I would like to know the difference between dolby digital music an DTS?
Question: i would like to know both in technical terms as well as laymans terms
Answers: ok dts is digital true surround that means digital decoder surround you need a receiver decoder recorded in each singular channel and the original source in dts (dvd dts and the original movie in dts) and Dolby digital is just a decoder with Dolby filter and your receiver make the split between channels.
Laymans term.
DTS has a better sound quality than dolby digital.
Electroboy- you're confusing Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro-Logic.
A Pro-Logic decoder uses a stereo signal to create a simulated surround sound effect (called a matrix).
Dolby Digital and DTS (Digital Theatre Systems) are both comprised of 6 individual channels (called discrete) of audio. The biggest and most obvious difference between the two is the bit-rate. Dolby Digital has a bit-rate of ~380 while DTS is well over 1000 bps. To put it in perspective, when you divide 380 by 6, each channel comes thru at less-than-mp3 quality sound. That's why Dolby Digital sounds like crap. DTS is far superior and the fact that it was not made the mandatory audio format for DVD's just goes to further prove that quality is constantly being replaced by convenience. The ONLY advantage that DD has is that it takes up less space on the disc, so the producers can fit all the more extra features that nobody ever watches anyway.

Dolby digital sound is technology that was developed for old LPs and cassettes that had some back ground noise that needed to be filtered out with that Dolby technology. DTS is a decoder technology that is in every make of 5:1 surround sound systems, car audio systems, home stereo etc. Go to dts.com to see it for yourself.
the technical definitions would probably bore you i'll just say that the dts is simply more dynamic than the dolby digital. the surround will be noticably more 'surrounding'. i always select dts over regular dolby if its available.
by the way, dts stands for digital theatre sound, a format which was developed to 'wow' a theatre audience with superior dynamic theatre sound. lots of fun! also, in case you listen to dvd audio, some recordings have tracks that only play if you have a dts player. eagle's 'hell freezes over' dvd version is a good example.
Same plate, different crap.
Dolby Digital and DTS are competing formats from competing companies, for surround sound formats.
There is a lot of opinion on which is better.
One thing a lot of people quote is the higher bit-rate of DTS, but that does not mean it's higher quality. what sounds better a 128kMP3 or a 128k WMA? same bitrate, different quality. The AC-3 codec used by Dolby is also quite efficient at compression, which makes it a bit slower.
Either way, both are good, I typically usually use DD unless there is only DTS available. DD is more widely supported.
IMO it is all about to become moot, since DTS HDMA and Dolby True HD are both lossless compression. I don't think (Although I don't know for sure) that either format with 8 losslessly compressed audio channels will be able to fill their maximum bandwidth alotted by current HD DVD/Blu-Ray standards. Myabe they will? But I kind of doubt that they will and if they do, I doubt you will be able to hear any difference.
