Kudos to you, Charles, for making an "upgrade" that your customers could appreciate, and at no cost (besides your time)!

I wish that more theaters would realize the benefits of a little showmanship in the process. Consumers are often the proverbial horse that marketing has to lead to water. Once there, they will eagerly drink and be happy for it!

I'll bet you could advertise that your ice was made from filtered water "for the best quality" (if it truly is, of course), and you'd sell more soft drinks at the concession stand. [Smile]

A little marketing goes a long way!

I called them last week and they told me that they SHOULD have them by January, however this isn't the fist time they failed to get them when promised.

They also told me they would be DDE(Datasat Digital Entertainment) trailers, not DTS trailers

I stopped using sound logo trailers a couple of years ago. I might still have some DTS logos left. Donna, if I do, I'll send you a PM.

DTS was unhappy with the cinema side of the biz so they sold it off. Then the newly independent cinema side found the most uncreative person they could to think of a new name for them and they came up with the very cold Datastat Digital Endoscopy or whatever. I think a lot of people know who DTS is namely because of Jurassic Park and also the home side of the biz. Showing a film trailer with a DDE logo would be weird since I don't think any film stuff was designed or manufactured under DDE. If showing digital stuff, then that's OK because there's an alphabet soup of stuff out there that nobody knows about so it would blend in nicely. If the film trailer was friggin' awesome, then I'd show it anyway.

Sadly, I've found none of the DTS trailers "friggin' awesome" so there's probably not much chance of that.

Whatever the reason, moving away from the DTS trademark was a bad idea. DTS is enjoying a huge amount of brand awareness as a result of Blu-ray, which bolsters the 17 years of presence in the commercial theater and home theater market, and just as digital sound on film is waning in importance, they change the brand for the theatrical market.

Combine that with a seeming lack of ability to create interesting sound trailers, the lack of interest among theaters in playing them, the inability of theaters that are interested to get them, and the trend towards lossless multi-channel sound on digital cinema, and you gotta wonder where they're headed with this effort?

Same direction the entire industry is heading I'm afraid... as I noted in THIS THREAD, SEE PAGE 2.

quote: Me, from that other thread
Sadly, with the dreck coming out of Hollywood, the anti-piracy campaign that made the PAYING CUSTOMERS out to be the criminals and the downgrading of image quality on both film prints and DLP, the industry continues its self-destruction with no signs of it stopping.

Honestly I have never seen a business model so bent on killing off its customer base.

Even sadder to me since I have ALWAYS had great support from DTS and generally endorse their products highly.
