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] Workflow for making OV and VF(s) from MKV containing audio, video and subtitles.

by Christian Hove

Hi I cannot find a good workflow for making OV and VF(s) from MKV containing audio, video and subtitles. If I do the OV (containing only audio and video) first I am having trouble adding the subtitles later following the steps described in the manual (https://dcpomatic.com/manual/html/ch17.html). I do the folowing 1. New project 2. Add the OV DCP 3. Select "Split by video content" in reel type 4. Checking "Use this DCP..." in both video and audio tab 5. Add the MKV containing the subtitles (and audio+video from which the OV was made) Now the MKV is added to the timeline at the end of the DCP (all three tracks). So now I want to get the subtitles aligned with the DCP. In the timeline view I drag the MKV content on top of the DCP content and then click on some of the tracks. Now one of two things happens: 1. DOM crashes with: "An exception occurred: Programming error at ../src/lib/butler.cc:133 Butler video buffers reached 480 frames (audio is 0)." 2. DOM refuses to let me use DCP video ad audio: "Cannot reference this DCP: it overlaps other video content; remove the other content" Okay, my thinking is: I need to remove the audio and video track of the MKV: 1. In timeline view I separate the DCP and MKV again and remove the MKV audio track successfully (right-click and Remove). 2. I try to do the same for the video track, but then both video AND subtitle track is removed (and the MKV is removed from the content listing) So...what is a good workflow to make an OV with no subs and a VF with subs from a MKV? Cheers, Christian (using DOM 2.14.2 on Ubuntu 18.04)

[DCP-o-matic] 2.14.1 player fullscreen bug?

by Jonathan K. F. Jensen

Hi all. Super cool with the fullscreen feature in the player, but when changing to fullscreen I get a 1px white line at the bottom of the image (the last line of the 1080 it seems). Is that something anyone else have seen? Scope content: [image: image.png] FLAT content: [image: image.png] Another thing... is download of beta versions moved or is it just not working at the moment? https://dcpomatic.com/test-download is empty. Cheers.

[DCP-o-matic] The manuals take on doing a VF

by Christian Hove

Hi, In the manual at https://dcpomatic.com/manual/html/ch16.html#idp41 the button "Add folder" is referenced several times - Is it really the correct button? I would have thought the "Add DCP..." button was the one to use?!? /Christian

Re: [DCP-o-matic] Help with current MacBook Pro in player/preview

by Carsten Kurz

Am 22.03.2019 um 19:36 schrieb cjflynn(a)digitaltesttools.com: > Carsten, hello > > > Playback was a bit surprising on my 4.2 GHz Intel Core i7 5K 27 inch Retina iMac. > 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. - Carsten
