Author Topic: Mini Cooper - Screenvision - Rolling Stock Ad Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX. (North of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-23-2005 10:46 AM                     I have experienced an issue with the new ad that started on 4/22/05. It is the Mini Cooper convertible rolling stock ad that is playing. The analog sound is fine, but when it runs in Dolby Digital mode, there is pure silence. It seems that the Digital data is there, just no audio encoded. Anyone else?  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-23-2005 10:50 AM                    whats the digital unit doing. Does it show error rates or the yellow indicator for analog sound. I know that I have one here that does not have a digital track and I have to manually set the sound to analog. It is the first one on the ads so it is no big deal.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-23-2005 05:12 PM                        i've had a couple trailers like that. ("control room" and "kontroll"... hmmm) the srd reads fine, but is silent, so it won't revert to analog. of course you don't find out about this until you run it. as long as your da20 isn't set to auto-digital, you can cue the sound to sr then back to digital at the end. carl  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

Just no digital audio, other ads play in Digital just fine. See, Digital is perfect!  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-24-2005 02:36 AM                     LOL...like me back in '98 when ANTS was getting ready to open. Some trailers versions of ANTS had a French dialog track encoded on the SRD track, whereas the other 3 tracks were english. Definitely had to watch out for that one each time I had to put one of these trailers on. Actually had to pre-screen these trailers for some had this goofed up track and others didn't-and there were no ID's on the leaders anywhere of the French encoded SRD track. yep.. digital is "perfect"..... -Monte  |  IP: Logged
