think I've pretty much nailed the calibration now. Part of the problem was my own mistake in setting up the signal flow, so once I realized the error, things went much more smoothly. I'll do a final listening test to make sure everything is in order, and then I'll send it over as a 5.1 DTS-HD MA.
Come to think of it, it would probably be a good idea to verify the synch before committing to it fully. Althor, if you can provide me with a Quicktime file of your video, I'll bring it in to my Pro Tools session and make sure it's all lined up at the reel changes. I don't need anything fancy in terms of pixel resolution or bitrate—a small standard definition file will do the trick. It just needs to have a frame rate of 23.976 since I've already converted the audio to play at this speed.
