If you play it back on your computer, you need a DTS decoder(Media Player Classic comes with one and so do most Creative sound cards). If you play it back on a stand-alone, it must have a DTS decoder built in.

You probably have "Remove DTS" selected in the SETUP screen.

Odd that he said "DVD player worked fine," eh? Based on his followup I mean (which implied he indeed had it checkmarked). Maybe it included AC3 or he misspoke...

Ah, thought either I or he missed something there. It's what I get for having one of those sleepless nights...
