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
Thank you for your script, Wolfgang.
Today, I finally managed to install it on my machine and ran the inspection
using it to find out I had no errors with my InterOP DCP I had created
earlier this week.
It gave me many hints related to Digital Cinema Naming Convention, but no
errors.
By the way, I'd like to give you a feedback on what your script might not
have caught, but since I have the trial version of easyDCP player, it won't
show me what the actual warning it gave me. So, unfortunately, I don't
think I can help you about it.
Thank you all for your replies once again!
Best regards,
S.N.

Hello everyone,
I had a quick question.
What's the difference between DCP-o-matic and Davinci Resolve (without
using easyDCP plugin) in terms of how they convert source material into
jpeg2000 (XYZ color space)?
My master video is Apple Prores HQ.
Basically, I have used Davinci Resolve (without using easyDCP plugin) and
openDCP to make a DCP in the past, and I was successful, but Davinci
Resolve crashes randomly sometimes these days, so I wanted to give
DCP-o-matic a shot.
I guess I can just do a test conversion with DCP-o-matic and check the
result with my eyes, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask...
If anyone with the knowledge could kindly inform me about it, I'd be much
appreciated!
Best regards,
S.N.
Hi There,
No need for help at this point. I found the package. The directory
structure is a little different. I just had to look.
Cheers.

Hi Carl.
I hope all is well.
I am trying to use your program for the first time.
I obtained it from the classifications division and installed it from
the business card USB they circulated.
I am following the instructions in the word file they included.
I am trying to make a silent DCP with a "No Smoking announcement of 10
seconds.
It all seems to work OK but when I try to load the package onto the GDC
Server I can see the folder I have made but when I try to ingest I get
the message "No Packages Found".
I have looked in the folder. It seems to have files with bits in them...
Just wondering if there might be anything silly I could have done??
Appreciate your thoughts.
Many thanks,
Scott.
