Looks like when I change the gain for a sigle channel is not showing up in the Show Audio graphic. Also, the channel gain overrides the general gain or is relative to the other channels? Let's say I have a general gain of -10dB and center channel is -5dB, will center channel be -10dB or -15dB? Just to make it harder, it's an stereo source upmixed to 5.1 (up-mixer A) v. 2.0.41 Thanks!

[DCP-o-matic] Audio levels

by Carsten Kurz

We just had it on a german cinema newsletter - there has been a new 'memorandum of understanding' between german distributors, advertising agencies and mastering facilities that stricter LEQ(m) values should be adhered to for advertising and trailers. They explicitly mention Dolbys LEQ meter software ('Dolby Media Meter', around 750€), and values should be 85 Leq for Trailers and 82 Leq for other preshow content. Now that is revolutionary. TASA and Leq(m) is around since... say, the year 2000 or so...? http://www.tasatrailers.org/TASAStandard.pdf - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] DCP-o-matic 1.78.0 released

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, DCP-o-matic 1.78.0 was released. It is available from: http://dcpomatic.com/download This version includes: A new Russian translation from Igor Voytovich. An updated Italian translation from Davide Sanvito. An updated German translation from Carsten Kurz. An updated French translation from Thierry Journet. An updated Spanish translation from Manuel AC. Fix a regression causing “programming error” at the end of encodes in some cases. Fix one cause of hangs at the end of encodes (#508). Fix frame corruption and crashes when duplicating source frames in the DCP (e.g. with 25fps content in a 50fps DCP). Fix incorrect timing of sound content when used with video that is being run faster or slower than its default rate. Fix a couple of errors when trying to put 1920x1080 content into a Scope container with no scale. Fix potential crash on encoding a second film in a session after closing the first. Use the number of mapped audio channels for the DCP name (not the number of DCP channels) (#479). Speculative fix for KDMs being rejected by EasyDCP player. Remove 1.37 ratio and correct Academy ratio to 1.375. Use a less accurate but much less time-consuming hashing method for content, dramatically speeding up examination of large files. Fix snap to work for all edges (#473). Fix hiding of filters edit button when there are a lot of filters (#475). Allow the audio parts of combined video/audio files to be removed in the timeline, which just unmaps the audio (#316). Only allow even DCP audio channel counts between 2 and 16 inclusive. Remove use of VRFY in SMTP sessions (#477). Examine a whole file to find its length if there is no readable header. Fix update checker. Thanks to Carsten Kurz, Igor Voytovich, Christian Hove, Jose Angel Velasco Fernandez, Steve Smail, Markus Raab, Davide Sanvito, Thierry Journet and Manuel AC. Six new supporters have been added since 1.77.0: thanks to Jose Angel Velasco Fernandez, Christopher Gray, Rui Pereira, Lawrence Towers, Frank Wenz and Roland Wirtz. Best regards, Carl

[DCP-o-matic] Scaling options/Academy

by Carsten Kurz

Hmm, funny I didn't notice this earlier, but... The scaling options show: 4:3 Academy 1.375 However, Academy IS 1.375:1. The older silent/pre-Academy AR is 1:1.33, which is the same as 4:3 - so, can we get rid of ONE of these scaling choices? That would be nice, wouldn't it ;-) I am currently redoing the german translation and decided to beef up the aspect ratio naming a bit, so we have numbers and names. e.g. 1.78:1 (16:9/HD) 1.85:1 (Flat/BW) 2.39:1 (Scope) That should make it more clear to beginners. At least, I think it's important to also show real numbers there, not only names, because they can be misleading sometimes. - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] Sad DCP-o-matic performance under Ubuntu

by Andrew Levine

Hi there, After being unhappy with the Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit running on my new old Dell-box (updating all the time, running wild with strange processes etc.) I installed Linux. Tried an old DELL 10.x install first, but that that did not have the necessary dependencies for DCP-o-matic. Upgrading to version 12–with some complaints by the installer–let me finally add the package, but it would not start DCP-creation. Putting a new 14 on the box failed, but I could do a clean install of version 12. Major performance increases? DCP-o-matic encoded at a little over 1 fps, as opposed to >10 under Windows. OK, it is using about one of the 24 cores available… Upgrade to v 14 was painless, but the performance has not increased. Does someone have an idea where I might be going wrong? The BIOS settings seem to be OK. Multicore and multithreading etc. Is there some setting I have to do in some Linux app? When I use the systems analyser I can see periodic activity of all cores with v 14, but that is just a wide spike, and after that it is back to crawling speed. And this setup should run so much better. I am a bit frustrated currently, but not enough to download try to read the source code ;-) Any ideas anyone? Many thanks in advance, Andrew

[DCP-o-matic] DCPs with mono and 3.0 audio

by Andreas Eli

Hello! I need a little help, maybe someone knows what I am doing wrong. 1. When I make a DCP (using DCP-o-Matic 1.77) and set the audio channels in the DCP Tab to 1, for a mono DCP, I end up with seeing only the left channel in the Content/Audio Tab. So rooting the audio to the center is not possible. When I do it before setting the audio channels to 1, I can root the audio to the center, but the DCP has no Audio at all in the end. And when I try to ingest it, the Doremi says "Unsupported odd number of audio channels(1)". Ingest Error. 2. When I try to make a 3.0 DCP by rooting the left and right channel also to the center and set the audio channels to 3, the Doremi is also not happy and doesnt ingest it. I know, 3.0 is not a DCI compliant, so maybe thats the reason and the solution is to not choose it? Possible workaround could be to set the DCP Name by hand and not use ISDCF Name. Setting audio channels to 6 and name it _30_ in the title, right? Thanks for your help! Andi

[DCP-o-matic] Versioning

by Carsten Kurz

Carl, have you thought about how multi-version capability could be implemented into DCP-o-matic? I understand that currently for most people it only makes sense for timed-text which is only in 2.x, but I guess one could still think about ways how to implement it? - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] Mac OS X legacy support

by Carsten Kurz

I remember a thread in the forum where one guy was running dcp-o-matic on a G5 PowerMac. I was surprised it actually seemed to run on a PPC. Does anyone know exactly which OSs are still supported? A friend just wanted to test-drive it on his video-editing G5 running Tiger/10.4, but it didn't start. Same result on an Intel iMac running 10.5.8. The lowest OS X version I do usually test is 10.6.8. I think the guy on the support forum mentions 10.7 on a G5. I always thought 10.5.8 was the latest OS X version supporting PPC? - Carsten
