wuts the differnce in AC3 5.1-ch english and AC-3 2-ch english and DTS 5.1ch english??


i have gladiator in and i dont know what ones are better??

explain....

[andkiich]

DTS is better, but you have to have a DVD player and receiver to decode the DTS signal for it to be of any use.

Then it would be the AC3 5.1, followed by the AC3 2 channel.

[AeR0]

so i should use the DTS and the AC3 5.1????????

cause if i upgrade my home stereo?

[ZippyP.]

AC3 5.1 is 6 channel dolby surround, AC3 2-channel is stereo dolby.

You need a decoder for the full effect of DTS or AC3 5.1. If you don't have the decoder for AC3 5.1 it will be downsampled to stereo anyway. I say go AC3 5.1 now and if you upgrade your stereo later you're in good shape.

[AeR0]

yeah but the better you make the sound the more it has to compress the video correct???

[AarontheRipper]

yes and that's why you probably only want to keep the DD 5.1 and not both that and the DTS. It's hard to tell a difference between the two.

[AarontheRipper]

and the DD 5.1 will play in stereo if you don't have a surround system, while the dts won't.
