DTS DVD Delay Pushes Target To September - -June 29, 1998 Digital Theater Systems (DTS) said inaugural shipments of DTS-encoded DVD movie discs will occur about four months later than expected. The first discs are targeted for delivery around September, the company said. Earlier this year, DTS said Image Entertainment targeted May distribution for two DTS-encoded DVD music videos and June sales of 15 DTS-encoded Universal movie titles. DTS blamed delays in developing authoring software for mastering movie discs with DTS Digital Surround. "Over the past few months, a new version of DVD authoring software needed to be created" to "enable authoring companies to place the DTS audio onto a DVD-Video disc," said DTS marketing director David DelGrosso. That software "is now in the final sign-off stages," enabling "several content providers" to finalize their production time lines for DTS releases." DelGrosso said detailed announcements would be made in July describing which titles will ship in September, although some titles will be ready before September.
