You failed to mention some things:

: DD = AC-3 = Dolby Digital =
: Five discrete channels - 3 fronts, 2 rears and discrete sub-woofer
: high compression ratio utilized to put all channel on media.

The "reigning king" for high-end home theater enjoyment. Much better sound delivery than "plain, old" ProLogic. :)

: DTS = Digital Theater Surround =
: Similar to DD but lower compression ratio, thus supposed to sound
: better.

The "Beta" (supposed) of high-end enjoyment. Unfortunately, the market is "rejecting" this format AND the DTS "consortium" has "changed the rules" with the compression, making EXISTING AND OLDER decoders INCOMPATIBLE with the "new format" (this was covered in an earlier thread in one of the fora :) ).
