Author Topic: 'The Producers' DTS Discs Cory Isemann Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: White Plains, MD, USA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 12-28-2005 01:32 AM                        I received with my "Producers" print DTS discs that appeared like burned copies. Not only that, the labels on them looked quite professional. They worked with no problems, but I was wondering if anyone else had ever gotten/seen anything like this.  |  IP: Logged Nick Scott Expert Film Handler Posts: 133 From: nsw austrailia Registered: Nov 2004 posted 12-28-2005 03:44 AM                        They could be burned copies DTS usually use all capital letters in there labels where as they are only lower case. And didnt DTS start putting there website on there discs?  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 12-28-2005 08:28 AM                        Those white labels are usually used for the open caption discs.  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 12-28-2005 12:29 PM                     I ran a Bollywood movie (Mission Kashmir) with CD-R DTS discs- amazingly they actually showed up with the print.  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 12-28-2005 12:50 PM                     While the logo & font styles look professional, the label was applied pretty sloppy. If it runs and its actually in english, I'd run with it.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-28-2005 04:32 PM                     You probably just got a screener print. DTS hand-burns discs for small runs like 70mm prints and screeners released before the pressed discs are ready. Those are their labels, so yes they are official discs.  |  IP: Logged Alexander Smith Expert Film Handler Posts: 128 From: Walney Island, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.

Mostly they have the title and e.t.c. printed directly on to the disc. More recently some discs have had a printed, round, label applied to the disc. Given that these discs are never recorded to full capacity, a handful of minimum wage disc jockeys can probably make enough access discs for a UK cinema release in a day or two.
