Micheal, I don't know what you have, but all my stuff that is black with white (clear) framelines has the sound track blacked out. Look at yours, and I think you will see where the soundtrack would be. The framelines stop about 5/16 of an inch from the edge of the film. That would be the sound track side. The other side, the frame lines will crowd the inner area very close to the sprocket perfs. There is a possibility you have some weird stuff. The stuff I use is the B-100 Mylar, and I use it as a patch to save the logos, etc.

Brad, I am glad you posted the link. Basically, that is what I was trying to explain to Michael. I really like the BB-100, as it would work very well without having frame lines showing on scope movies. The B-100 is not that forgiving. The only thing I can see the B-100 has going for it is when it is used as a threading leader, as the link indicates. I personally would not care too much for the BB-100 used as threading leaders because it would be too easy for some people to mis-frame while threading. Apparently, it was designed for other purposes cited in the link. BB-100 black-out leader would really be the ticket for splicing stock to preserve the logos, etc., especially during scope presentations. The B-100 will not look that nice with frame line shadows. The type A, C, and D -- I personally do not like to see used. Too many times I have seen operators thread up with that stuff in such a manner as the automation "times in" before that leader is expended through the projector. The scanner beam sees that before the time code on DTS is read to engage the DTS sound. Same holds true for SRD. I have instructed my operators to use the B-100 to prevent the nasty SSSSSHHHHHHIIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!!!! which sounds like hell in the auditorium. And, of course, some operators still splice the B-100 on backwards so you can hear the 24hz motorboat caused by the scanner scanning the frame lines. It makes me want to ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/scream.gif) Oh, well...Tomorrow will be a better day.
