No details are avalable on discs from Regions 5 or 6. While the omission of a dts track on the Region 4 disc will be of supreme annoyance to many, its importance may be of limited value with this title as the Dolby Digital 5.1 track works very well. This feature is a showcase of filmmaking and not an audio-visual tour de force such as Gladiator where a dts track is far more important. The range of discs available around the globe is starting to give fans of this film a wide range of choices as to what features they might find interesting. There are some MPEG compression problems associated with the French and Dutch versions of the film, but both (especially the Dutch version) offer a large range of extra features. It is starting to get to the point where I might recommend multiple versions of this disc. The transfer quality of the Region 4 disc is good, but there isn't a huge range of extras available. Still, if you are in Region 4, I'd have no problem recommending the R4 disc, however, if dts is the be all and end all for you, then you may have to go for the U.S. or Dutch discs. I'll continue to try and bring the details of the various discs available worldwide as the come to hand.
