Author Topic: Dolby trailers on DCP. James Waite Film Handler Posts: 52 From: London ON Canada Registered: Nov 2007 posted 07-02-2014 01:49 PM                        Does anyone know how to get a Dolby trailer? There's at least one fairly cool one the local multiplex plays. I've tried contacting Dolby but I don't seem to be important enough to bother replying. I put in a CP750 when we installed the Digital. I'd like to show off the sound system to the customers. We are on a campus so sometimes have issues with people thinking we aren't a 'real' theatre. I'm in Canada btw which probably makes it harder.  |  IP: Logged Jason McMillan Film Handler Posts: 68 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Dec 2009 posted 07-02-2014 02:21 PM                     Is this what you are looking for? http://www.freedcp.net/?page_id=100  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-02-2014 07:12 PM                        I don't know why Dolby has any contact-us information on their website. I've written several emails to them and/or filled out their online forms and have yet to ever receive as much as a "get lost" in response. I have a feeling unless your email address contains something like "carmike" or "regal" or "amc" they just go right into the spam bin. That site linked above is great however. A good resource (and even includes a link to Film-Tech!)  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

Remember that Dolby isn't only a "sound format" anymore, so they're not going to want you running one of their "digital cinema" trailers if all you have is one of their audio processors. If you're using a different brand of server, then perhaps it would be best -- more accurate advertising -- if you used whatever trailer(s) might be available from that brand.  |  IP: Logged James Waite Film Handler Posts: 52 From: London ON Canada Registered: Nov 2007 posted 07-04-2014 02:53 AM                        The site listed seems to be exactly what I was looking for. My projector is actually offline since we are closed for renovations so I can't test them at this time. I think the one labelled Sphere is the one I saw. I do want one for just the Dolby sound system, most people don't know or care what server we use.I like to stick to truth in advertising, love most of the THX trailers but can't play them since we aren't THX. thanks for the info.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 07-04-2014 05:51 AM                     Get http://www.digitall.net.au/dcpplayerfree/ so you can view unencrypted DCPs on your windows machine. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
