It's 768 dts, which is twice as lossy as regular lossy dts. If they put Dolby on there anyway, they should have upped that to 640 which would have beat the dts. But then Universal likes using dts. I wouldn't be surprised if they just wanted the dts logo on the back of the case to fool anyone who didn't check it carefully.
I ran the film in 6 track 70MM magnetic. The soundtrack was wall shaking!!
Laziness and/or stupidity are the usual culprits. Nobody will ever notice the difference. Wanna bet?? WE WILL!
How about Capitol releasing the original Magical Mystery Tour LP in faux Stereo on side 2? They had to get it out in time for Christmas 1967. Even more absurd was the Mofi LP box/individual MMT, which also features side 2 in duophonic dual-channel slop. Pre-CD, I bought a German LP of MMT. It's all stereo. The bass at the beginning of Baby You're a Rich Man is a revelation! It's tight in real stereo. It's even pretty tight on the mono CD's/LP's.

Sickening that MoFi would use the US "Duophonic" re-channel - all their releases are supposed to be from the "original master recordings", which, for MMT, it obviously was not. .
