EDIT: Checked the print itself and there's no timecode even printed. Though could someone explain these terms for when I see them again on next week's bookings?

SRD
Quad
SDDS

~~~original post~~~

Built The Haunting of Molly Hartley last night and it came without any DTS discs. I was told to check to see if it's a DTS print. The trailer report lists it as "SRD." But our booking info also said this for Zack & Miri Make A Porno and that came with DTS discs.

How do I check if a print is supposed to have a DTS disc? Who do I contact to receive them?

The Haunting of Molly Hartley
Freestyle Releasing
SRD
Flat
5 Reels
EDIT: DFS

I can't get to Freestyle's website from here (Theatre has it blocked).

Is it a TES or DFS depot? Call them

Just to clarify, is TES technicolor and DFS Deluxe?

Posted by Bill Gabel (Member # 1105) on 10-31-2008, 11:40 AM:

TES means Technicolor and DFS is Deluxe.

SRD is Dolby Digital with a SR analog backup.
SDDS is Sony Dynamic Digital Sound with a SR analog backup.
Quad is Dolby Digital (SRD), Sony (SDDS), DTS and an analog track (SR) or 4 soundtracks (Quad) on one print.

And your print info should go in the "Feature Info and Trailer Attachment" area on the site.
