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
Hi all,
I have a new version of DCP-o-matic here:
https://dcpomatic.com/rc-download
There have been some bug fixes, but more importantly this version is built
against a newer version of the macOS SDK than previous versions, and has a
number of changes to comply with changes in Apple's notorization
requirements.
I was hoping to leave these fixes until 2.16.0 but Apple have quietly
changed some things and forced my hand.
I would be very grateful if anybody could take the time to test it.
It won't run on anything earlier than macOS Mavericks but I will upload a
different version for old OS versions soon.
Thank you!
Carl
Dear Carl,
Our customer Mrs. Deickert is working with your wonderful tool to create frequently DCPs for her cinema.
We created a remote working solution for, the Sony Server is connected to a small PC with is continuosly connected to the Internet. First we tried Apple iCloud synchronization to bring the DCP files from her Macbook Pro to the Windows PC, now we switched to GDrive.
Currently we face the issues that the GDrive sync app does not sync two files which are technically identical but have a different naming. I speak about both the j2c and the file in the movie folder. I do not know why during the export you save the video file with two diffenent names. Is there a way to disable the second video export in the movie folder? As GDrive is skipping the j2c movie file, the server does not allow to ingest the DCP in a correct way. Do you have any idea?
Thank you and best regards from Munich
René

Hello from Berlin, Germany.
I need help with exporting the necessary data out of dcpomatic in order for a posthouse to make me a DKDM that I can use, to create KDMs for festivals. I’m the director of that movie and we agreed to outsource this process from the posthouse to me to safe a lot of money and time for the KDM creation.
I exported the „KDM Encryption Certificate“ as explained in the manual and sent it to the company. They said, they need also a pem file. I didn’t know which file was right, so I exported everything to them what I found under the keys tab. 4 or 5 files. Then they finally made me the DKDM. But when I try to open in in the KDM Creator it failes and warns, that it maybe was made with the wrong certificate.
We are lost. Can you help me? Which files are exactly needed in order to create a DKDM and where do I export them?
Thanks, Martin

Hi all.
I'm making a DCP of compilation of short films. Half the films are 4K
source, the other half are 2K.
If I make the DCP as 4K, the 2K films will get uprezzed to 4K, but the
majority of cinemas will probably only have 2K projectors, so will
downres to 2K again.
Will that result in the 2K films looking worse than they would have if
the DCP was made 2K in the first place?
i.e. This would involve 2 translations: (1) DCP-o-matic 2K -> 4K scaling
and (2) J2K decoding discarding a resolution level. Are the two
translations a good mirror of each other? Or do they work in different
ways so it could result in the 2K film looking less sharp than if DCP
had been encoded in 2K in the first place?
Obviously, the 4K films would look less sharp if encoded as 2K. But what
I'm wondering is whether I need to make both 2K and 4K DCPs so the films
can be presented optimally in all cinemas, or whether just a 4K DCP will
cover all cases.
Hope this makes some kind of sense!
Jim
