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

[DCP-o-matic] dcp sound worries

by Nehtarios Kapatsoris

Dear Carl, First and foremost, thank you very much for your manual and generally your kind support. Secondly, i have created for the first time a dcp and i am bit worried about the sound.In detail, you say at your manual (7.2 Show audio) that 0dB represents full scale so if there is anything near this we are in danger of clipping the projector's audio inputs.What exactly are the dangers?And secondly i hava attached a print screen of my audio show.Could you please check it and if it is not good could you please advice me how to change it? Thank you in advance, | | Virus-free. www.avg.com |

[DCP-o-matic] Kinothek Stuttgart. Installationsproblem ...

by Kinothek Stuttgart

Hello together, sorry for taking your time. Perhaps you can answer me, if you are so kind. Thank you very much. We are using DCP-o-matic for a long time, exclusively till now for making slides without audio tracks. There were no problems. Just till now. After received error messages, we uninstalled the whole program, and we installed it new (site: dcpomatic.com). After downloading and doing the whole procedure (>executing>setup wizard>licence agreement>destination folder C:\Program Files\DCP-o-matic 2>choose components) there is a window with the error message: Error opening file for writing (C:\Programfiles\DCP-o-matic2\bin\libintl-8.dll), then the installing process doesn´t continue (Can´t write). What´s wrong? Perhaps there´s a little link for it, otherwise I have to instruct my system supervisor to have a look. Kind regards from Stuttgart. Kinothek Stuttgart. Asangstrasse 15. 70329 Stuttgart. P.S. : Is it the problem to do a registration?

[DCP-o-matic] 3D Slide show generation very slow V2.10 compared to version 1.79

by Andrew Hurst

I used DCP-o-matic 1.79 2 years ago to successfully run a 3D convention in the UK. After 2 years I now have to do some more and loaded version 2.10.5 I am only trying to generate a test slide show of still images and where version 1.79 rips through in no time version 2.10 is taking for ever. It is as if it isn't realising it is using the same still image for all 240 frames of 10 seconds and doing the same calculations over and over again which 1.79 certainly didn't appear to do, it distinctly did it for one frame and quickly repeated it. Is there a setting I need to change or is it a bug in some new code? I am primarily using it on a MAC with OS-X 10.6.8 But I have just downloaded the latest version to a PC with Windows 10 and although it is 10 times quicker as a machine it still took 5 minutes to generate a 6 image slideshow of 10 seconds each. Any help appreciated. Andrew

[DCP-o-matic] 3D Slide show generation very slow V2.10 compared to version 1.79

by Andrew Hurst

I just thought to test with 3D turned off on both content and output and it behaves as I would expect creating the slide show in a matter of seconds. I then tried 2D Content to 3D output which is quick and 3D content to 2D output equally quick. Changing the input scaling each time to force regeneration of the video files. Only 3D content to 3D output slows down and just munches through every frame like its never seen it before. Hope that helps, and may be explains why the bug has gone unnoticed, there won't be many of us making 3D slide shows.

[DCP-o-matic] Sony Encrypted SMPTE Test

by Carsten Kurz

Okay, I tried a KDM created by KDM-Studio, and it didn’t work. Same result as with the KDMs created by DCP-o-matic directly. I don’t create KDMs too often, so I had to rethink the whole process, here is what I did: I had created the SONY as a screen in KDM Studio before. For the same DCP-o-matic project I created SMPTE KDMs for, I created a DKDM using the certificate KDM-Studio provides. No complaints. I created a new screen in DCP-o-matic using this certificate, and created a KDM (DKDM) for it. I created a new production and booking in KDM Studio with this DKDM. I made sure all the windows fit. Then issued KDMs, received them via email (see below), and ingested them on the Sony. Ingested the feature on the Sony. KDM was shown attached to the feature as in all my previous Sony tests. Tried to play - got the same result… I will now try to replicate this same process with IOP. - Carsten > Anfang der weitergeleiteten Nachricht: > > Von: KDM Studio <delivery(a)dcptools.com> > Betreff: KDM Delivery 'Test_SMPTE' 'Test für Sony' for 'Linden-Theater' > Datum: 13.

[DCP-o-matic] Pleeeeeeeeze...!

by Carsten Kurz

Okay, before I go to sleep, I want to say something: There is currently a limitation in DCP-o-matic concerning encrypted SMPTE DCPs that won’t play on Sony SRX-R515/510 systems. This bugs us for more than two years now. Or even since the 515 was launched. You will not believe how much time/effort Carl (with some minor help of some other people) put’s into resolving this. Things like this typically go mostly unnoticed, because it doesn’t actually sell as a new feature. And all this while Carl, among other things, is working hard on implementing audio in preview, and DCP export. So. Pleeeeeeeeeze! Donate! <http://dcpomatic.com/donate> Good night, and good luck - Carsten

Re: [DCP-o-matic] EasyDCP Player - full license anyone?

by Carsten Kurz

> Am 15.05.2017 um 04:19 schrieb Dave Taylor <davetaylor(a)berkeley.edu>: > > I do, what can I help with? The full version gives details from a formal analysis. There is an issue with INTEROP VOLINDEX files that bothers DOM and OPEN DCP users who test their DCPs using easyDCP Player demo - the demo performs the formal analysis, but gives no details about that complaint. I would like to know what the current version says in detail about DOM created IOP DCPs. So, if you find the time, just create a simple IOP DCP with the current stable release of DOM, open it in easyDCP Player, expand the log fully, and tell me what it says there. It should come out as a warning. - Carsten
