Posts: 3061 From: Rockwall TX USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-13-2007 10:57 PM                     I don't believe that any of the digital soundtracked Star Wars prints (Special Editions or I-II-III) were SDDS-8.  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 11-21-2007 11:55 AM                     According to the SDDS web site, "Phantom Menace" was 8-channel. But it's the only one in the series.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 02-08-2012 02:31 PM                 It has been 1540 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-08-2012 02:31 PM                     DCP version: 203.4GB Scope 2.35:1 5.1 Credit offset: 02:09:45 (verified) Total running time: 02:16:01 ------------- Fox Fanfare is recorded WAY too soft as is the opening theme. I'm running the Fox Fanfare on 9.0, dropping back to 8.0 for the opening title and crawl and going down to 7.0 for the rest of the feature at the end of the crawl just before the spaceship comes on screen. Works well.  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 02-10-2012 04:21 AM                    5.1? Is that correct? With all the hype around the original release and being the very first ES/EX mix and all of that? And with it originally having SDDS 8 on top of that? How LAME. Is this movie available in film based Tech 3D as well? If so, is that a 5.1 mix also?  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-10-2012 12:50 PM                     Yes, 5.1 only. And there's a 3D open caption file. I bet that will look just super. It also appears that the movie is almost 3 minutes longer here in the US. Also strange is that the 6FL 3D version is 6 seconds shorter than the others. (unverified credits) FTR-2D, 2D-CC and 2D-OC credits=2:12:17 end=2:18:40 FTR-3D, 3D-CC and 3D-OC credits=2:12:17 end=2:18:40 FTR-3D-6FL, 3D-6FL-CC and 3D-6FL-OC credits=2:12:18 end=2:18:34  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-10-2012 03:29 PM                    It is longer because there is a Scrat Short (ice Age Character)on the feature.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-12-2012 10:31 PM                     Yeah, we don't have the Scrat short and also yeah, it's 5.1. Shows how much they care, eh? I remember a LOT of places spent a whole bunch of cash to get EX in for episode one on initial release as it was SO important to the sound of the movie. Yeah, right.  |  IP: Logged Mike Frese Master Film Handler Posts: 465 From: Holts Summit, MO Registered: Jun 2007 posted 02-13-2012 04:24 PM                        quote: Mark J.
