Just seeing the numbers from wide releases in US. Basically, non-SMPTE
theaters are not relevant anymore. Some major studios are already nearly
fully SMPTE, theaters that didn't do the minimal updates will do them now,
for sure.
I would insist in going back to default to SMPTE as the standard for new
installs.

There are two arguments on this, and I tend to think that Manuel's right (especially
since I am only making SMPTE versions.)
But another argument is that since some festivals might be in 'less than updated'
facilities or with Phase One projectors that may or may not ever be SMPTE compatible, and
since a 'once-a-year' user might not know/notice the nuance of this, InterOp is a
good default.
I'd suggest a pull down or decision buttons that have no default, but with a box
pointing out that a choice HAS to be made.

Hi Manuel,
I think, on the whole, I'd like to wait a little longer: at least until
we've got to the bottom of the encrypted SMPTE problems with Sony systems.
It's interesting to hear the state of the US big releases though: thanks!
Regards,
Carl
