Here's my dts titles...ready for our production...still scanning for very good chapters, potential titles includes:

1. The Lord of the Rings Platinum Extended Trilogy
2. I Robot
3. Die Another Day
4. Saving Private Ryan
5. Pearl Harbor
6. The Mask of Zorro
7. The Fifth Element
8. The Mummy UE
9. Minority Report
10. Die Hard 1 & 2
11. Hulk
12. X-Men1.5
13. X-Men2
14 Terminator 3
15. Daredevil Director's Cut
16. Top Gun

Contributed:

17. Hero
18. Gladiator
19. The Rock
20. Blade II
21. Cliffhanger
22. Band of Brothers
23. Titan A.E.
24. Atlantis
25. U-571
26. Jurassic Park
27. Spider-man
28. Black Hawk Down
29. dts demo disk #4 & 8
30. 3-disk HT demo
31. dts demo disk 5, 7 & 9
 

Sobra sobra na ito for a single disk dts. Pero we're still looking for the following to make our collection "BEST".

1. Other part in Jurassic Park Trilogy
2. Kill Bill 1 & 2
3. Spider-man2 Superbit
4. Terminator 2
5. Air Force One
6. Day After Tomorrow
7. Independence Day

My plan is to get only one chapter in each movie mentioned above. In one blank dvd, we can make up to 35 chapters or 1hr and 20 mins but depends on how long the chapter runs. Average run based on my chapter sample: 3 min. Other runs only for 1 minute, others 2, 4...because I trimmed it kaya action kaagad...wala nang usap usap. 

For dolby digital disk nman,

Here's we can get from my collection:

1. Starwars Ep 1 &2
2. Incredibles
3. Harry Potter 2
4. Hellboy
5. Wild Wild West
6. Other titles which Im not sure of good chapter


Looking for:
1. Godzilla
2.

Ano kya magandang gawin dito sa 2nd disk? Insert nlang sa dts to make a complete two-disk collection or separate disk each format?

PM ko nlang yung mga nagcommit ng titles for confirmation. By the way, for those who contributed above dts titles, if you have dvd-writer, you may back it up into two blank disk para un nlang back-up ang mahiram ko. Mahirap kc maghawak ng original na di sa akin...lam nyo na...nagiingat lang poe.

I'll start working on this project because editing is not easy. Please comment on the two format, because we lack dolby digital titles. Thanks.

I have Godzilla, Air force one superbit, T2 DTS-ES, gagamboy 2 superbit and DAT. ID4 still sealed  :(, but the nuclear explosion in Resident Evil Apoc. is just as good as the ID4 invasion

Since DTS demo disk 9 was contributed, there is no need for Kill Bill 1 & 2 and Hero, which is already included in Demo Disk 9.

Maybe we can include dolby digital to dts, isingit nlang natin, then we can make two disk because we have lot dts titles. Sa LOTR trilogy lang may doble na. Any suggestion?

The canon shots and the battle scenes in Master and Commander in either DTS or DD is definite showcase material for LFE and surround.  

The stampede scene in Lion King SE using Disney's Enhanced Home Theater Mix  DD track is perhaps one of the liveliest full-range surround sound you can get sustained for almost the entire chapter.

Almost all the chapters in the Perfect Storm in DD has a lively surround and LFE activity on the storm's ravaging onslaught.

Totally forgot about The Patriot.  I do recall the musket and canon shots gave lively surrounds and LFE activity.

Hey guys, I'm currently doing a project, a home theater demo disk. It's a two-disk packed in a double amaray case. Disk one is for dts and the second is for dolby digital. Actually it is a compilation of selected dts and dd movies chapter, and my plan is to produce 12 copies only. This is free but I require a payment for the materials I used in the productions such as 2 dvd blanks, double amaray case, label if you want to have it.

Currently, 12 copies already reserved to the following members:
1. kt
2. backdraft
3. sanmig_ph
4. leomar
5. dexterc
6. MAtZTER
7. agmjr
8. platinum
9. dunforgiven
10. edboy7
11. av_phile1
12. danrd

For those interested to contribute a title, you still have chance because I found difficulties meeting other member listed above. To those who sent me a PM, (no. 13 below) please remember your number I gave because priority will be given to those whose next in line and can contribute many titles specially for dolby digital disk.

If you want to share your title, meeting place is at the following places:
1. Glorietta
2. Greenbelt
3. 6811 Ayala

I'm sorry but do not expect me to go to your place because I'm alway in the office. If you can back-up your dvd into two blank dvd, do it because as you know, it is difficult to handle original dvd not own. For reference, see listings above for dts and dolby digital already contributed. If you trust me, when we met, I'll give you my cell no, home address, province address, office address, multiple telephone number if you want. I'm only doing this project because I want to have demo disks too. And the only problem is the titles. God bless.
More titles coming soon...

I did that too before, but later I got tired from opening each DVD and forwarding each to the best LFE & surrounds scenes to my guests. So I ended up getting 2 Demo disks  ;D.

Actually , sobrang sulit sa akin mga demo disks, I have played them the most often among my collection. Like I said in another post, I use the loud LFE scenes in the demo disks as my stress reliever..  ;D
bro san ako makakabile ng demo disc  :'(

My wife has a small collection of korean horror dvds thats in dts and has good surrounds kaya lang horror sya parang yung moomoo nasa likod mo ha ha ha.really want to offer what i can. :-[
