Give them your acc't or theatre name and address and they could possibly get you set up for trailer disc shipment.

The number for DTS Digital Cinema is 818-401-4300. Or you can send an email to postproduction@dtsdcinema.com and my department will set you up.

As regularly here we don't get disc with prints. What do you think, should I contact distributor here, or to contact international distributor??  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 03-23-2009 12:37 PM                     Karen Hultgren was the person I spoke to to get on the trailer disk mailing list.

January it was a white/blue/red USPS envelope stamped postage, now it resembles something my grandmother sends me. Anyone else getting this?  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 03-23-2009 11:04 PM                     Yep. Doesn't bother me as long as I get discs on time and in playable condition.  |  IP: Logged Sean Kapp Film Handler Posts: 30 From: Columbiana OH USA Registered: Jun 2008 posted 03-24-2009 12:03 PM                     My contact at DTS is Stacy Williamson. She set us up for the trailer disc distribution list last May and is very friendly and helpful. She can be reached directly at stacey.williamson (at) dtsdcinema.com We to are now getting the plain brown envelopes instead of the Red White and Blue USPS ones. All work the same in the end.  |  IP: Logged John B. Keathley Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Fort Worth TX Registered: Mar 2009 posted 03-24-2009 05:23 PM                     Anyone getting DTS disks with Technicolor prints with the disks in a plastic case that had become crushed in the can because it was stuffed between two reels?  |  IP: Logged Geena Phillips Expert Film Handler Posts: 198 From: Norcross, GA / USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 03-24-2009 07:44 PM                        It's because the shipper is turning the goddamned cans on their sides. DHL did it constantly; now that the worst shipper in the country has stopped operating in America, and Technicolor has switched to the second-worst shipper in the country, you'll get more of the same from UPS.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-24-2009 09:46 PM                     If turning cans on the side crushes the discs, that is not UPS's fault. That is the fault of the shipper. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-25-2009 01:33 AM                     I've replaced a few TECH discs shattered due to the crushing and when I called for replacement, I gave them the tip to put the cases in that 'spacer reel' so the cases don't get all smashed.. ...seems to work afterwards, but now noticed that TECH isn't doing the 'spacer reel' thingey anymore - I get a 6 reel film, it comes in two-three reel cans...no more 3 and 4 reel can with 'spacer' reels...and the cases wedged in between the reels.. This is where ETS (DFS) get's the thumbs up on this for my shipments-even with those danged 'fox boxes': rarely a busted case or discs with their shipments. Reels may flop around in the containers, but the cases can easily survive this sort ot treatment. quote: Sean Kapp We to are now getting the plain brown envelopes instead of the Red White and Blue USPS ones. All work the same in the end. Those Red,white and blue envelopes are Priority Mail envelopes which cost TECH $4.95 to ship. Now, with the plain CD envelopes, the postage dropped considerably to $1.20 1st class-which is basically the same kind of service as with Priority Mail .. big savings for them in shipping costs.. ..and if you look closely, a lot of times, the stamps aren't cancelled and can be saved for reuse..  |  IP: Logged
