[DVD-o-matic] external Audio / pad with silence

by Andreas Eli

Hello! Yesterday I made 3 versions of a DCP with a little video, and because its mono, I wanted to try how it would sound like when the audio is C, LR and LCR. So I exported a mono uncompressed wav file from Adobe Premiere. I tried to listen to the file with VLC Player and looked at the codec (PCM L16 SE) and thought everything was fine. But in the cinema, the sound was only LR, no matter what, and was pitched down like crazy. Didn?t sound good at all :) What did i do wrong? Is there a problem that the video file has audio too, and i just choosed external audio, is the video file not allowed to have audio? And my secound question, I?m not sure what "pad with silence to X channels" does and what I do with it. It?s not written in the manual. Can I get a short explanation? Thanks and greetings from Vienna! Andi

[DVD-o-matic] DVD-o-matic version 0.126 released (also benchmarks)

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, DVD-o-matic version 0.126 is now available from here: http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic/download.php This fixes a variety of subtle and not-so-subtle bugs with recent versions. If you are having any problems, especially related to audio or strange DCP playback, I suggest you update. Also, I have started adding some benchmarks of DVD-o-matic's speed on various computers: http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic/benchmarks/ If anyone would like to contribute information (by running a couple of DCP encodes on their machine), please feel free. I hope this might help people who are planning to buy new PCs and who want to know how DVD-o-matic might perform. Best regards Carl Hetherington

[DVD-o-matic] subset encoding

by Carsten Kurz

one of my favourites ;-) I noticed that while 'encoding the subset' on partial encodings, the space for the resulting file is reduced as intended, but not the encoding time. Seems as if a partial encode will take as much time as a full encode. Could this be improved? I understand that the encoder needs to run through the whole file at some point, but it seems it will also take the time to encode all frames and just 'discard' the unnecessary ones? Is this needed to keep video and audio in sync? (I'm now using the Mac version 0.115, but this is the same under windows) Also, the DCI naming options include the option to use OV or VF. Is there any way to actually create a VF only or a multipackage, e.g. one OV version, one subtitle version, one localized version, each using the same video file? - Carsten
