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.

Hello,
I love your program! We use it for our local non profit theater and it has
been working great! Our projector has recently stopped liking our pre-show
for some reason when it comes to the 3D shows, so they have suggested
creating a pre-show using a 3D setting, even though the pre-show is not
shown in 3D. When I try this I continue to get the error that is attached
to this message. I'm wondering if I need to use a video file that has been
rendered in 3D? Right now I'm using a wmv video file that is not 3D. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Greetings DCPoMatic mailinglist,
I'm encountering an odd bug(?) during "cluster" encoding with 4
dcpomatic2_cli_server encoding servers and one master. The setup worked
for years without problems till now.
Complicating bug detection is that it works some times and gets stuck
other times. With the same source data!
Some Information about my setup
all using dcpomatic 2.9 (deb)
Running ubuntu 14.04
master (headless) + enc1 (kvm VM)
* amd64 8core 4GHz
* prep is done on different Desktop using
same path structure or with dcpomatic2_create
* dcpomatic2_cli is running with "only Enc Server"
options and there is a
dcpomatic2_server_cli -t 8 or -t14 on the same
VM
(results in much better frames/s when it works
compared to encoding it inside "dcpomatic2_cli"
on the master during cluster encode.
enc2 / enc3 / enc4 all ubuntu 14.04
* 4cores / 4cores / 2cores Hardware machines testing
different thread counts for cli_server with
-t 8 / -t 4 / -t 2
storage
* nfs
* debian 7.x (kvm VM)
All are conected with a hp pro curve 1GB lan
The syslog files on all machines only show normal messages!
The crazy part is that in about 95% of the stuck cases i can encode the
movie with only changing it with running "dcpomatic2_cli -r XXX"
I have included two dcpomatic log files with max debug options ...

Hi all,
I am looking (roughly) at what bugs/features might be fixed/added in
DCP-o-matic 2.10.0. You can see the current plan by going to the bug
tracker "Mantis":
http://dcpomatic.com/mantis
then logging in (if you have an account) or by clicking "Login
anonymously".
Then click "Roadmap" at the top of the page and you will see the
bugs/features that are planned for 2.10.0.
If you want to suggest a bug/feature that should be fixed, find it in the
tracker (or add it yourself, using "Report Issue") and then reply to this
thread and I will see if should be put on the roadmap ;)
Best regards,
Carl
Hi folks,
Is it normal when making a 5.1 DCP that upon playback, all the center channels and dialog can be heard in the left ear (stereo headphones) and I only hear ambience tracks in the right? I don’t remember this being the case in the past but its pretty consistent. I have other way to monitor the DCP after its created other than using Quvis’s DCP player.
Thanks,
John
