Universal to Embrace DTS-HD Master Audio
By Mark Fleischmann
May 2, 2008 — Universal will support lossless DTS-HD Master Audio in many of its
initial Blu-ray releases.
According to The Man Room—which took the initiative and asked about it—Universal's first Blu-ray discs with DTS-HD MA will include The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, and The Scorpion King. All of these titles were previously released on HD DVD with Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 audio tracks, but not Dolby TrueHD tracks, notes the website, adding:
"Universal went on to tell us that the game plan moving forward is for DTS-HD Master Lossless to become the Blu-ray standard at the studio. Obviously there will be exceptions, but it looks like the majority of titles, and probably all new theatrical titles, will include DTS-HD."
