This is for Karen but feel free to answer.Why does DTS send out new disks almost every week? Are there that many new trailers from week to week that can justify the expense of pressing, jewel boxes, printing, shipping, etc. Paul.

My guess would be that the production schedule for trailers is often just as tight, if not tighter, than feature films. In other words, the "final cut" is often not available until just a few days before it opens in theatres.So, assuming many trailers don't have a final cut until a week or two before they need to be played, the DTS trailer disks need to be issued on a frequent enough basis to have the soundtracks for all current trailers. One disk a month wouldn't cut it for trailers that were approved just a week or two prior to the play date.

Karen -That's just it: Available in selected teritories only..... Hmmm I don't know, whether it is an installment failure in my house, but my CP65 will not accept DTS and Dolby Digital in the same show. (-Of course it will, but then i will have to be in the booth to stop the projector, and manually shut down the Dolby Digital, before main feature start with REAL sound.) Result: On DTS shows, trailers in analog only - and thats bad !!!! Best regards Per
