Author Topic: What is Ultra Stereo exactly??? Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 09-22-2010 09:23 AM                     quote: Eric Robinson Your picture does not show that Dolby analog soundtrack is present. It does however show Dolby Digital which is a different soundtrack. (unless I'm horribly confused.) Unless this was normal for early dolby digital movies, the screen capture doesn't show anything about "digital" in the dolby logo that I could see.  |  IP: Logged Daniel Schulz Master Film Handler Posts: 387 From: Los Angeles, CA USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 09-22-2010 12:33 PM                        There always was a bit of confusion around DTS Stereo, in that it could refer to either the 2-channel (matrixed) DTS disc, or a DTS Analog 2-track on the print. The stereo discs died out very quickly; the market quickly adopted discrete 5.1 sound. DTS Stereo in its form as an analog soundtrack on the 35mm prints is very popular in some markets (France, Japan, India). It's fully compatible with the usual industry standard analog decoders (ours, Dolby, UltraStereo etc.) but arguably sounds better than modern Dolby SR tracks because it's not going through an AC3 encode/decode stage.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 09-22-2010 07:37 PM                     Since I'm doing screen-caps, here is another quite interesting example. Most films use just a dolby digital logo to signify that both dolby digital and dolby SR analog tracks are present but - The Last Days of Disco (1996) - the only example I can recall where they have put both dolby analog and digital logos.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 09-22-2010 11:31 PM                     quote: Michael Brown the only example I can recall where they have put both dolby analog and digital logos. Well there was that combo Spectral Recording Dolby Stereo Digital Logo that they used for a while on a lot of movies.  |  IP: Logged
