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
There is a compute thread setting in DOM that is used for J2K encoding.
In think one of the more recent code improvements was to do J2K DECODING while playing DCPs multithreaded as well. While I appreciate that I have 0 dropped frames in the player at 1/4 res, I notice that my 4core/HT MacBook only uses 4 threads while playing.
And even these are only loaded 50%. I am nearly sure this machine could do at least 1/2 res decoding, without dropped frames, if not full res.
Is there a way to improve this? How does the stand alone player decide how many threads to use? Or is OS X doing the thread distribution?
Wouldn't it be useful if DOM (main app) would use 1/4res when playing DCPs in preview as well, and per default? The preview window is probably not much larger in most working environments anyway.
