Thanks guys for your inputs. Somehow, I expected to read Kevin's final comments about this. It's just a bummer, because I run with two machines and I've taken the time to buy 3 reels of Dolby snipes, cut them up and insert at the ends of short reels and/or on the front of feature reels. Imagine a quick focus adjustment just seconds before changeover, then back again between formats and big reels!
I really like the Dolby snipes. I've been using them sort of, as feature presentation snipes. My other complaint about them is they are not stereo sound on super 8. I understand CHC does not have stereo dubbing equipment, so that's OK, but still alittle dissapointing. By the way for those of you who don't have these buggers, they are great graphics and look positively stunning in scope. You get five prints on one reel, 2 scope and 3 flat. Between formats there are duplicate graphics, but all 5 screened there are atleast several different versions. My personal favorite the very last one, flat, that has a helicopter flying through downtown, and the word Dolby is built into the theater's building design.
