Why isnt DTS a standard?

wow, it doesn't support LC-AAC also... + AC3 is limited to 2 channels
In that case it is better to re-encode the audio track to 2 channel MP3 rather than AC3, because AC3 will give worse quality than MP3.

Get a proper Home Theater. one that supports Dolby True HD and DTS HD. else get a cheap media player that can run Plex or XBMC.

Your TV sucks, nothing else to say or do about it really.
 
Yeah look not really surprised that a TV has lousy format support. Just get a media player of some kind - they are inexpensive these days.

I wouldnt say it "sucks" and I am student, I'm broke at the moment. In the lounge we have a fancy Home theater that can play DTS but the TV is 10 years old and it doesnt have a USB slot. All I have in my room is the TV and PS3, nothing else.

The ripper of that movie was armature, PublicHD Rip movies with 2 Audio streams to avoid this issue as you can see.

I just used MKV2AC3 which converted the DTS audio stream to AC3 in a matter of minutes. Epic program!
 
If I was a manufacturer, I wouldn't even put speakers in the set - let alone support an audio codec that I need to pay license for.
 
I stand corrected, but I think there is a cost involved for manufacturers wanting to enable DTS passthrough. I guess some just don't want to pay ? My LG 50" doesn't pass thru DTS audio. My Dad's Samsung, which was bought at the same time, does, although it's mixed down to a 2 channel analog stereo track obviously. Doesn't bother me because I have an AVR. Dolby has long been a general overall standard, for decades in fact, both in music and video and is supported by everything, going back to the VHS days when films adopted the Dolby Stereo format. DTS was only introduced in 1993, if memory serves me correct. Jurassic Park was the first feature film to utilize it, and I think Spielberg also had a lot to do with it.
