ArcSoft's TotalMedia Theatre nabs DTS Surround Sensation
No matter how you slice it, there will come a day when you'll be forced (or coaxed) into watching a Blu-ray flick with just two speakers or a set of cans. For those using ArcSoft's TotalMedia Theater, however, the audio playback should be pretty darn close to 5.1. Said Blu-ray playback application has just become the first in the software industry to grab DTS Surround Sensation certification, which promises to bring 5.1(ish) surround sound to listeners "using just two speakers or stereo headphones." A tad gimmicky, sure, but it's a feature we'd rather have at our disposal than not at all.

I don't know, I think I'd rather just a stereo mixdown than fake 5.1.
Still, I never judge something until I hear it, and I like to support DTS the underdog whose codecs are always superior to Dolby's anyway.

Does the latest version still support HD DVD?

Yes. It does.
