(I saw "Man Of Steel" so long ago it's already an "old movie" to me!) The press versions are usually labeled like this: (This example is from a recent "The World Ends" press screenng) On a somewhat releated topic- some of these press screenings are so far in advance of the actual release date that the "standard" DCP drives haven't been duplicated yet, and the DCPs arrive on mini USB 3.0 hard drives like this: -jc-  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 06-16-2013 05:02 AM                     Hmm, interesting the naming convention states an audio type 10 - center channel mono - I thought an odd number of audio tracks was not allowed/supported in DCPs? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 06-16-2013 05:25 AM                     Thanks Harold. Is the old chart still available? It will take a little while to put the new one in place and it does not make sense to train people only on the new one right now.

Interesting to watch it developing (and being ignored ;-) - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 06-16-2013 06:29 AM                     Thanks Carsten.  |  IP: Logged
