Paramount hasn't issued a North American print with SDDS on it since "Mission: Impossible 2".  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 05-03-2001 07:56 AM                     It has SDDS, I checked. Anyone know the story of why Paramount doesn't use SDDS? Their trailers always have it, but most of their films don't.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 05-03-2001 10:45 AM                    it probably boils down to a contractual agreement between the three companies SDDS, SRD &DTS.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-03-2001 02:11 PM                        AFAIK, the distributor pays a licensing fee for each digital format on the print, plus the cost of putting that format on the sound negative and QC'ing the tracks at the lab. So it's an economic decision based on which formats the prints need to play in for each market. ------------------ John P.
