Author Topic: Wrong movie being shown makes the news AGAIN! Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 10-29-2008 10:45 PM                     I mentioned that it did happen to us one time: Some of the timecode on one film matched the info on this wrong disc and began to play bits from that one disc. Talk about embarrassing.  |  IP: Logged Mark Hajducki Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Edinburgh, UK Registered: May 2003 posted 10-30-2008 10:21 AM                     quote: Frank Angel I take it this was film and not digital? I would think film would be more prone to this kind of mistake than video, although even with video, a human can still hit the wrong title on a touch screen It is very easy to select the wrong show when running digital (especially as features can be kept for shows once a day, when with film the print would have gone elsewhere). The doremi software also does not show the title on the playback screen until the play button is pressed. [at least it only takes seconds to select an alternate title]  |  IP: Logged Tristan Lane Master Film Handler Posts: 444 From: Nampa, Idaho Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-30-2008 12:22 PM                     quote: Mark Hajducki The doremi software also does not show the title on the playback screen until the play button is pressed.

Luckily, the majority of the Doremi units out there (in the states) are running TCC which does display the title of whatever show or composition is selected.  |  IP: Logged
