"Schindler's List" (1993)
10 reels (ten reels)
1.85:1 Flat [*]
DTS Stereo / DTS (no SRD, no SDDS)
(Presumably "DTS Stereo" is Dolby SR compatible; see below)
Early prints on a tape-spliced combination of black-and-white and color acetate stocks.
Later release prints were on color stock throughout.
Conventional redeveloped silver analog soundtrack
Deluxe Lab
Universal Studios
Amblin Entertainment (Steven Spielberg)
There are 18 seconds of music following the last credit (Amblin
Entertainment), followed by 3 seconds of silence, followed by the
rating. Please don't cut off the music.
Nice tasteful black DTS discs:
[*] Our print is stickered with studio/lab inspection labels (NBC Universal/Mike Feinberg) that label the print 1.33:1, and the cans are also so-labeled.
=== Print-specific info
Universal studio print #756 (Bel Air -type markings)
Kodak Color Vision 2383 ESTAR-base stock only (no BW stock).
Print quality excellent; struck 9-8-2005 on 2005-datecode stock. Some slight color variation is noticable across reel changeovers.
Lab changeover cues.
=== A/R Commentary
Because of the above aspect-ratio markings, I asked in the FHF about this. See the thread, Schindler's List Aspect Ratio.

When I opened it in Los Angeles First Run, we played it 1.85. All my prints were E.K. Showprints and the TAP sheet had it Flat 1.85.
quote: Brad Miller also noted:

Bill is correct. I played 2 EK showprints and a regular release print and all 3 were 1.85
It is certainly safe for 1.66:1 projection.
=== Film stock commentary
There has been some discussion of the issues associated with mixing of color and black-and-white stock in the original release of Schindler's List in other threads. Many theatres had problems with focus under high-wattage lamps because black-and-white stock absorbs more heat than color dyes. There were also shedding issues.
Summary:
===See the DTS Stereo thread for a discussion of "DTS Stereo." Most likely it is SR-compatible (we played it in DTS and did not evaluate).
