Author Topic: audio format clarification? Tyler Potts Expert Film Handler Posts: 159 From: Anderson, SC, USA Registered: Sep 2008 posted 10-31-2008 10:50 AM                       EDIT: Checked the print itself and there's no timecode even printed. Though could someone explain these terms for when I see them again on next week's bookings? SRD Quad SDDS ~~~original post~~~ Built The Haunting of Molly Hartley last night and it came without any DTS discs. I was told to check to see if it's a DTS print. The trailer report lists it as "SRD." But our booking info also said this for Zack & Miri Make A Porno and that came with DTS discs. How do I check if a print is supposed to have a DTS disc? Who do I contact to receive them? The Haunting of Molly Hartley Freestyle Releasing SRD Flat 5 Reels EDIT: DFS I can't get to Freestyle's website from here (Theatre has it blocked).  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-31-2008 11:02 AM                     Is it a TES or DFS depot? Call them  |  IP: Logged Tyler Potts Expert Film Handler Posts: 159 From: Anderson, SC, USA Registered: Sep 2008 posted 10-31-2008 11:19 AM                       Just to clarify, is TES technicolor and DFS Deluxe?  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-31-2008 11:40 AM                     TES means Technicolor and DFS is Deluxe. SRD is Dolby Digital with a SR analog backup. SDDS is Sony Dynamic Digital Sound with a SR analog backup. Quad is Dolby Digital (SRD), Sony (SDDS), DTS and an analog track (SR) or 4 soundtracks (Quad) on one print. And your print info should go in the "Feature Info and Trailer Attachment" area on the site.  |  IP: Logged
