I received a print of HEARTBREAKERS that has a sticker on the end of each spool that states:HEARTBREAKERS
REG/DOL SR DTS SDDS-7 I am wondering if anybody has come across this SDDS-7 before or this is just a typo error and should be either 6 or 8. This is also one of only a very few prints that I have received that does not have a SRD track on it. Michael.

>>Could this be SDDS's attempt at an EX type encoding?<<It would have been done after the fact, as 'Heartbreakers' was not an EX title to begin with. Another theory with this labeling is if TES labels their prints for Australia (and the rest of the world for that matter) similarly to the way they do for the US, the '7' may be the number of reels in the feature... i cannot remember for sure, but 'Heartbreakers' may have been a seven-reeler.

>>MGM has begun releasing selected titles with Dolby Digital (SR•D) soundtracks<<Show me an example, Bond titles and non-US prints dont count. I stand by my original statement. >>Check the Print Format & Trailer forum for which titles had Dolby Digital.<< Been there, Done that. Result: All *NONE* of them. Not even 'Hannibal' (surprising, seeing that Universal was involved) Aaron

I do not remember whether Hannibal had SRD or not, the listing in the Feature Info here said it did not, but if it DID, it would have been because of Universal's involvement.I still stand behind my original statement: Besides Hannibal and the Bond titles, there have been NO MGM titles with SRD since 1995. -AS

Ah, yes. I remember HANNIBAL very well. It had SRD here in Australia but what attracted my attention was the fact that the print had 'Argentina' instead of the normal 'International' on the head leaders.I played the first spool just to make sure that it was going to speak in English and not in Spanish. It was in English but it would have been quite an unique problem if it was in another language as, if I remember rightly, all the prints were imported copies.
Regards,
Micheal.
