The DTS discs that shipped out with US prints are marked SN 7336. These discs will not work. You must have discs marked SN 7715 for proper DTS playback.

I don't know about DTS playback for UK prints.

Also the print preview is Valkyrie. Ours was messed up and the last 6 seconds of it has no picture. You just hear the words "Valkyrie" hissed at you as you stare at a black screen. We had another copy of the preview come in with another movie that shows it should say Valkyrie on screen, and then show Coming Soon. Problem is, the print preview is flat, the other preview is scope.

Our print also has the same "black screen" at the end of the trailer.

I have Valkyrie on another trailer and when "How to Lose Friends..." this morning, all title cards for that trailer are not there. When it ticks and adds a growing black bar to the middle of the screen it should say 'from the director of:' then rattles off some of Singers flicks. Also when Cruise walks in front of the black bar it should have his name in bold white print.

Anyone figure why this attached trailer is incomplete?

There is action within the credits, but it's so lame it's not worth keeping the lights down for it. [thumbsdown]

What is the DTS serial number on the prints in Australia? Wondering what the original discs distributed with the US prints actually are...

There is nothing wrong with the trailers that have the fade out and the title being said, that is how this trailer is supposed to be. As far as the other one with the black bars and the text on them, this is how they are supposed to be as well. No one got shipped an incomplete trailer for Valkyrie.

You sure about that. The stand alone trailers that I believe are the same as the one attached to this print, have the printed title and credit sequence printed on them.

Yeah I'm positive, were running them both. The one with the fade to black is correct. It has no credits or release date, then there is the other one with credits and coming soon.
