Upon inspecting the film, I found that Technicolor has started using a new leader. It now states the Dolby SRD-EX format and the rest of the digital formats.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-16-2003 04:25 PM                        Since "Biker Boyz" substituted a "z" where there should normally be an "s", that meanz it iz cool.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-16-2003 05:23 PM                     Bill, was that a typo over in FITA when you said "SRD-EX/SRD/DTS/SDDS"?
