Sound Trailer Preservation

Anyone down for preserving some rare ones?  There are several places online to get most THX/Dolby/DTS trailers.  But with all the discussion of the DTS trailer for Jurassic Park, I figured why not maybe make this thread a catch all for anything else.

Dolby Stereo trailers?  Ultra Stereo?  YouTube has some but the quality is usually pretty shitty.  

I'll start things out with seeing if anyone wants to tackle the DTS trailer.  I've ripped the audio from the JP DTS cinema discs and would just need someone to do the proper editing.  The video is pretty readily available as a 480p .VOB that we'd want to upscale.  Of course, a scan of the 35mm trailer itself would yield better results, but it never really looked that good anyway.  

Let me know if you're interested, and I can PM you the audio.

The ONLY actual film trailer I have is for TPM and since I have the discs to go with it I've probably got the audio for the trailer too. This could be a good project ..... a collection of actual film trailers one would see at the theater instead of coming from DVD. It might also make for a nice addition to a project that is using DTS cinema audio ..... to kind of customize it I guess. Good thinking boris ...... :)

RE: Sound Trailer Preservation

I was actually thinking more along the lines of Dolby, DTS, THX, etc. trailers but if while we're at it, normal trailers would be great.  My dream would be the original theatrical trailer for Pearl Harbor with the music from the Thin Red Line.  It was never released on any format.

I've got the DTS trailer disc with the audio on it somewhere.  Getting a better picture would be a little bit more of a problem.

I was thinking the same thing as you but it didn't come off sounding that way, sorry.

This is a nice preservation of the Mancini-scored Dolby SR trailer - 720p no less!

Unfortunately it doesn't have the original audio - I have a copy of a copy which might prove more authentic if they were to be synced up.

I'm trying to find an online version of another SR trailer with a bee flying around - again, I have a somewhat fuzzy version but it needs a better preservation than that.

Good job. (Though I've read on forums that there was SOME superimposed text mention of DTS? I didn't see JP in the theater, so I don't know for sure. Better not to guess what it may have said, or at what point it appeared...)

As I said in the main DTS thead, the regular, post-JP "This theatre features DTS Digital Sound" version would be great to preserve. I've always loved that bass ending with that weird noise as the words slide in.

As a kid (b. 1987), my local premium-sound venues all seemed to be DTS; I saw The Digital Experience, and in THX-certified auditoriums I saw Grand and Tex, and occasionally Broadway (I remember that one on Titanic, and possibly the Star Wars SE's). I don't think I ever saw a Dolby Digital trailer until 1999. And I never found myself in an SDDS theater, so I didn't see those until the Internet.

Boris, I don't recall you ever answering if you have that later standard Digital Experience on disc - do you? I believe it was a separate disc, just as the trailer came by itself.

I have several trailer discs, and it would be on those for sure.  Let me make some time to rip that and I can post it.
