Hi,
Thanks so much for the free software - I will make sure we donate towards it.
I do have a question regarding the making of DCPs - we are struggling with creating them for a cinema. The bottom right hand side of the DCP when projected on to the screen curves up a little.
Could this be to do with not converting the DCP into the correct ratio or the fact the cinema has a curved screen?
For example a 1.78 ratio DCP has been made into 2.39 scope as I thought it selected them automatically.
I hope you can help me understand.
Best,
James

Hi all,
I compared the font size in a movie in DCPomatic Player to the same section
in another player (Neo-DCP) and noticed that they were not the same. I did
this test because in DCPomatic the subtitles of a Scope aspect ratio movie
were spilling outside of the image area. So I compared it in the other
player and the font size and position were much different and didn't fall
outside of the Scope image in the other player.
I was wondering if the specs for subtitles playback come from the xml in
the VF folder Dcpomatic Player?
Here are the specs for the subs on the DCP mentioned above:
" Font Color="FFFFFFFF" Weight="normal" Size="44" Effect="border"
EffectColor="FF000000" AspectAdjust="1.00"> "
Thanks so much!

Hi all,
I'm noticing that if there are multiple VF's on a DCP that there isn't a
way to choose which VF you want to watch. For instance as in the case I'm
looking at now, there is a Dutch language OV with a French subtitle VF and
an English subtitle VF but DCP-o-matic will only show the French sub
VF...but when I look at it on the server both VF's appear.
Another player that I sometimes use, Neo-DCP Player accomplishes this by
referring to the asset map which lists the various VF versions and allows
you to choose between them.
Is this something that might be possible in DCP-o-matic Player? That would
be great if so!
Thanks so much!

Hi newbie to Player here. I have been happily using Player in mac but I'm
working in Ubuntu 16.04 now and there is no download available...but I
heard you can build and launch Player from Terminal in Ubuntu. Any advice
on this?
Thanks!
Joaquin
Sir,
We are interested in installing DCP-o-matic on our machines in the lab in our department. Ideally, we would install it on at least 15 of the machines here. Is there a sort of site license that we could obtain for that? I understand that it’s technically freeware for individual users, I just thought I’d check to see if there was an institutional rate for your program.
