View profile »Both editions have 2.35:1 aspect ratio, but only the newer, DTS version actually says it's "anamorphic".
I'm one of those fossils who still has a a standard television, but am hoping to upgrade soon! When that time comes I want to have the best version of "Mohicans" on hand. Will it be worth it to buy the DTS or should I stick to the original THX?
Thanks.

I'm sure that both have been THX certified since the DTS version appears to have a THX optimizer...so, IMHO, if you can get a fair price on the DTS, go for it, since it is widescreen enhanced, has DTS audio (and assuming your surround sound can play it, your TV alone won't), and the same (few) extras.

Tony, more specifically, THX in this case refers to the THX Mastering Program, not the TAP (Theater Alignment Program). THX does not "encode" the soundtrack or video in anyway, but refers to keeping the "original source" material as true to the master as possible (as defined by THX).
