Cheers for that. I assume if I am trying to merge two libraries I just do the same but don't delete any of the contents/data files in the copy.
Yes.
Technically the XD10 renews all these files on any boot even if you don't delete them but I had a few times when it got corrupted for any reason, so I highly recommend to delete these files mentionied above as soon the contents folder is manually manipulated.
It depends whether the serial of the 70mm prints matches the serial of the 35mm prints (and therefore if it's the same edit as the 70mm prints). Taking 2001 as an example, the 8-channel DTS (which actually is a 7.0 mix) and the 70mm prints are assigned as SN 20952. Technically a 70mm timecode is the same as a 35mm timecode, the DTS processor does not know whether the timecode is coming from 35, 70 or a generator. However, 5-digit serials at 2xxxx were usually assigned for 70mm/SpecialVenue releases so I would not bet on the compatibility with 35mm prints. If not, I'm confident that serials and timing offsets can be manipulated to run the 8-CH soundtrack with a 35mm print but requires further analysis.
I suggest giving it a try and see. If it's not going into digital you can at least check the serial displayed on the XD10 coming from the print (or just send me a picture of a few frames of timecode and I determine it) and we start investigate/workaround from there.
