[DCP-o-matic] ISCDF DCP naming contention version 9

by Jonathan K. F. Jensen

Hi Carl. Just a heads up. In the current test version (v1.69.35), the DCP naming convention v9 isn't completely integrated as far I can see. Currently, if I put in this text in the 'Name' box: *ActionNightTF4* I get this as DCP name: *Actionnighttf4* Only the first letter is capitalized, even though the v9 of the naming convention says the following about the Film Title field: "Words should be seperated by initial caps: MovieTitle". Please let me know if I have overlooked something. Thanks for a continuing fantastic effort with DCP-O-Matic (can't be said enough)!! Best regards, Jonathan

[DCP-o-matic] Preference location?

by Carsten Kurz

Probably interesting to more than just me: Where does DCP-o-matic store it's preferences in Win, Mac, Linux versions? I was just trying to zero my Mac version preferences by deleting net.carl.dcpomatic.plist, but it still keeps the previous prefs in the GUI. - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] 'Timing' window

by Carsten Kurz

Hi Carl, could you explain these options to us (the Trim settings in itself is clear, although it is always worth to mention they are offsets FROM the Start and FROM the end)? I know the 'Keep video in sequence' belongs to the content/timeline box above the Timing options, but still, what does it mean? And, a long time want to have - cue to any position with the play slider below the preview image, then hit a key or 'Set' button to input the current cue time below the slider into the Trim number boxes. Why do we have these 'SET' buttons anyway? What has become of the DVD-o-matic alternative options 'PlayTrim/EncodeTrim'? - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] odd numbers of audio channels

by Carsten Kurz

DCP properties in DCP-o-matic allows to set odd numbers of audio channels - how does it encode if I set it to 3,5,7? I see it updates the channel matrix accodingly, but what will be the resulting audio.mxf? - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] no MP3 for audio?

by Carsten Kurz

When I try to add an MP3 file to a project, I get an error: 'Error (could not find video stream)' Seems that the 'MP3' extension or the file header makes DCP-o-matic think it is a videofile? - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] more than 8ch of audio?

by Carsten Kurz

Currently, DCP-o-matic maxes out at 12 audio channels (which is fine ;-) ). The channel number is set under DCP properties. Will this actually create a 12ch BWF/MXF in the DCP, or will more than 8ch always create a 16ch BWF/MXF with unused channel padded with silence? Wondering wether 10/12/14ch BWF/MXF are allowed at all... - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] Dependency errors on Ubuntu 14.04

by dvdomatic＠ish.net

Several dependencies need to be updated: libboost-thread1.53.0 -> libboost-thread1.55.0 libboost-filesystem1.53.0 -> libboost-filesystem1.55.0 libboost-date-time1.49.0 -> libboost-date-time1.55.0 Overriding during installation still does not work because the binary links these libraries directly: > $ dpkg --ignore-depends=libboost-thread1.53.0 > --ignore-depends=libboost-filesystem1.53.0 > --ignore-depends=libboost-date-time1.49.0 -i dcpomatic_1.69.0-1_amd64.deb > * * * > $ dcpomatic > dcpomatic: error while loading shared libraries: > libboost_thread.so.1.53.0: cannot open shared object file: No such > file or directory

I suppose in an ideal world there Yes, PNG is part of the spec.
