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

Yes, that is similar to my experience with a 5k iMac. That's why I think the HighRes Retina Display of the MacBook Pro is the cause. You would probably need to set the window size very small to get a better playback performance. It's exaggerated on the Retina MacBook Pro as it offers a native 2560/1600 resolution on a 15" display, so, a better performing window size will result in a tiny video size. I'm still not sure if the actual video viewport resolution is the problem, as I can play half decode-res (999/540) in full screen on my older 15"/1440/900 MBP without any dropped frames, which would still be an acceptable viewport size on the much faster Retina Mac Book.
But, as that Retina machine even has trouble previewing the BBB source file in near-SD resolution in dcp-o-matic main, there must be something about the current display method causing this.
Carl is working on some hardware accelerated display method (e.g. OpenGL), but that's not ready for primetime, and it may be complicated to support it multi-platform (even though OpenGL is supported on all three common platforms). Maybe it is not the actual video output, but the color conversion? But that should strongly benefit from a faster CPU as between my older 4core MBP and that most recent 6core, but, the results do not cover that assumption.
I was trying to get Carl to set the video display optionally to the same size (or integer mutiples) of the actual decoded resolution, so to avoid scaling. Using the mouse and window resize elements, it is impossible to set it to a specific viewport resolution like 999/540 for half-flat.
So far, he hasn't been triggered by that idea. Maybe he missed it where I mentioned it. Maybe I should file a Mantis entry for it.
I am a bit concerned for that bad playback performance making it into 2.14 stable, as I notice many beginners are irritated about the dropped frames when testing their DCPs. Especially since Apple is nearly exclusively sold on those very high res displays now. Usually users can tweak it after some instruction about decode resolution and window size, but, as I saw it on that popular current MBP15", it can't be tweaked to a satisfying result.

Hello
I have tried DOM KDM creator. It is good soft
But generating KDM is not fully correct. Some IMB works, some not.
We have for creating KDM: Qube Master Pro, EasyDCP and Clipster and they
don’t have any problem with KDM
But your solution better in delivery part, because it does automatically
And I have question
How can it use with web GUI?
We would like to build some workflow for commercial use
Thanks
Sorry for my English))
Hi Carl.I have some doubts / problems of the DCPs with subtitles ....1. I export subtitles with FAB and SUBTITLE EDIT, and something I do not do well because I have several problems with size, position, ... There is some guide to learn how to export correctly and avoid these problems.2. If we put subtitles in a DCP can 2 "playlist" be made, 1 to watch the video with subtitles and 2 to see the same movie without subtitles? How should I do it?
Thank you very much and greetings

Hi Carl - I just downloaded your DCP-o-matic! I am trying to convert a mp4
file to a DCP file, but I am not allowed to start with my MP4 as you can
see from the attached screenshot. I have looked in the tutorials, forums,
FAQs, etc. and can't find this specific issue.
Can you please help me? I am not the most tech-savvy person on the planet
but I am pretty sure I can figure this out if I can just get my file
imported!
I'd also like to be added to the mailing list.
Thank you so much,
Kelly Marshall
