Hi Carl, could you explain these options to us (the Trim settings in itself is clear, although it is always worth to mention they are offsets FROM the Start and FROM the end)? I know the 'Keep video in sequence' belongs to the content/timeline box above the Timing options, but still, what does it mean? And, a long time want to have - cue to any position with the play slider below the preview image, then hit a key or 'Set' button to input the current cue time below the slider into the Trim number boxes. Why do we have these 'SET' buttons anyway? What has become of the DVD-o-matic alternative options 'PlayTrim/EncodeTrim'? - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] odd numbers of audio channels

by Carsten Kurz

DCP properties in DCP-o-matic allows to set odd numbers of audio channels - how does it encode if I set it to 3,5,7? I see it updates the channel matrix accodingly, but what will be the resulting audio.mxf? - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] no MP3 for audio?

by Carsten Kurz

When I try to add an MP3 file to a project, I get an error: 'Error (could not find video stream)' Seems that the 'MP3' extension or the file header makes DCP-o-matic think it is a videofile? - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] more than 8ch of audio?

by Carsten Kurz

Currently, DCP-o-matic maxes out at 12 audio channels (which is fine ;-) ). The channel number is set under DCP properties. Will this actually create a 12ch BWF/MXF in the DCP, or will more than 8ch always create a 16ch BWF/MXF with unused channel padded with silence? Wondering wether 10/12/14ch BWF/MXF are allowed at all... - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] Cloud-based KDM generation

by Carsten Kurz

http://www.dcinematoday.com/dc/PR.aspx?newsID=3627 'Qube Cinema to Introduce Cloud-Based KDM Service at NAB KeySmith.biz Offers Invitation-only Access to Easy Key Management Service for Independent Filmmakers & Postproduction Facilities' The interesting part here is that through this service, the user has access to a worldwide cinema server certificate database to create KDMs. Doing this in DCP-o-matic needs a specific certificate to be present/provided by the cinema beforehand. For most cinemas/operators, dealing with their certificate(s) directly is not part of their daily business. - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] DCP-o-matic 1.69.0 released

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, This version includes: * Various translation fixes, including a new translation to Dutch from Theo Kooijmans. * Fixes for a number of bugs, including: - failure to create KDMs (and bad initial start-end dates in the KDM dialog) on OS X. - lack of internationalisation on OS X. - glitchy subtitle display in some cases. - broken calculate-audio-gain option. - glitches in the colour conversion dialog on OS X. - bad rounding of timecodes in some cases. - an error on creating 0-audio-channel DCPs. - crash on trying to use DPX files. * Allow specification of the video frame rate that an audio file is synced to. * Add option to give left and right eye content separately for 3D. * Removal of some of FFmpeg's filters that don't work with image bit depths greater than 8 bits per pixel. * Allow up to 500MB/s JPEG2000 bitrates. * Improvements to the behaviour of the view's position slider near the end of films. * A tidied-up configuration dialogue, especially on OS X. * Auto-saving of film metadata before starting a DCP encode. * Some incomplete and clumsy attempts at allowing download of server certificates for KDMs. Thanks to Gérald Maruccia, Adam Colt, Thierry Journet, Theo Kooijmans, Max Aeschlimann, Andy Neddermeyer, Manual AC and Matthias Damm. You can download it from here: http://dcpomatic.com/download Let me know if you have any problems. Best regards Carl

[DCP-o-matic] Encryption & KDMs generation

by fred.bobigny＠laposte.net

Hi, I'm new to this list. So first, thanks for coding DCP-o-Matic, a great job that helps a lot. And a question: Would it be possible to reload an already made DCP not encrypted, and use DCP-o-Matic to encrypt it and then generate KDMs? Same question for a DCP which is already encrypted, may be with another software, and use the symetric key to generate KDMs? Thanks, Fred

[DCP-o-matic] Sox Script fake 5.1 from stereo

by Gérald Maruccia

Hello, I had some feedbacks on the script_upmix : first there was a mistake in method 3 ending in missing right channel or left right inversion. That is fixed. Some think method 2 is quite "loud" : nice for music, concert, musical video clip but less good for subtile dialogs and atmosphere soundtracks. It might be useful. Attached is newer version of the script_upmix (bash script quite linux-universal) Gérald

[DVD-o-matic] DCP-o-matic 1.64.0 released

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, DCP-o-matic version 1.64.0 is now available for download from: http://dcpomatic.com/download Selected highlights include: * The basics of per-channel audio gain, so that a particular source channel may be passed to different DCP channels with different gains. * A warning on choosing ‘Make DCP’ if the disk is likely to have insufficient free space for the DCP. * A primitive ‘check for updates’ feature which may be triggered from the ‘Tools’ menu or configured to be automatic at startup. It defaults to not checking at startup. * Updates to de_DE translation from Markus Raab. * Updates to sv_SE translation from Adam Klotblixt. * Updates to fr_FR translation from Theirry Journet. * Allow choice of what to install (master/server) on Windows. * Add subtitle X offset option. * Fix bad A/V sync in some (and maybe in lots of) circumstances. * Fix failure to open some .mov files on Windows. * Fix incorrect subtitles when speeding up or slowing down video for the DCP. * Fix incorrect audio position when using video files without audio tracks. * Fix bad DCPs when resuming encodes of 3D content. * Fix missing subtitles when they are in content with a non-zero position. * Fix to formatting of Interop <ScreenAspectRatio> tags. * Fix asset flags on Interop DCPs. * Fix incorrect colouring of subtitles in some cases. * Various fixes for efficiency on fast machines. * Fix mis-timed subtitles in some cases. * Fix error-reporting loop after long runs (and suspends) on Windows. * Fix over-fussiness in names of 1-file-per-frame sources. * Fix the inability to specify the frame rate of 1-file-per-frame sources. * Try to stop Windows machines going to sleep during encodes. * Make sure that forced languages override the environment for all messages, and not just some. * Don't give .xml suffixes to VOLINDEX and ASSETMAP in Inter-op DCPs. * Prevent some cases of half-finished DCP directories being created. * Fix error on cancelling and re-starting a DCP transcode on Windows. * Use Mbit/s instead of the incorrect MBps in the user interface. Thanks to Adam Colt, Luke, Thierry Journet, Denzil Kriekenbeek, Brad Miller, Markus Raab, Adam Klotblixt and all other DCP-o-matic users for their suggestions, bug reports and contributions.

