Das Boot Superbit - German DTS

[David Meek]

Just thought I'd warn you. The Superbit DVD of Das Boot has only the German soundtrack in DTS. The English version is DD 5.1. Personally, on this movie I don't care. I've seen the English version enough that I watch it in German with subtitles now. Can't wait to here this in DTS - wow!

Yeah, for heightened audio effect in the DTS version, they've substituted H-bombs instead of mere depth charges and the women at the brothel scream out YOUR name when they're doing it with the German officers. :>)

I'm glad this has become a superbit. However, I have always thought the audio was top notch to begin with. Though I must admit, this is from memory. I still don't own this film and thought I would have long before now. At least I will own it in it's Superbit glory! :yeah:

John, your memory serves you well. It has always been one of the better audio treats for your system.

Yes -- Das Boot is one heck of an audio workout for the system in the "director's cut" edition that has been out for a while. I assume it will be equally impressive in the SuperBit edition.

A few years ago, I was playing around with HTPC and was testing the DVD playback function for the first time. I had just bought Das Boot on DVD but hadn't played it yet, and had no idea how the disc was organized. I connected up the audio to my HT sound system but didn't have the video hooked uo when I put in the Das Boot disc and hit play and started tinkering around some more. Shortly thereafter I thought the house was coming apart!

Das Boot is a "flipper" and I had started on side two and had gotten to the depth charge scene... it was very convincing. I was relieved to discover it was just the movie soundtrack. However, I'm pretty sure if I had cranked up the sub just a little bit more, it might have caused structural damage, too. :>)
