But if done poorly or over-compressed, the audio may lose fidelity. If done properly, the end result should sound seamless to the listener. In theory, the data removed should consist mainly of either frequencies beyond the range of human hearing or frequencies that would normally be masked by other frequencies in the track anyway. Before making it to disc, each format selectively filters out data from the studio's digital audio master using perceptual encoding techniques. The reality of the situation is that both Dolby Digital and DTS are capable of delivering very good, sometimes even exceptional sound quality on DVD.īoth Dolby Digital and DTS are 'lossy' compression codecs. Sometimes that's true and sometimes not, but that's a discussion topic for another day. Though it hasn't always panned out that way in actual practice, there is a perception in the DVD marketplace that DTS is the 'better' sound option that will provide greater fidelity to the source. DTS is optional, and is generally considered (fairly or not) an added-value feature. The DVD spec requires all discs to contain either a Dolby Digital or PCM soundtrack as the base standard (pretty much everyone uses Dolby), and all DVD players are required to decode both. A small number of discs (mostly music concerts) may provide 2-channel PCM audio, but those are few and far between.

Both can accommodate movie soundtracks from monaural 1.0 to multi-channel 5.1, and in some cases add a matrixed center back channel as well (DTS also offers a discrete 6.1 option on selected titles). On Standard-Def DVD, there are essentially only two competing sound formats to choose from: Dolby Digital or DTS. It doesn't help that the companies who designed these sound formats (Dolby and DTS) haven't always been clear in their labeling or naming conventions.

It seems that most early adopters can easily identify the benefit of a High Definition picture over Standard-Def DVD, but making sense of the difference between Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD, or PCM and TrueHD is a lot harder to get a good grasp on. If there's one request we get here at High-Def Digest more than any other, it's to help readers sort through all the confusion swirling around the new audio formats that come on HD DVD and Blu-ray discs.

HFPA is encoded as 24-bit/96 kHz or 24-bit/192 kHz linear PCM (' high-resolution audio'), optionally losslessly compressed with Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio. Launched in 2013 as a potential successor to the compact disc (CD), it has been compared with DVD-Audio and SACD, which had similar aims.
