The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly In Aus, A Fist Full of Dollars and A For a Few Dollars more were just released with DTS tracks, is there any plans to release The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly with a DTS track, or a new boxed set. I'm using all my willpower to hold off.

But how good can a DTS soundtrack be from a source as old as that?  I would never buy such a old movie for only a DTS soundtrack.  A soundtrack is only as good as the source material.

i dont know if anyone knows this or not, but the Good the Bad and the Ugly is actually an instructional video on how to be a real man

I still remain unconvinced that the majority of DTS tracks actually sound any better to the human ear than their DD counterparts. I know that according to the laws of physics and computing, DTS is the better format, but either most studios neglect to actually capitalize on this or the human ear is incapable of hearing the difference. The difference between an MP3 file when compaired directly to a final production CD track is negligable, and the compression rate is much higher than it is from DD to DTS.

I have been a musician for most of my life, and spent time mastering audio CDs with a friend of mine who is an honest pro at it, I'd like to think that my ears are sensitive enough to tell. However, all those years of playing punk rock in tiny clubs may have taken its toll, I may be totally talking out of my ass.

Also, it depends on what your using to playback the source. DTS contains more information which takes up more room on a DVD than DD.  What I've experianced with some DTS movies, is larger dynamic range, depending on how well it is mixed.  I would prefer a good DTS mix over extra features any day. Unfortunatly the movie industry prefers to put previews, etc., over quality sound on many releases.
