Author Topic: Manchurian Candidate (2004) SRD / DTS and occasionally SDDS Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-29-2004 09:30 PM                     Warning to all, reel 4 of the print I handled of Manchurian Candidate came with SDDS data on the edges. Since Paramount does not print in SDDS, this looks like a potential lab error. This reel could contain silence, audio from another movie, who knows??? Until such time that someone can verify what the data is on this reel (or prescreen your print), it might be best to turn the SDDS processor off or put it into bypass mode.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

And yes, it was an actual track and not just cyan coloring on the edge. There was data. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 07-30-2004 02:37 AM                     My print of Two brothers was the same way. R1 had SDDS but dropped out continuosly throughout. R2 was fine then the rest had no SDDS.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 07-30-2004 09:48 AM                     The studio prints that I handled here in New York, had SDDS information and played well. The prints I had were not standard release prints.  |  IP: Logged
