McLaughlin Film Handler Posts: 76 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 2011 posted 06-02-2013 08:48 AM                        If you have the proper equipment try going to sites where you can download HD trailers and convert them to DCP yourself.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 06-02-2013 08:50 AM                     why not extracting them from a DVD? Or a VHS maybe?  |  IP: Logged Alan Gouger Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 501 From: Bradenton, FL, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-02-2013 09:49 AM                        Im surprised there is no internet download service for the weekly trailmix. I would think it would save the distributors on workload and money.  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 06-02-2013 05:06 PM                     quote: Marco Giustini why not extracting them from a DVD?

Just to be clear, that was sarcasm, right??  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 06-02-2013 05:11 PM                     Yes! Because a trailer is in HD it does not mean that it will look like a proper DCP! HD trailers on the net are good for your PC monitor, not for a cinema screen.  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 06-02-2013 05:21 PM                     Right. Just wanted to make sure you weren't seriously suggesting that. I didn't think you were.  |  IP: Logged James Skinner Film Handler Posts: 22 From: Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada Registered: Dec 2012 posted 06-02-2013 05:58 PM                     "I'm surprised there is no internet download service for the weekly trailmix.

Coming from a computer background and only recently being involved in digital cinema I get the impression that the film industry has been very slow to embrace all things digital. It seems only obvious to provide all trailers in DCP format in an easily accessible location.  |  IP: Logged Gavin Lewarne Master Film Handler Posts: 278 From: Plymouth, UK Registered: Aug 2009 posted 06-02-2013 07:13 PM                     perhaps their concern is download speeds, especially in more remote areas.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-02-2013 08:59 PM                        I doubt THAT'S the case...they don't give a hoot about remote areas, unless you owe them money. I'm sure this will happen someday -- they're already distributing movies to some locations by satellite anyway so it's just a quick jump. Maybe they're hoping everyone will convert to satellite and they won't have to invest in an internet distribution path? Just spit-balling here.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

But, for those of us living/working in the real (reel?) world -- where something is better than nothing -- the internet is often the only source for trailers for non-Hollywood titles. Download the trailers and use DVD-O-MATIC to make them into DCP's.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 06-03-2013 11:41 AM                     There are some sites out there ripping unencrypted DCinema trailers for home use as well. I've also found a couple places dedicated to ripping .m2ts trailers from Blu-ray and creating quite the nice repository for trailers. Very nice as I like running trailers at home prior to screenings. It just makes it feel that much more cinematic. Don't worry, I don't do it with roadshow films. AJG  |  IP: Logged
