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against a newer version of the macOS SDK than previous versions, and has a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
I never had issues with hidden files. All DCI servers run Linux and are
aware of hidden files. It's just not 'pretty' if they go into a wide
distribution.
If you use a preformatted disc - use Mac OS disc utility to check wether it
is MBR or GUID/GPT formatted.
GUID/GPT can cause REAL issues with some servers - to the point that the
content vanishes from the disc. Make absolutely sure it uses an MBR
partition! If disc utility shows GUID - erase the disc and re-initialise
with the MBR option.

Hi.
I work on MAC and on PC. I make the DCPs with the MAC and when they are finished I pass them to the PC and from the PC I transfer them to the external NTFS hard disk to deliver. Could you copy them directly from the MAC to the NTFS hard drive? I have the NTFS for Mac application.
Thanks.
Ok, I understand, thank you very much for your complete explanation. very friendly. see you soon a greeting.
thanks

You may copy the content of that folder into the root directory, or, the complete folder 'Bewarethechild_FTR-1-25_F_NORSK-ES_51_2K_20200708_SMPTE_OV'
For that single DCP, it makes no difference. However, if you want to transport multiple DCPs on one disc, you need to use folders, as some files of a DCP always carry the same name and without a folder, can not be separated. In general, I would recommend copying the folder - it also makes sure you don't miss a file.
While it is allowed to change the folder name manually (but absolutely nothing inside that folder), if you do so, make sure you avoid any special chars outside the 'common' small ASCII charset, as some servers have then trouble recognizing the content. So, A-z, underscore, hyphen, nothing more.DCP-o-matic checks the CPL/folder name for compliance when you generate the project/DCP, but if you change it manually afterwards, you're on your own.This happens often with film titles that contain german umlaute, accents/diacritics, etc. Stay away from them - never name your DCP 'Jordi_Miró_FTR-1-25_F_NORSK-ES_51_2K_20200708_SMPTE_OV'

Hi Carl, Good morning, I hope you are well.I have a couple of doubts…
1. When I deliver a DCP to the client on hard disk, do I have to copy the folder with the name to the hard disk root, for example Bewarethechild_FTR-1-25_F_NORSK-ES_51_2K_20200708_SMPTE_OV or just the contents of this folder?
2. What do I have to do to be able to check without any playback problems with DCP-o-matic 2 Player? My machine is powerful and playback is not smooth.
3. What program do you recommend for exporting subtitles (SRT) to import them into DCP-O-Matic 2?
Thank you very much and greetings.
