DTS digital Theater Trailer

[JimmyGreen1996]

Honestly the sound in these kind of trailers is better than the sound in the actual movie. :D

La primera vez he visto en el 1996 en los cines.

i remember this for jurassic park. still my fav one.

[hanscombe72]

First saw this for jurassic park 1993. A few times the audience would cheer when the screen went to static.

I love how everyone on YouTube remembers seeing this before Jurassic Park. Ironic that it's the first film to use this format.

If only I heard a movie in DTS with the proper equipment. Not just a PS3 streaming LPCM to the TV.

First time I heard this trailer was when my mom took me to see Jurassic Park, I was like what is this????? Then the movie started, and by the end of the movie, my ears were used to full bandwidth digital sound. Dolby Stereo would never sound the same to me again.

pls upload qube digital cinema

These sound test intros were the reason I always got to the theater way before showtime. Had to get the perfect seats for the perfect sound :)

@Textrybal why did they get rid of the digital sound trailers? i like the digital sound trailers, i wish the movie theaters would bring this back. the dgital sound test like the video you see here i like. but the best of them is sony dynamic digital sound.

@megaben99 There should be some sound format trailers still playing. SDDS is relatively a dead format, but there are still films encoded in it. There's a low chance seeing a SDDS trailer again. Since 2003, AMC replaced all of their SDDS auditoriums with Dolby Digital. DTS is starting to get rare and now has ambition towards the home market. Dolby Digital is now the standard, so it wouldn't be as exciting if you played a Dolby Digital trailer today. (to be continued...)

@RkivUnderground (cont.) THX, while not really a format, can still be used today. Their marketing department is very creative, and it's very likely to see the "Amazing Life" THX trailer in a THX auditorium. The most recent Tex trailer and "Cavalcade" are common, but a bit less. Thing is, one of the theaters that I used to go to (and go to sometimes on business holidays) used to be THX-certified in 2005. Thing is, I never saw a THX trailer there during that time. (to be continued...)

[RkivUnderground]

@RkivUnderground (cont.2) A friend of mine who goes to that theatre reported a THX trailer before "Star Wars Episode 3." The only sound format trailer I've ever seen in a cinema is Dolby Digital's "Egypt", and it played before "The Chronicles of Narnia" (2005) at a Clearview Cinema during its time. If these are related, I remember seeing DLP Cinema (2008), Real D (2005 and 2009), and Dolby Digital Cinema (2005) trailers at digital cinemas. (to be continued...)

[RkivUnderground]

@RkivUnderground (cont.3) In fact, there is a new digital sound format trailer for a new sound format. That format is Dolby 7.1 Surround. It's a little sacre, as there are a few amount of Dolby 7.1 cinemas in the US, hopefully growing. To get you excited, it's going to be similar to SDDS, so you can relive those days, but by a different brand. That's because both formats have up to 8 channels of sound. Sorry for being long, but I hope this explanation helped you.

[megaben99]

@RkivUnderground do you think home theaters could play the sdds trailers? p.s. if i ever have a home theater (its probably not going to happen but you never know) its probably going to be underground and it will be a japanese themed movie theater (including all you can eat sushi, japanese snacks and drinks, a game room with japanese video games,a huge collection of both japanese and american movies, including adult movies and anime, and a weapons room if zombies try to invade).

[RkivUnderground]

@megaben99 That sounds awesome, Ben! I'm sorry to say that SDDS never contributed to the home market, but you can buy some SDDS decoders/processors on eBay (they're not cheap).

Just found that my original Hong Kong releases of "Shaolin Soccer" and "The Twins Effect" have this DTS intro. SWEET!

[luvindogadis411]

Never forget this DTS intro with Jurassic Park back in 1993. And it is still amazing to this day.

[luvindogadis411]

The original dvd release (now out of print) of "The Storm Riders" has this DTS intro.

[jediprettyboy]

First saw this the opening night of Jurassic Park in 1993 with my wife (at that time, girlfriend). I remember this being a big deal back then because Jurassic Park was the first movie to have this. Her high school band instructor sat behind us with their seven year old son who about had a seizure from the intense fear he experienced during the T-Rex attack. Needless to say, the theater was packed. Ahhh, the memories.

[aop2006]

i remember seeing that only once in 1997 when i went 2 c star wars. the sound shook the seats it was that loud! lol

[BenBopper]

@aop2006 I found it on my DVD copy of Annie.
