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

Re: [DCP-o-matic] question for conversion

by Carl Hetherington

The paragraph directly below the one I sent you last time says this: "Finally, as with video, you can choose Make DCP from the Jobs menu to create your DCP. This will be much quicker than creating a DCP from a video file, as DCP-o-matic only needs to encode a single frame which it can then repeat. " So: choose Make DCP and it will make your DCP.

[DCP-o-matic] Apologies: mailing list spam

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, Apologies for the spam that just made it onto the DCP-o-matic mailing list. This was due to a mistake on my part: my ISP has recently changed their email server and I made some exim configuration changes to fix some problems. These changes had the unintended consequence of bypassing mailman's checks. I have reported the mail to spamcop and fixed the exim configuration so it should not happen again. Sorry, Carl

[DCP-o-matic] DCP-o-matic release candidate

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, 2.11.77 is now available from here: https://dcpomatic.com/test-download and barring disasters this will be the release version 2.12.0. Any last-minute testing would be welcome. The OS X version has had a bit of "adjustment" in the last few days to get it past Gatekeeper so that in particular needs a work-out! Thank you, Carl
