Do "we" have the cinema DTS for this film?

[spoRv]

"We" do, still waiting for it; as it would have the same size of the actual DTS track, whenever it will be available it will be just a matter of demux/remux!

"We" got the Cinema DTS track, thanks to our friend Jetrell Fo

I put roughly the first reel in sync with BD DTS core (from DTS-HD MA) track, just to get comparable results; they are pretty the same, according to waveforms on Audacity; Cinema DTS has surround tracks more alive, while BD usually has the sub track hotter - even if sometimes it's muted, while live onto Cinema DTS.

So, even if they are pretty similar, with the "remastered" version I have in mind, using a BD-50, I think it would be nice to have both DTS-HD MA and Cinema DTS, don't you think?

Last thing: its phase is inverted in comparison to BD, I don't think it's a problem per se, so I would leave it "as is".

Cinema DTS has surround tracks more alive, while BD usually has the sub track hotter - even if sometimes it's muted, while live onto Cinema DTS.

If I understand you correctly, the LFE channel usually goes deeper on the BD, but there are stretches in which it's active.  In that case, a hybrid track might be feasible – something like I did with MaC.

I'm curious about the phase inversion.  What's that all about?

With Waterworld, I used the HD-DVD LFE channel because the lack of it on the Cinema DTS one; but for this, I'd prefer to leave the track untouched, as there will be both tracks available.

Inversed phase: when Cinema DTS track has a peak, the BD track has a depression, and vice versa; not a problem indeed - until you would replace a single subtrack, as I did with Waterworld; in that case, I changed the phase of the replaced LFE - or the contary? It's the same, though.

That's the opposite that I found with The Dark Knight's Cinema DTS. It had deeper more powerful LFE then the BD's track. Although the BD's sounded more refined. Funny how that works.

Agree: analyzed also AVP few minutes ago; Cinema DTS has the LFE more active than BD; still inverted phase.

I still don't understand why the phase is inverted. There must be some explanation.
