the theatrical tracks are mixed in a way so that they could be downmixed to 2channel, why, for the backup of the digital tracks in the theater, so it does not sound horrablie when the analog comes on, I'm not saying it's seamless, but it's done well enough.

That's a seperate analog 2-channel mag track. A specific stereo mix. There's no fold-down in theatrical. Dolby Digital is a digital optical track, while DTS simply carries timecode for running the DTS CD-ROM. If the digital track is damaged, the system goes over to the stereo mag.

that make no sense, how would listening to the arrows make me know it's modified?
|
Arrow sounds are very high pitched, and the crushing of very high-end frequencies are one of the first things you do to make it fold down well for TV speaker playback.

people have always believed that the dts track is the same as the dts in the cinema, this is completly untrue, the digital formats in theaters will almost always use the exact same tracks
|
I'm not quite sure what you're saying here. While theatrical DTS is a different codec than home theater DTS, the mix is what's at issue, not the codec.

these "home theatre mixes" are what the dts tracks would use if the producers of the disc choose to have a dts track, ie The Lion King, in R1 the home theatre mix was encoded in dolby digital while in R2 it was encoded in a dts track, besides disney, i know of no studios that have put out more than a few of these type of mixes

They're not always marked. New Line does it on almost all their titles.
Again, this is not a format war issue. It's an issue of you not giving correct information based on a misunderstanding.
