Author Topic: What is "Textless" in CPL for XXX: The Return of Xander Cage Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 01-16-2017 06:00 PM                        I'm ingesting the content for XXX: The Return of Xander Cage, and I noticed two of the CPLs have "textless" right between 2D and S_EN-XX. Any clue what this is?  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 01-16-2017 08:22 PM                        At a wild guess, maybe the movie has a scene with some spoken language other than English with subtitles that either are or are not printed on the screen?  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 01-16-2017 09:55 PM                     I've run into this once before- but in the CPL I had, "textless" was not spelled out, but was abbreviated as"TL" and was in a different position in the CPL. In my case, it signified an "International" version of the feature I was running. I know it's somewhere in the ISDCF naming convention document, because I recall looking it up back then. But I've never seen it spelled the way it is in your example.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

For, I was wondering on that as well. But, when receiving the keys, this "textless" was not in the name string of the key. XXX3_FTR-2-2D_S_EN-XX-CCAP_OV_51-HI-VI-Dbox_2K_PC_20170108_DTB_IOP_OV For a lot of us than can read the CPL naming string, we would have noticed that CCAP, Hi-VI would not have been included into the string.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-18-2017 07:05 PM                     I've had three calls from customers about this since Monday. Thats what I assumed it was ...

Some files in TL are different from OV vesrion, but not all.  |  IP: Logged
