The scene after the Mask trashes the car garage when the copper is questioning Ipkiss at the door of his flat. It's not colour flash, but the whole scene is just full of line dropouts and audio distortion. It's looks like my Ace Ventura When Nature Calls Ld. So strange as it happens on just one chapter. Never seen anything like this on a disc before. How long does it last?

Titles like Volcano and Strange Days aren't worth the extra because there's very little noticeable difference between the Dolby Digital sountrack and the DTS soundtrack. I've got the Strange Days DTS disc and I think it sounds great, but what really steals the show for me on that disc is the picture quality; it's up there as one of the best in my opinion. However I haven't seen the AC3 disc so I don't know how they compare.

On "Strange Days," the final 2.5 minutes of the discussion with Kathryn Bigelow that are at the beginning of side 2 on the AC3 edition are missing from the DTS edition. As for "The Mask", my copy does not exhibit any audio or video issues. Mine is "A04". Perhaps I have a corrected copy?

Its like Sony DADC pressed that one chapter on the disc. elahrairrah wrote: Also titles that aren't big booming soundtracks with explosions and such like comedies and dramas aren't really worth the upgrade either. True. I have the Happy Gilmore DTS Laserdisc and while the sound mix is good, its not as impactful as say Con Air or True Lies. hippiedalek wrote: I've got the Strange Days DTS disc and I think it sounds great, but what really steals the show for me on that disc is the picture quality; it's up there as one of the best in my opinion.

The Ac3 disc is known for having good picture but I'm sure the DTS release is just as good or better. blam1 wrote: As for "The Mask", my copy does not exhibit any audio or video issues.

When it comes to movies that were new-ish when they hit LD you’ll usually (probably always) find that they use the same master for DTS. They usually came out less than a year apart based on a nine month old movie...not a lot of reason to redo anything.
