DTS was one of several competing and non-compatible digital sound formats for 35mm film prints. In the case of DTS, SMPTE timecode (and a backup analog soundtrack) was printed on the film itself. The audio tracks were on the disc which was synced with the timecode on the film. System is still in use for a few very rare 70mm film presentations including the Seattle Cinerama where I work.
