[Jukebox-list] Movie Sound

[Ed Inman]

I stand corrected. John is absolutely correct. My movie projector dates to 1937 and I mostly play old drive-in and B-movies in my back yard--so obviously my knowledge of, say, SDDS vs. DTS is cursory at best.

I do wish I could be as enthusiastic about digital projection as John and many others in the industry are, but I still believe a well-printed 35mm print delivers better color saturation, sharpness, and contrast than does the most expensive DLP projector. If I want to watch a big screen digital image I'll stay home. At a theater I prefer film--but of course I still prefer 45 rpm records over CD's too.  I guess I'll just have to get over it (LOL).
