Hi all.
Does anyone have any pointers on converting a 3D bluray to DCP? The
bluray which is the source in this case has the 3D encoded as MVC. From
my reading, this means the right eye picture is encoded as a separate
stream (which is a delta from the left eye).
Have ripped the bluray with MakeMKV which recognises that it's an MVC-3D
stream. And the file it outputs appears to be the right size so I think
MakeMKV is not dropping the extra stream or something like that.
But I haven't found any software that can display both eyes at present.
DCP-o-matic doesn't see it, and nor does Bino 3D player or VLC.
I'm on Mac but can get hold of a Windows box if I need to.
Anyone encountered this before?
Many thanks,
Jim
Hi Carl,
when would one want to change this setting? I have seen this coming up on the development status sidebar on the website a while ago, but thought it would only turn up in the prefs or metadata.xml to be changed manually, not within the prefs/GUI. Now I saw this in advanced prefs in 2.11.27

2.11.24 looks good with Dolby TrueHD streams, also 7.1. Although it starts recalculating the audio when I switch from 5.1 to 7.1 (12ch) DCP to see the BSL/BSR channels. Maybe it's better to include all available audio channels in the input file for analysis right from the start? Or maybe DOM does that already, but is false triggered towards a new analysis if the DCP audio arrangement is changed? No big deal for short pieces, but for full length features, it is annoying if another 20min analysis run is started, especially since R128 proves to be very useful now and I would advise everyone to do perform the full audio analysis.
It also appears as if calculating audio is now a lot faster than before (2.11.22) - at least for the 7.1 THD full length feature, it now only takes around 13min, compared to around 45min for the 5.1 ac3 version yesterday. Yes, the 5.1 ac3 analysis also computes much faster now with .24 - a mere 6min!
I notice that the more audio streams in the input file, the longer it takes - probably approx. the same time for each stream, or every single audio channel adds up. So it is certainly wise to only include the necessary streams in the MKV, or to extract unnecessary streams before with an MKV splitter.
While I understand it's busy at DOM-HQ, may I hint again at:

because it is probably very easy to implement coloring the graph legend ;-)
