Many thanks for this interesting comparison. So which one do you consider to be "closer to the truth"? Whereas some prefer the LD mix, others claim it to be "cooked".

In any case, I really wonder why they always have to fiddle with the soundtracks. Technically, they easily could have just copied the DTS data from the LD and put it into the VOB container on the DVD.

Well, not technically. LD DTS is sampled at 44.1 kHz, whereas a DVD requires 48kHz sampling. The LD DTS format is closer to DTS CD, but the frame headers are slightly different.

Do you mean DTS CD as in the audio discs that were done in the late 90s, the theatrical DTS CDs? I thought the DTS Audio CDs and the DTS audio on LDs was the same?

DTS audio CDs. They are essentially the same, but there a some differences in the format of the frame headers that make the LD flavor of DTS largely unable to be decoded by software decoders.

Well technically it is possible even if it is in violation of the DVD-Video standard. However you are right that in order to comply, at least resampling would be required, yes.

However, but my point rather was that there would be actually no need for any other changes or remixing.
