I've noticed that Disney and Deluxe do not post information pertaining to the particulars of DCP encoding and what not - is Deluxe no longer involved in the release and distribution? Where online is this information posted (if at all)?

What kind of information do you mean? I have never seen such information for any DCP.

Edit: Oh, you mean this page?

Never noticed it before.

Disney hasn't made those ingest letters available for The Avengers: Age of Ultron or Tomorrowland. Usually those ingest letters are posted at some point between Friday and Sunday prior to release. With Tomorrowland and Avengers, I received them by email on Tuesday, just 3 days ahead of the release.

Tomorrowland came with a fancier (3 page, full color, heavier paper) spec letter, similar to what Disney has done with its Pixar movies. I assume this is because Brad Bird (director of The Incredibles) may have insisted on it.

There is also a Pixar-ish set of "projectionist trading cards" that contains all the same information, but unlike Pixar movies the backside of the cards are all the same "Tomorrowland logo" as opposed to having characters from the movie.

Our Avengers print came with the same boring letter Deluxe always uses. All ripped to shreds as per normal.

I feel cheated. Since we get most everything via satellite, I didn't get any trading cards or the fancy letter. Just a boring email.
