Our DVD of "Chicken Run" has a DTS track.
Nope, sorry. dts on a DVD or a bluray is absolutely nothing at all like real cinema dts, which is what I am talking about here.
That being said, yes the 35mm prints of Chicken Run did carry a cinema dts timecode, but I don't have access to a print.
Of the Derann list linked, this is what COULD be done if a Super8 print surfaced:
Die Hard with a Vengeance
Runaway Brain (Mickey Mouse cartoon)
Speed
Star Wars Pod Race
These were other titles released in dts theatrically, but I don't have access to a 35mm print to dupe the timecode:
Grease (this had a re-issue in the late 90s)
Star Trek Generations
Wizard of Oz (another one with a re-issue in the late 90s)
Basically the timecode from the 35mm print has to be duplicated while making a video transfer. Then the Super8 print has to be transferred to video, the timecode signal conformed to the Super8 print, then the timecode transferred into the balance stripe of the Super8 print using that video output for sync.
THEN the Super8 print could be played by sending the audio track carrying the timecode information from the balance stripe into a cinema dts player such as the XD20 player which would then output the 6 channel original cinema mix.
It's not simple, but it would be phenomenally awesome as a demo. I've got mint condition prints of Aliens and Toy Story I would be willing to trade for Speed or Die Hard 3 so I could do this. (Of course I would document it on youtube.)
