1997 "DVD Explanation" segment from Panasonic Demo Disc #3

Another explanation of the then-new DVD format on a Panasonic demo disc. Many Target stores played this on a loop which also included movie trailers for Beethoven, Babe, The Paper and The River Wild (all in 16x9, even though the first 3 of those movies were issued in 4x3 only at that time.)
I've never seen demo disc #2, would gladly buy even a burned copy if anyone has one.

I can only bet that the transfers of the trailers that Universal supplied Panasonic with are in stereo or mono--similar to their 35mm release prints' optical soundtracks--rather than any 5.1 stems that would've been used for DTS mixes, or even folded down to Dolby Stereo on 35mm stereo optical tracks.

They're actually all in 5.1, even though the 35mm trailers at the time (I worked at a theater then and kept one copy of most of them) had mono sound tracks. The first trailer I ever came across with digital sound was for "Heat", and in summer 1996 the studios FINALLY started producing all trailers in stereo and digital. Most trailers have just dialogue and sound effects in the center channel with no music which is fun if you can play just that channel by itself.
