I assisted a Short-Film DCP conversion, they supplied 10 versions, of wich 9 are subtitled. Among those with special charsets, the greek and cyrillic versions seem to come out nicely, but the chinese version doesn't show any subtitles, just three dots per title in some cases. I have yet to see the source material for these subtitles, but anyway, does someone have experience with chinese subtitles and proper font/charset selection? These are SMPTE DCPs.

I am bringing this up on the list as I may not have understood the issue completely myself, feel free to comment...
I rarely do split video/audio projects, so never came across the issue myself doing real work, but I remember we talked about it from time to time already.
Consider the following situation: Someone wants to create a DCP from content created at 25fps, he creates either a video or image sequence with 25fps, and a split audio file with that timing reference as well.
Now, in DCP-o-matic he want's to create a 24fps version. It is not a problem to instruct DOM to recalculate the video frame rate, stretching the video in absolute length.
But what about the audio timing reference if I do NOT want to process the audio file externally to 24fps? I should be able to tell DCP-o-matic 'use this audio, but resample to a 24fps reference'. Actually I though that was possible using the frame rate input box under 'Content'->'Audio' - but it seems this is not possible. I can input '24' there instead of '25' (as I would with the video), but nothing changes about the audio sample rate?

Dom it's supposed to lowercase the language of burnt-in subtitles, but
I can't figure out when does it.
I tried a few times with subtitles already burnt in the source video
and they are always upper cased.
As I see it, if I add a subtitle language on the ISDCF name dialog and
there is no subtitle track by dom, it could be considered as burnt-in
in the source material. Upper casing only when dom is creating a
track.

Hmm, weird, I sure do a fair bit of testing in DOM, but completely missed the part where the audio track/stream selection was eliminated and instead all available channels turn up in the audio matrix ;-) I noticed this is already the case in good ol' 1.83...
While I like the idea and option to choose from all available tracks, even mix tracks from different languages, I would prefer to get some help in selecting the intended track from within DOM. Ffprobe does deliver language designations, and while they may not always be there or valid, it would sure be nice if the audio matrix could be enhanced with them? I do like the fact that DOM only chooses and assigns the first stream by default.
I simulated it in the attached PNG, Carl, think about it. Maybe at the same time lines and columns could be given a source/DCP track designation as well? As an experienced user, it is very clear what goes where, but at first, it may be confusing to only see the matrix alone.

A little push to http://dcpomatic.com/mantis/view.php?id=747
It would be really helpful. Looks like now if you move any file you
basically lose the ability to reopen your projet.

Hi all.
Is it possible to "re-pack" an existing DCP without re-encoding the video?
I have a couple of DCPs which have problems with the sound so I'd like
to make a new DCP using the existing DCP video MXF and replace just the
audio tracks.
I think this came up before and I thought it was supported in DCPomatic
2. But I tried it in v2.7.1 and couldn't work out how to do it.
Importing the J2K MXF file works fine, but with colour conversion set to
"none", when it came to make the DCP, from the slowness of the process
it appeared that the video was being re-encoded rather than copied.
Did I use the wrong options, or is this not supported in DCP-o-matic at
present?
Any help much appreciated...

Hi all,
Did anyone receive an email entitled "DCP Dr. Stefan" to the email
address that you use to subscribe to the DCP-o-matic mailing list?
If so, please could you drop me an email off-list.
If you did, I apologise: it appears that the spammer may have joined
the list and then downloaded the list of subscribers. I have now
stopped this from being possible.
Kind regards,
Carl
Hi,
I'm currently trying to compile DoM on ARM CPU - Debian Jessie.
Everything go relatively smooth except for libasdcp-cth dependency which
is needed for libdcp and libsub.
Where can I get this packet?
Thanks,
Fred
