[DVD-o-matic] Intrepid OS X users needed

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, I've made a DMG of DVD-o-matic for Mac OS X which seems to work ok on 10.6 and 10.8. I would be grateful if anyone has the time to give it a quick test on whatever Mac they have around. It's available from here: http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic/test-download.php Any reports (good or bad) are welcome to the mailing list or directly to me. Cheers!

[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] image sequence in a MOV

by Manuel AC

I know the support of image sequences is ToDo list, so I tried to use a MOV referencing to the folder with the image sequence. Doesn't work :( But, same as a self-contained, including sound, works! Manuel AC

Actually it's a six core, HT CPU, but sure it screams. As far as I can see on my machine and as others quoted, HT helps with dvd-o-matic. Can you share some numbers on encoding speed? I was thinking about AMDs as well because you get more cores for less money, but it seems they can not be used as efficiently as with Intels. Also, the machine may well be used for various other types of video decoding/encoding, editing, AVCHD, h.264 - and from Sandybridge on, the Intels have some extremely fast video acceleration features to aid in these tasks. - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] How long does it take for you to convert a video?

by J-sun Bailey

I'm new to using DVD-O-MATIC, it's a great product, I'm running it on an older system: Windows 7 32bit Intel P8600 2.4 GHz CPU 4 GB RAM It's taking between 2-3 hours to convert a 15-30 minute movie/short, Is this average, I'm looking at upgrading to a quad core i7 processor with 32GB of RAM running Windows 7 64bit. I'm guessing this should speed up my conversion time quite a bit, but curious what others are seeing before I invest the money in this. Thanks in Advance.

[DVD-o-matic] BluRay Conversion too bright

by Carsten Kurz

Today I had to play a commercial BluRay, converted to DCP with MakeMKV and DVD-o-matic (0.89). It turned out much too bright on our Sony SRX-R515. This is a fairly new installation and the calibration is certainly perfect, I never see any issues on commercial DCPs and trailers. Initially I thought this was just a Gamma issue, but I found out that on this machine the Gamma for DCI content is already maxed out at 2.6, I can only set it lower. It was a straight conversion, no intermediate conversion, no filters, I chose REC709 in DVD-o-matic, and on the Sony projector our standard flat DCI preset. It wasn't subtle - about 30% of the movie showed decent contrast, most other brighter scenes were very milky, and in darker scenes shadows were torn into noisy dark green and blue. Detail was very good actually, I chose a no-rescale conversion (flat no stretch). This projector actually has a brightness, contrast and color saturation slider. Usually I never touch these things, because on a properly calibrated machine everything should be okay after the calibration. The DCI flat preset had these sliders in their default positions, which were 100 for contrast, 50 for brightness, 50 for saturation. I could actually fix the problem by reducing brightness to 30 and reducing colour saturation to 45. I played the BluRay in parallel to the HDMI input configured to REC709, switched back and forth and it matched quite well. I did not have more time for perfection, there was still a slight color shift between the two, but it was okay. I guess I will have to send my BluRay calibration disc through the same conversion to find out what is going on there. Any ideas? - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] DVD-o-matic version 0.95 released

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, DVD-o-matic version 0.95 is now available from http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic/download.php This release fixes various bugs. No big new features to speak of. The Mac version is coming along nicely: just a few fixes to the installer and we shall be ready to go! A late candidate has appeared for DVD-o-matic's name change: I am pondering (drum roll please) "DCP magic" Any opinions? Best regards Carl Hetherington -- DVD-o-matic: http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic
