(Personally, I don't like running trailers in digital sound, though...)  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

They're usually too loud and badly overdriven. Usually when I hear a trailer in digital sound at a movie theater it is typically at a volume level more consistent with the main feature, not several db above it.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-22-2006 08:29 PM                     The only reason I asked about the 'cracking' is because featrue discs are now encoded as to make it impossible to burn copies of them (as I understand it). So either the trailer discs don't have this same protection, or they were somehow cracked to get around it. From what you say, it must be the first.  |  IP: Logged Markus Lemm Expert Film Handler Posts: 113 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Nov 2005 posted 02-22-2006 10:44 PM                        I haven't seen any encoding that would make it impossible to burn copies. If a standard CD player can read the DTS disc in a computer than it can always be copied. The last DTS discs I checked were 'King Kong' and 'Munich' and they read in a computer no problems. When are these new discs coming out? and How do they prevent burning?  |  IP: Logged Paul Van Dusen Film Handler Posts: 82 From: Roanoke, VA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 02-23-2006 10:38 AM                        If they're anything like what they used on standard music cd's a few years ago then there will be an encoded band on the edge of the cd that allows it to be played but not copied or ripped. It's kind of stupid though, i know people who have gotten around it by simply filling in the area with the encoding with a black sharpie.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

Apparently this started around the time of Madagascar, Revenge of the Sith, etc. But you should still be able to burn working copies of the disks if you need to.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 11-02-2007 12:26 PM                 It has been 616 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 11-02-2007 12:26 PM                     In the documentation, Markus states he's not had any success with CDRW discs. I've gotten them to work, but you must "close" the disc - ie making it 'not appendable' before the OS of the DTS player will read the disc properly. I've been playing around with this for several weeks and have found the software works exactly as advertised when you initially build a new disc. However, while it it appears you can add-on to an existing trailer reel (using the continue reel option), the audio appended will not play correctly, mixing up the channel alignment. I've reached out to Markus, but have yet to receive a response. So I recommend building a new trailer reel each time until an update is available.  |  IP: Logged
