Author Topic: DTS trailer discs via TES? John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 08-02-2002 02:02 PM                     Well, this is interesting [to me at least]. Today's mail includes USPS from TES of a DTS trailer disc (for 2 Aug 2002). It's against our Technicolor marketting account, and shipped to that address and addressee rather than as DTS trailer discs usually come (from DTS). Is DTS changing trailer disc distribution to be outsourced to TES and against TES account numbers? Or is something else going on here? --jhawk (who feels odd to be the first person to notice these random TES changes...)  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 08-02-2002 03:37 PM                        We got our weekly discs in via box yesterday or the say before. If I'm not mistaken they hada poster in the box as well. Normally, I get the discs in via USPS Priority. Maybe this has to do with the whole depot return/delivery hiatus we all seems to be in now. (ARS labels and such) Karen shoudl be able to clear this up.  |  IP: Logged John Scott Master Film Handler Posts: 252 From: Oakdale, MN, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 08-02-2002 04:36 PM                     Yeah same here. What was really strange is that we only have 1 DTS house in our 8 screen complex (the rest are DD), but we were sent 8 DTS disks. Seems like a waste.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 08-02-2002 04:39 PM                     Note, Jason, that previously DTS discs came from DTS ("supposedly"), with no reference to TES accounts. Now they come referencing a TES account number. John, I'll bet that your TES account has 8 screens associated with it (click on "Account Information" on exhibitor.technicolor.com) and so you get 8 sets of discs. I suppose they'll figure out how to refine the system to avoid that... --jhawk  |  IP: Logged John Scott Master Film Handler Posts: 252 From: Oakdale, MN, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 08-02-2002 08:24 PM                     I'm sure that's the case, but I hope they are able to work the kinks out of the system. I feel bad just throwing 7 disks in the trash.  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 08-03-2002 09:07 PM                     Use 'em for coasters, and use the cases to replace cracked cases in your CD collection!  |  IP: Logged John Scott Master Film Handler Posts: 252 From: Oakdale, MN, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 08-04-2002 12:18 AM                     Trailer discs don't come in cases, they come in envelopes.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 08-05-2002 05:23 PM                        There are also some of us out there that use the trailor disks. I'd be happy to absorb any extra or old disks. Josh  |  IP: Logged
