Yes Stephen that is an annoying problem, it seems to affect some shows and not others. I've had a go at replacing some of the joins, its helped in some of them but not others.? I've used both 16 & 35mm tape. As with the quality of prints we're receiving from the states, it certainly does leave a lot to be desired . Some of the prints really are, very very poor. Obviously with the tight release schedules and the amount of prints that need to be runoff , the distributors / labs are letting substandard prints out. Which reminds me of a story that happened some years ago . Our company CEO at the time went over to hollywood for a look around the studio's , as he was leaving one of them, and walking down a passage way he passed a couple of features in trunks to one side with the label on them "reject ship to australia"……true story!. .. With the quality of some of the product we are receiving lately, and expected to screen to the paying public, it seems that policy is still continuing………

Gordon,Get yourself a Kelmar cleaner and some Filmguard...so long as the 2nd hand print hasn't been treated with Permafilm, your print will come up looking pretty darn good. (search Bless The Child in the FT search engine for more details on what it can do.)

Brad,I noted a strange thing with SR.D since I start working as projectionist. On some film SR.D drop out in SR, many others stay in Digital no matter what... For example, I'm actually projecting HANNIBAL and the sound NEVER drop in SR at splices. I have a splice also during a dialogue (I replaced a bad lab splice) and the CP stays in Digital, the dialogue is perfect nothing missing. On other films (same tape, same way to make splices, same projectors) the SR.D drops in analog. I have Cinemeccanica V5MI with basement readers. Usually my error rate is 3-5. On Star Wars I saw a 0.5 so I think that my soundhead are properly setup! With Hannibal I have an Error Rate of 3-4. I think that readers are not the only responsible about SR.D drop-outs!!! Bye Antonio
