Author Topic: DTS Discs needed for MARY POPPINS and others Jock Blakley Expert Film Handler Posts: 218 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Oct 2011 posted 12-04-2011 06:09 PM                     Hi all, I hope this isn't prohibited but I can't find anything to that effect with searches - and checking with the distributor has already not checked out. We're a rep cinema in Melbourne that occasionally ends up with DTS-only prints with long-lost discs, or in the case of this print of MARY POPPINS, there weren't any discs in the country in the first place (or so we were apparently told). We're showing it on the first of January, but it's a bit of a regular. Given the only alternative is a pretty beaten-up SVA track, it'd be really helpful if somebody could spare us a set of discs, or dupes or ISOs thereof if that's permissible. As for the others, we might be showing original prints of JURASSIC PARK and HEAVEN AND EARTH in the future - and six-track discs for them would be equally appreciated, but they're of less importance right now. Naturally we'd pay for shipping, and/or you can name first-run or more recent titles and we've probably got the discs for it in the pile-of-discs-for-films-we're-never-going-to-show-and-even-if-we-did-we'd-show-it-in-SR*D. Thanks all.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 12-04-2011 06:52 PM                     Shoot a PM to member Brian Shulz. Although he might pipe in here before you get this since he keeps an eye out for these things on here.  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 12-04-2011 08:03 PM                     DTS stands for Do They Ship? I never heard of any recent re-release of Mary Poppins.  |  IP: Logged Daniel Schulz Master Film Handler Posts: 387 From: Los Angeles, CA USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 12-04-2011 09:10 PM                        Hi Jock, Shoot me a PM or email and we'd be happy to make the necessary arrangements. Cheers, Daniel Schulz  |  IP: Logged Daniel Schulz Master Film Handler Posts: 387 From: Los Angeles, CA USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 12-05-2011 04:22 PM                        As a follow up on this, it turns out there are no discs for Mary Poppins. Disney shot timecode on the tracks for a subtitling project, but never had a 5.1 soundtrack done theatrically.  |  IP: Logged Jock Blakley Expert Film Handler Posts: 218 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Oct 2011 posted 12-05-2011 07:16 PM                     Ah, and I've just sent Daniel a PM. Bit of a pity, the analogue track is not in the best condition but we'll manage. Jesse: DTS distribution seems to work differently down under. Discs never come with prints (although the 70mm print of TITANIC has the Amaray case shoved in with reel 2) Thanks for the help, all.  |  IP: Logged
