Sadly not. The DTS-HD spec calls for an extractable DTS core, but on Blu-Rays that come with TrueHD, the DD track is actually separate- you'd need to rip both to bitstream surround sound on a system that doesn't support TrueHD bitstreaming. Not sure on Gotham, but I know that on Frodo if you have both TrueHD and DD, and you're hooked up with optical, it'll bitstream the DD track rather than downmix the TrueHD.
Ahh, thankyou for the clarification. I know DTS-MA includes the core DTS component, but I didnt know that with TrueHD the DD component would be entirely seperate. Explains why a rip with only the TrueHD stream was being decoded to 2.0.
