DVD-A and DTS discs

BazMan · 07-01-2006, 7:40 PM

I've bought a few of these now and they're all both DVD-A and DTS compatible. Is this the case with all DVD-A's? The DTS bit is not always mentioned in the description and I don't want to buy incompatible discs.

While we're on the subject, who decided that DVD-A/DTS discs would come in a case which is neither DVD sized nor CD sized? Have I got to buy another storage rack?

Most dvd-a's have a dts track but not all of them. Fleetwood mac's Rumors dvd-a doesn't have a dts track.
I quite like the super jewel cases that they come in - makes them stand out a bit from normal cd's.

Yeah, by about 2 inches on my CD rack...

Not all DVD-A discs have a DTS soundtrack, but if it doesn't then it will have a Dolby Digital track instead. Therefore all DVD-A discs can play on any DVD player, wheather it is DVD-A compatable or not.

I think it's a bit of a pity that normal CD's don't use a similiar or same rugged case.
