I can't tell you where I got them from or I would have to kill you. The good news is that Dolby is in the lead. Dolby Digital Worldwide 21498 Change 1137 N. America 10131 Change 550 Rest of World 11367 Change 587 DTS Worldwide 16914 Change 541 N. America 9685 Change 421 Rest of World 7229 Change 120 SDDS Worldwide 7134 Change 189 N. America 5856 Change 140 Rest of World 1278 Change 49  |  IP: Logged Stephen Jones Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: Geelong Victoria Australia Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-18-1999 09:44 PM                     Good to see Dolby in the lead in the digital race to be the leader as number one in digital sound.I personaly prefer Dolby Digital as I use it in cinema and at home on D.V.D. I did a Dolby course as a technical manager with the cinema chain I work for, they brought a tech over from Dolby in the U.K and he said then that Dolby was in the lead. The course was a very intresting one and has helped a few times when faults have occured. So come on Dolby!

Good to see Dolby and DTS are the leaders by a wide margin!  |  IP: Logged
