It is an indicator that discs may be available though.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

Some froms such a Disney have had an english optical track and a Spanish DTS track.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-02-2005 02:16 PM                        English-language prints are often "rejuvenated" and sent overseas after their initial release. If the DTS time code is on the print, the distributor may decide to provide DTS disks for the foreign language, or they may opt to just subtitle the prints.  |  IP: Logged
