Author Topic: UA "Odyssey" and Mann 1999 policy trailers Connor Wilson Expert Film Handler Posts: 190 From: Sterling, VA, USA Registered: Jan 2011 posted 08-27-2011 12:15 PM                     I found this humorous incident after lurking around the FT forums. quote: Joe Redifer As far as UA goes, I think that as of this writing they are playing Blade Runner 2: ODDyssey. That has Dolby Digital, SDDS, and DTS timecode. Too bad the DTS version was NEVER put on any discs! In an odd twist of fate, the old Mann policy had the 6 track sound on the DTS discs (sounds GREAT) but no timecode on any of the trailers ever printed! What was even weirder was that if you cut the UA ODDyssey trailer tail too late, the Mann music will start playing in DTS in your UA theatre! I had this happen and I laughed my ass off. So since I presume both trailers are at the Film-Tech warehouse, I decided to play the mentioned UA trailer muted and synced up to the audio of the Mann policy, and believe it or not, cues actually synced up with each other and you could've sworn it was the original soundtrack! I laughed my ass off like how Joe did! I then tried syncing the Mann trailer with the audio of the UA trailer and guess what? Cues synced! It is so creepy, as if like Mann and UA had this odd relationship with each other. In case you're lazy, here are the two trailers for you to try it out yourself. Start the video source first, then begin the audio source.

I think it would be a good tip for collecting, but I know a magician never reveals his secrets.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 08-28-2011 09:49 AM                     He might've used the winamp plugin that worked for extracting songs on DTS discs. Now, I said "worked" because they made changes to the discs years ago that made the software no longer work.  |  IP: Logged Chase Pickett Expert Film Handler Posts: 142 From: Irving, Texas, USA Registered: Nov 2010 posted 08-28-2011 12:11 PM                     Connor, go to the warehouse and click on tips. The procedure of how to fit 3 DTS discs worth of audio on 2 discs shows how to extract the audio files.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 08-28-2011 12:21 PM                     quote: Chase Pickett The procedure of how to fit 3 DTS discs worth of audio on 2 discs shows how to extract the audio files. Actually, it doesn't. It only shows you how to find the AUD file that would contain sound for all the trailers. That doesn't extract it into a form that would be playable on anything other than a DTS system. And it really only shows you how to find the trailer AUD file and delete it, rather than extract it.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-28-2011 12:44 PM                     Chris, the idea is to re-burn onto two 700MB discs rather than three 650MB discs. If the overblown trailer audio has to be deleted to make that happen, even better.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 08-29-2011 01:35 AM                     I'm aware of how that works. But the original question was about how Joe was able to get the audio for this trailer extracted from the disc and I was pointing out that the suggestion of looking at the guide in question wouldn't really help for that at all.  |  IP: Logged
