Author Topic: What is an "ALT" trailer? Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-05-2011 05:01 PM                        I notice a lot of trailers are on the Trail Mix drives in two versions: a regular version and an alternate version marked "ALT." I've not had time to play any of these back to back to see what's the difference, but does anyone here know?  |  IP: Logged Joe Elliott Master Film Handler Posts: 497 From: Port Orange, Fl USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 01-05-2011 05:28 PM                     Usually it is the same trailer without the IMAX tags.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-05-2011 07:01 PM                        OK but there are some trailers where there is a regular version and a "no Imax" version AND an "ALT" version. ???  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 01-05-2011 07:11 PM                     It's a way to jam up your servers. I think there's 16 different Cars 2 files on the tech mix.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!
