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.
First posting on this list since Carl mentioned possibly shutting it
down. Perhaps it's had a chilling effect on public discourse!
A question for the font of knowledge...
I believe there's meant to be a limit on the size of a subtitles XML
file in a DCP of 256KB. i.e. for most features, the DCP needs to be cut
into reels to avoid exceeding this limit if there are soft subs.
However in practice we receive many features with subtitles as
single-reel DCPs (though Deluxe etc still seem to use multiple reels).
When making a DCP which is intended to screen widely, is it wise to
stick to multiple reels? Or was this limitation purely for the benefit
of series 1 projectors which are now mostly extinct?
If anyone has any practical experience of this (especially any
projectors where this limit does still apply), that info would be hugely
helpful.
Jim
