Matt,There were last minutes changes to four reels of KATE AND LEOPOLD. Because the changes were made so close to release, discs were not provided in the US. New discs were made and provided to the release company for international territories. According to our records, none have been requested for Australia. The new discs that contain all the correct reels have blue artwork and are labeled simply "Kate and Leopold" with no trailers. If you have any other discs (any other color), they will not work. Try calling the film distribuator and ask for the blue discs. If you cannot get them, you'll have to run in optical or in one of the other digital sound formats. Karen at DTS

I wonder where Buena Vista got their discs from then? Curious...Our A disc was cracked like a broken tooth so we weren't using them, but the SRD track is damaged and the SR track is recorded at a lower level ?? so I tried the dts discs tonight... They seem to work for 1a but stop until 3a. Does that correlate with your info Karen or is it the fact that the A disc here is damaged and that's why it won't play. I will look tomorrow at which version of disc it is. John ------------------

I saw 'Kate and Leopold' at another theatre on Friday night, and when I came to work on Saturday night, I was shocked to discover that I was watching a scene from our print that did not exist in the print I saw at the other theatre on Friday!The scene in question occurs early on (I will have to watch our print to see what the context is). It's the scene in which Meg Ryan and her assistant go to the movie theatre. That scene does not appear whatsoever in the other print...so there are two versions of the movie currently screening in Sydney. I wonder if the original DTS discs would work with their version? (they don't work with ours, as John W said).

BVI sent us a replacement dts A disc for this film today...Of course, it won't work as it's the original disc version (read above explanation from Karen).Stupid... we pay full price for these releases yet the distributor (BVI) send us second-hand prints with damaged vision and SRD track and dts discs that don't even match the version we are running! Whatever happened to caring about what you do? How can BVI NOT be aware of a problem in one of their releases BEFORE it is released here which is what, 5 months after the USA release? ------------------
