Author Topic: Men in Black (1997) Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 12-21-2006 12:22 PM                     Columbia Pictures 6 Reels Flat 1.85 Dolby SR/DTS/SDDS8 Run Time: 98min Attached: Air Force One Note: Print examined for this entry had an SRD track on R1 only (for SR/SRD/SDDS8/DTS). R2 thru R6 had the SRD track painted black. This would indicate the likelihood of Dual Inventory prints.

R2 thru R6 had the SRD track painted black. This would indicate the likelihood of Dual Inventory prints. ALL US prints of MiB had SRD on R1 only (and the attached trailer), with the rest of the reels not having SRD tracks. No dual inventory. There was a note in the cans originally explaining this. (this was in the tail end of the days when Sony was pretty much SDDS-only, and they had only recently begun to add DTS to their titles).  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

The SRD track does include the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio for the reel. Regarding the comments on Sony's change to include other Digital Audio formats, I did show a print of "City Slickers" that had a DTS Timecode printed on it, but was told there were never any discs produced.  |  IP: Logged
