I love DTS sound over every other format. It has been three years nearly since we installed the dts unit bought from Capitol Motion Picture Supply Company from New York. We are yet to experience anything like a 'problem' with it.I usually pay much attention to dts recording in Hollywood films and I feel WARNER BROS, FOX and DREAMWORKS movies generally come out with excellent DTS recording. While some movies from other studios do sometimes feature excellent dts recording too, it appears like these studios do not mix their movies that well in dts all the time. In my opinion certain sequences from the movie SWORDFISH featured the best dts recording I have heard in my theatre. Yes, in comparison to THE MATRIX, SPIDERMAN, STARWARS, PEARL HARBOUR, MUMMY and other movies. The opening blast sequence in SWORDFISH, in my opinion, made complete use of the ability of dts to truly amaze people inside my theatre. I was looking to find if I could use those 2 minutes sequence itself as a trailer for DTS inside my theatre. In this regard, the people at WARNER BROS here are not able to do much at all - all prints of SWORDFISH they have are completely worn out and wont look well to begin a show with. I was wondering how I could get those two minutes of SWORDFISH footage - Starting with the dialogue : what is wrong with that movie and ending with the sequence : a ball rolls over to the area where the hacker is lying on the floor. I will need the dts DISC-A also. Will DTS itself help ? ------------------

You will get zero assistance from anyone. DTS does not own the rights to the film and will not give out the discs without studio permission. Warner ownes the footage you seek, but I can guarantee you they will not print up copies of SwordFish for you to use as an audio demo. Even if they were willing to make the prints, I can guarantee you they will not hand them out for free. They will want $$$ for the cost of the prints and then they will want $$$ for the exhibition rights. But even at that, they will never do it in the first place. Bottom line, give it up.Regarding certain studios making better tracks than others, I don't think there is any truth to that. A good mix is created by a single person or group of talented individuals. The studios have little to do with it. As an example, Gary Rydstrom is one of the most talented guys in the trade and he has mixed for just about all of the studios. By the way, did you just compare one of the best mixes of the last 10 years to what is most probably the worst mix of the last 10 years? (The Matrix=good The Mummy=bad) (shudders at the thought of having to listen to The Mummy again)

The MUMMY in that was MUMMY RETURNS. MUMMY was bad but not the MUMMY RETURNS.To give an example here : THE SIXTH SENSE from TOUCHSTONE was so badly recorded that the dts did sound like mono. Of course there are exceptions for FOX too- their ENTRAPMENT and Me,Myself and Irene were very badly recorded in dts that we had the audience complain that these movies sounded like they were in mono. We did agree with them. I do know that DTS does not own the rights for the movies that incorporate their sound. But would they not like to do something as simple as ask the studio for 2 minutes of footage from a print that will forever be sealed in a can. As to the disc, I can secure the disc from the local Warner guy here. If I were the dts person, I would very happily do it. If dts would not want to do it, I would think they dont care. If they try but are not successful, I would appreciate it and do something more. But, I truly wish to believe they will help me out here.

Buzz and Bill was a very effective promotional that many of my customers used to advertise improvements in their cinema sound systems. SDDS trailers can also be put together as a set to create a short for promotional use. Dolby had a nice short but now promote advertising materials such as trailers, posters, banners, window stickers, ad slicks, wall plaques, ballons, shirts, caps et cetera for cinema promotion.

DTS does not own the rights to any of the films we work with. If you want film, you must ask the release company - it belongs to them and only they can release it.If you want a DTS logo trailer, I can send that to you. The BUZZ AND BILL show is a demo and test film used during equipment installation. It is not meant for public viewing. JURASSIC PARK is not on the demo film because it was released after our demo film was made. Karen at DTS
