Movie is scope, and I didn't see anything mentioning SDDS.

Is this data taken from an actual print in your own hands, or from some kind of depot/studio flyer?  |  IP: Logged Keith Peticolas Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Eagle River, Alaska, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 02-21-2002 03:28 PM                     Info sheet came with print. No mention of any sound at all. Checked print and didn't see any indication of SDDS, but I would assume it probably is.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 02-21-2002 04:55 PM                     By indication do you mean marking on the headers/ footers or did you actually look along the edges of the film to see if there was SDDS tracks?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-21-2002 05:09 PM                     SDDS is never listed on the leaders. Postings made here should be made only by someone who has physically handled the print and has specifically looked for dts timecode, SRD data blocks in between the perforations and SDDS data along the edges of the film (which should not be confused with non-SDDS prints that colored edges...look for the tiny dots). WB has always placed SDDS on their films for the last 5 years or so. I can't imagine why this one would be any different, unless it was picked up from another studio. Can someone who can physically inspect a print please confirm or deny this?  |  IP: Logged Josh Kirkhart Expert Film Handler Posts: 165 From: Austin/Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2001 posted 02-22-2002 05:19 AM                     The picture is indeed in SDDS. All other info in ppost is correct  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

It is right there with all the other formats next to the ColoReel® reel number code on prints from both DeLuxe labs, and in reeeeally tiny print scribbled into the soundtrack next to the word 'Version' on Tech Hollywood prints (usually listed as 'Quad' or 'SDDS-DTS' on a quad format print from Tech Hollywood). -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-22-2002 01:00 PM                     I stand corrected then. Perhaps I'm thinking of Technicolor leaders. Oh well, I still never trust the leaders except for analog track NR encoding purposes (until proven otherwise). It's much easier to look at the actual film for 2 seconds.  |  IP: Logged
