The trailer could be part of the original cut negative, in which case it would be carried through the answer print and the duplicate negatives and release prints along with the feature.

Or the trailer duplicate negative and sound negative could be added to the printing negatives at the last minute in the lab. If this were the case, I would expect to see the image of an ultrasonic frameline splice in both the picture and soundtrack negatives, 21 frames apart, as that is what the lab would have to use.

I believe that at the present time, we are only doing trailer discs for North America only. The disc is a subscription item that the studios pay for and, so far, no deals have been made to territories outside North America.

This point needs to be made then. As you say, there are no trailer discs for outside USA. Our unattached trls are about 98% dts-less and even the attached trailers are the same in almost all cases.

So, that means we have to go straight into the dts tag from analog or SRD, and the lead in time given on the Sonic Landscape tags is not sufficient for the discs to get up to speed and allow for the CP500 to switch to dts. So the first note of the piano is invariably played in SR analog. I tried to leave as much leader attached to the tags intact, but found I was limited by very small imperfections (a series of dots) in the analog track which has to be removed and thus made the dts lead-in time much shorter.

Any chance when these tags are done again before the next print run there could be a bit more lead-in?

So it was not my unit and/or my Sonic Landscapes Trailer...

I noted that Sonic Landscapes started "while" the first piano note was playing and that there were some noisy during first moment of trailer if played in analog...

I feel better... I thought that our unit was defective again...
