They released Lethal Weapon trilogy in DTS – very few otherwise. Did see an article somewhere that said Warner will be supporting DTS tracks on more futures titles.

Hey and not to forget WB charges the least for their DVDs... with Paramount leading the way and now recently Columbia tristar and Universal charging exhorbitant prices for their DVDs.

WB have released the following DD/DTS DVDs (as far as I can remember):

Twister
Interview with the Vampire
Lethal Weapon Trilogy

Wouldn't it have been cool to have a DTS Matrix DVD?


It seems all of Paramount's DVDs are MSRP $24.98 in the US, regardless of the popularity of the title or the number of supplements. Dreamworks set the MSRP of "Curse of the Jade Scorpion" at $32.98, a disc that doesn't have any special features because Woody Allen dislikes them. Columbia's discs aren't too badly priced. Most of their barebones DVDs are priced at $19.98, meaning you can find them for a bit less. But I did pay through the nose for "El Mariachi/Desperado," because it has two movies, but I didn't want "Desperado."

Warner has supposedly released only five titles with DTS. All five are catalog re-released titles with DTS. The titles include Twister & An Interview With The Vampire, in addition to Lethal Weapon, Lethal Weapon 2, Lethal Weapon 3.
Although earlier Warner had stated its support for DTS, the lack of subsequent releases is a clear indicator that Warner is really not serious about DTS. Even a mega release like 'Matrix' did not include a DTS track. Also it is stupid that while the first 3 Lethal Weapon films have been released with DTS, Lethal Weapon 4 does not have it.

By the way there is one additional Warner DVD with DTS, infact it is the only new release from Warner to include DTS and that is 'American Outlaws'. Therefore the grand total of Warner DTS DVDs released so far (or announced for that matter) is 6.

Ofcourse there are some more DTS DVDs from New Line which is a subsidiary company of Warner. In fact Warner had tried to stop New Line from putting DTS on their DVDs too, in addition to forcing them to use the horrible Warner covers (the name slips my mind right now). Anyhow New Line finally said to hell with Warner and not only is it putting out more and more DTS DVDs, they also seem to now be moving away from the Warner covers.

OOPS! Looks like DragunR2 beat me to the post while I took a break away from my PC and forgot to submit my post before the break.

they are called cardboard SNAPPER COVERS that pisses off most DVD Collectors. I started hating those covers lately when I tried to place my increasing DVD Collection on a Media Rack. Those suckers just mess up everything. Too bad I own lot of those Warner DVDs.

I too hate the way Warner Brother's package there DVDs. Because of there shit cardboard covers, I stacked a pile of my Hollywood DVDs ontop of my Heat Warner Brothers DVD and the weight of my other DVDs caused the the weak WB cover to break leading pressure to be forced down on one side of the Heat DVD resulting in a big scratch on the back of its DVD.
