Unfortunately, Mr. Little is right. Don't forget, studios are trying to make DVD's for the average Joe now more than ever. Frankly, I think it's a bunch of shit.
But here's the only thing I find wrong with the theory about the pan & scan space-saving thing. It is probably a true thing, but the only thing I have wrong with it is that the Extended Edition of Fellowship of the Ring will be fitting over two hours on the first disc and will include a DTS-ES soundtrack, a Dolby Digital EX soundtrack, and four commentaries. Monster's Inc. isn't nearly over two hours, and if they're fitting all of that crap on the FOTR first disc, then it's very far fetched that they're not able to fit a DTS track on a disc for an hour and a half movie in addition to a Dolby track.
Oh, I just thought of something else that they might be trying to do. If there was a lot of stuff on the disc, the DTS track would take up too much room and the transfer would suffer. That might have been a concern, but it's highly unlikely. Or maybe it's not. I don't know. Use your best judgement.
