What happened to DD trailers?

[jroadley]

Anyone else notice a distinct lack of Dolby Digital trailers on releases now?

I seem to remember a time when each film would play a DD trailer, the canyon one, the train one, egypt, rain

We still seem to treated to DTS trailers and of course THX ones.

Any comments?

They used to appear on laserdiscs a lot but personally i've only seen 2 on dvd the canyon one and the the helicopter one (the one i see most often). They even use the helicopter one at our cinema. I liked the steamtrain one the best, that sounded great when I only had Dolby Surround. Can't imagine what it would sound like with DD5.1...wow!!

I saw the train one for the first time last night when I went to see "Jeepers Creepers" (excellent movie btw) -- unfortunately their shoddy sound system and me sitting right up against the left hand wall meant it didn't sound that impressive.

[Ono]

Yep, R1 and R2 DVDs rarely carry DD Trailers and never have.

The R3 DVDs do almost always though.

I think columbia tristar are the only ones who use them now. Although there wasn't one on the Final Fantasy disc, that i remember.:(

The Shiri: SE DVD (R0) as a gallery of the DD demos!!

[kanedaa]

yup, that Shiri disc is great for checking out the DD Trailers - although I noticed the other day that the included DTS trailer has a DD5.1 soundtrack (not DTS!!)..

also, most R4 discs seem to have the DD trailers (in my experience anyway).

Isn't the little DTS: The Digital Experience demo thing at the start of Shaolin Soccer in fact ProLogic? Most bizarre! :confused: :nuts:

Despite problems with the lack of seemless branching on the Region 2 version of STARGATE - Directors Cut (new material has been added but left in it's raw state, worse than VHS) it not only has both DD & DTS sound tracks but has a DD trailer (sandstorm) & DTS trailer.
Incidentally, the problems with this disc do not seem to have become common knowledge. I searched many forums for help without a trace until I e-mailed Home Cinema Choice. Several other Stargate Fans have now confirmed that MOMENTUM PICTURES has failed to produce the goods:rolleyes:
