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 ingest problem

by Vidámi Péter

Hello Carl and other Professionals! I have an issue with DCP-o-Matic 2.12.6. I have made a DCP, and it does not works on a DOLBY DSS 200 server & CHRISTIE CP 2230 projector. The DCP was made as an InterOp, non-encrypted, 24 FPS, Scope, 100 Mbit/sec bitrate DCP with 6 channel audio and no subtitle. It works in many cinemas, but it does not work in the mentioned one above. I have attached the followings in .rar: -The CLP, the assetmap, the pkl, and the volindex of the DCP which does not work -The preferences of the DCP (what setting I had in DCP-o-Matic when I made this DCP) -A screenshot about the folder of the DCP, which does not work -A screenshot from the cinema, which said that they receive the error message of something like this: "The file is not appropriate video format" As the actual screening is very close, I have to do something really quickly. My current plan is to import this InterOp DCP in the newest version DCP-O-Matic, and make an SMPTE version from it. Maybe SMPTE will work better than InterOp. I don't know whether it is matter that the DCP are in reels or continuous. What do you think? Do you have a better suggestion please? Any advice is very appreciated! Best regards, Péter

[DCP-o-matic] When are hashes created

by Jim Dummett

Hi Carl. I have a rather obscure question: At what point in the process of DCP encoding are the hashes calculated? Reason I am asking is that I have been making a large batch of DCPs but now I suspect that one of the drives I've been using is faulty. Some other files on the drive have become corrupt. I've checked that all the DCPs on that drive pass a hash-check, but... are the hashes calculated: 1. As the MXF files are created *before* they are written to disc? or 2. Files written to disc first, and then read back from disc afterwards to calculate hashes? Because DCP-o-matic has the lengthy "calculating checksums" phase at the end of encode, I am suspecting it might be the latter. If it is, then I am wondering if it's possible some of the DCPs I've made are corrupt. I'm thinking that if any of the data got corrupted between DCP-o-matic writing it to disc and then reading it back again to calculate the hashes, the hashes would reflect the corrupted data. And so the fact that my hash-check passes wouldn't guarantee the DCP is as it should be. Or is there some other integrity checking process which would make this impossible? Sorry for rather random question. Many thanks, Jim

[DCP-o-matic] Using DCPomatic2 inside vbscript ...

by Bjørnar Albertsen

Hi! :) I managed to convert some mp4 files some weeks ago, but now I´am stuck! I dont know why this is not working, but I think it has to do with quotation in VBscript or batch files. I need to be able to use the syntax from a wscript.shell object inside vbscript. And I just can not make it work … :( &%$#” or something like that ! :) What I need to do first is to find the name of the file to convert in VBscript (that is no problem) and then use this name/variable in wscript.shell to convert/create the DCP. All files are mp4 or mov files. Could you please first show me the DCPomatic2_create and the DCPomatic2_cli syntax when I just wish to convert a file with the name “SomeFile.mp4” that resides inside folder “C\Files\MP4-files\” and save the DCP to folder C\File\DCP-files\” I do not understand what I am doin wrong - but seeing the correct syntax can tell me where I´m going wrong. Then I know it´s just quotation in vbscript that is the problem … MediaMix Bjørnar Albertsen 41621220 > 4. okt. 2018 kl. 21.44 skrev carl(a)dcpomatic.com <mailto:carl@dcpomatic.com>: > > Hi Bjørnar, > > Thank you for the donation.

[DCP-o-matic] New image handling in DCP-o-matic 2.13.61 and above

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, I have switched DCP-o-matic 2.13.61 to use FFmpeg for still-image handling (rather than using ImageMagick). By "still-image" I mean input from a group of TIFF/EXR/whatever files rather than a MP4/ProRes/etc. I'm hopeful this will fix a number of problems; apart from anything else it should preserve resolution in files with more than 8 bits per pixel. I would be very grateful if anybody could test it: particularly those who have had gamma/other troubles with still-image files. Do let us know how you get on. Best, Carl
