Re: [DCP-o-matic] DCP-o-matic problem report

Having audio in preview in DOM never meant that much to me. Now being able to play the THX trailer with it’s excellent audio in DOM - I DO start to enjoy it ;-) - Carsten

As such, DCP-o-matic can not create a 3D DCP from it. It can not do depth-conversion from 2D to 3D. It can of course do a ‚flat‘ conversion, that is, create a 3D DCP that looks like 2D (L and R eye identical). But that makes no sense usually as most projection systems can play 2D and 3D content mixed anyway (doing the same thing, duplicating L/R on the fly during playout to keep the whole playlist in 3D mode). - Carsten

Hi Carl, I recently downloaded your DCP-O-Matic program and had success making 2D DCP files, however, I am getting a Error 114 when attempting to make a 3D version.

[DCP-o-matic] GREETINGS FROM THE ICA IN LONDON

by Marc Brown

Hi Carl, I hope you're well. I did email you a while ago regarding encrypted DCPs but I've hit a new unrelated wall I'm hoping you can help with. So I'm hoping to rip this crappy 30fps NTSC DVD that's 1:66:1 "floating" in a 16:9 container. I've done all the zoom ups, re-sized and re-edited the subs and my master MOV file is free of deinterlacing errors. I'm very happy with it....well, as happy as you can be from such a crappy source :-/ But here's the very weird thing. DCP'ing "creates" visible deinterlacing errors?? Ones not present (or atleast visible on the master file) but very pronounced on the DCP. [cid:image003.jpg@01D2DC72.F21C9E70] I suspect it's picking up on imperfections in the image?? Never had this with DCP O'Matic before, it usually does the opposite and removes the imperfections?? The obvious suggestion is to re-encode using one of your de-interlacing filters...the trouble is that's what you're looking at above, the second pass with the first filter enabled :( All it seemed to do was smear the image. Do you have any advice with this? I don't want to keep doing multiple passes and hit the same issues as sadly the film is feature length with no other masters available :( Huge thanks as always. Feel free to add the Institute of Contemporary Arts in the UK to your impressive roster of clients. We're on the Mall, so you're (rightly) a stone's throw away from royalty now and deservedly so :) Thanks again! M A R C

[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
