[DVD-o-matic] External mono

by Magnus Eriksson

Hi there, new problems (and problem solved) The source file this time was messy. A scanned 16mm documentary from the past. Sound was mono, but in the source file it was panned hard left in Dolby AC3 (2-channel). Right was silent. I pulled the AC3-track, converted it to mono (wav) and put it as external audio into DVD-o-matic on center channel. The other channels were left unchecked. DCP seemed OK, ingested fine on Dolby DSS200/220 (4.6.0 (13)) no problems when selecting it for playback but when hitting play everything crapped out. "No connection with Cat745", "Transport not available" and so on. Wasn´t there something about the allowed number of tracks in a DCP package? Hm. New try. This time I made an extra soundtrack with digital silence from the mono track. Checked every channel in external audio. Sound on center, silence on the other five. The DCP played just fine. Would it be possible for DVD-o-matic to automatically create silent tracks where needed when using external audio? */Magnus Eriksson*

[DVD-o-matic] conversion speeds?

by Carsten Kurz

Did anyone have the same experience: I was checking the trim feature yesterday with specially made test footage - an MP4 file with frame accurate numbers counting from 1 to 300, white numbers on black background. On my sandybridge notebook, it converted at around 4fps, no special processing (1998*1080 in, 1998*1080 out). With real word footage (but also a large number of black frames at the beginning), I only get around 1fps conversion speed, sometimes even below that. Is the J2k compression speed depending on content complexity or target datarate? I could see in the log that the MXF frame write intervals reflected these different conversion speeds perfectly. Both files on local disc. Will need to do some more testing. I have a large project with a lot of partial/trimmed conversions ahead. Carl - when using encode servers, I guess the main dvd-o-matic server will send uncompressed still images to the remote J2k encode servers? That's why a Gigabit network is beneficial? - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] Question/problem re: video trimming (0.89)

by Karim 'Kasi Mir' Senoucci

Hello all, I recently tried to cut a bit from the beginning an end of an mp4 source file in DVD-o-matic, which did not seem to work correctly. For my first try, I entered the start and end frame numbers (as seen below the video windows of DVD-o-matic) of the part I wanted to encode and "encode all frames and play the subset" as method. This resulted in the whole file being converted, just as if I didn't enter anything. For my second try, I entered the number of frames I wanted to cut from the beginning and the end of the video and selected "encode only the subset". Now, the *audio* was cut at the right point, but the video played from the beginning again. Additionally, I saved the project and loaded it at a later time. Now, the "Start" and "End" fields were set to "100" each, which bears no resemblance to what I had input into the fields before saving (750 and 251, respectively). How is this trimming supposed to work? What do I have to enter into the fields to get 750 frames cut from the beginning and 251 frames cut from the end? Any help is appeciated. Greetings from Germany Kasi Mir

[DVD-o-matic] Renaming

by Carsten Kurz

BTW - we discussed this shortly before - now that the Indiegogo campaign is over, wouldn't it be time to rename dvd-o-matic to something like 'dcp-o-matic'? Or will you wait until v1.0? ;-) - Carsten

Hmm, yes in that personal mail last week (suggestion to save trim params to project file). But I remember you asked me about sending my metadata file which I did not do so far, shame on me ;-) - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] Coloured subtitles

by Lilian Lefranc

Hi all, I tried for the first time to convert a bluray stream to a dcp. This file contains coloured subtitles for deaf people. dvd-o-matic does not seem to convert the colours correctly. White and green are ok, but the others are changed. I took Carsten's sample to author a simple bluray structure. Here is the m2ts stream: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1y6i3a27o81x7pc/count300bd24.m2ts Not a priority issue as external subtitle is preferred, but I noticed it testing the subtitle management. Lilian

[DVD-o-matic] Missing server

I tried installing the 0.89 version of DVD-o-matic on a 64-bit Ubuntu 13.04 but I can't seem to find any encode server. Main program and the batch-converter seems OK. /Adam Klotblixt