[DVD-o-matic] benchmarks/machines

by Carsten Kurz

On a german projectionists forum someone posted first results for a dual xeon 2687W machine - total 16 cores 32 threads at 3.1GHz (very expensive, each CPU costs around 1.500€), running under WIN64 The results are a bit disappointing, Sintel runs through in around 32min - which is so far the fastest machine - but still a lot less than to be expected from such an expensive machine. The user confirmed that total CPU load during the encoding is only between 30% and 55%, no matter how many threads he configured. That computes into something like 11fps. The fastest so far I think was a 6-core i7-3930K at around 5.5fps. From extrapolating earlier results, 16 cores should result in something like 20-22fps, so, more or less half of that machines theoretical performance is not utilized by DVD-o.matic. I assume that, roughly put, dvd-o-matic is split into something like preprocessor (input, FFMPEG, Filters, etc.), J2k encoding, postprocessor (audio, wrapping, XML, filewrites, etc). And that probably only the j2k encoding can actually use multithreading, one thread per frame? Or is there a fixed limit on the number of encoding threads used, even if set higher? So it may be that the 'pre- and postprocessor' running singlethreaded may be the bottleneck on 'multi-multicore' machines, and performance can only be increased moderately with higher clock rates. Said machine has three fast SSDs for system, swap and workspace, and 64GBytes of RAM. I think Asus Z9 P -D8 mainboard. From this, to me it looks as if a single Intel CPU six to eight core HT machine at the highest available clock rate is the most economical sweetspot currently for DVD-o-matic. More CPUs/cores are wasted as price increases. A six core CPU sells around 500€. To give a more practical number, a typical 2hr full feature, using this 'sweetspot' machine will be converted to DCP in around 4-5 hours at 10-12fps average (all referenced to SINTEL encoding speeds - as we know, J2k encoding speed is highly content dependent). Of course, the mentioned user did not build this machine only for DVD-o-matic, he uses other video editing and rendering software on it as well so it will still payout for him. Meanwhile if have checked other DCP software performance figures and, as most of them are using OpenJPEG, their results are more or less the same. Some of them allowing only image series input with only preconformed image and audio data and thus a more simple preprocessor may use more than 6-8 cores more efficiently than DVD-o-matic. But then the preconforming from common video/media formats will need additional time ahead of the encoding as well. - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] Working projectors/servers survey

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, It has been suggested that it would be useful to have a list of confirmed-working combinations of DCP-o-matic version and server/projector models. If you have witnessed the glorious sight of a DCP-o-matic-created DCP working correctly on a DCI system, if would be great to hear from you with details of: The projector/media server model numbers. The version of DCP-o-matic. Any other interesting information that you can think of. I'll make up a list to put on the website. Thanks! Carl

[DVD-o-matic] Inverse Telecine

by Carsten Kurz

In a film-tech discussion, offering an inverse telecine option to DVD-o-matic was suggested for interlaced material at 29,97fps. As far as I know, recent versions of FFMPEG offer inverse telecine. Maybe you can do some tests, Carl? Personally I try to avoid to convert DVDs and usually stick to BluRays. However, I understand that sometimes BluRay with native 24fps is not available for certain titles. If it's just a different processing flag for FFMPEG, it shouldn't be much work. Of course, not all 29,97 interlaced material can be inverse telecined, so it should be a manual option. - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] Ubuntu installation bug-report

by Adam Klotblixt

I just set up a new theatre work-station and downloaded the latest DCP-o-matic 1.34 for a cleanly and newly installed Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit. Installation went well, but the program was not possible to start from GUI-menus, no messages or program starting. No hanging processes visible in top. Trying the command-line I got an error "libxml-something-ssl missing", which when installed solved the issue, the program starts and runs as expected from GUI-menus. So I see 2 problems: - libxml-something-ssl is missing from the installer - Starting the program from a menu fails mysterisously without any messages /Adam Klotblixt

[DVD-o-matic] VLC

by Carsten Kurz

VLC 2.10 has recently been released into the wild and the DCP, or better, J2C MXF support is back in it. Jean-Baptiste told me a while ago they were working towards inverse xyz and improved playback performance after the initial experimental support in 2.01-2.03. If anyone want's to try it out... http://www.videolan.org/ You can not open a CPL yet, only the video MXF, the extended file open dialog allows you to open and play the audio file in sync (provided there are no separate offsets in the raw files). This should work for most single-reel DCPs made with DVD-o-matic. Please comment on your performance. - Carsten

Re: [DVD-o-matic] dvd o matic error

by Gérald Maruccia

Hi Frank, I remember having some hard time with flash animation some months ago... That was solved by exporting images séquence from flash editing software and creating dcp with separate sources - images and sound tracks - through OpenDCP. At that time I was not aware of dcp-o-matic ! Best regards, Gérald.

[DVD-o-matic] dvd o matic error

by Frank Allison

Hi Carl - Love the DVD (DCP) o matic - I am making animation on adobe flash - flash doesn't like 24 fps so I am working 25 fps - flash can export my .mov at 25 fps - dvd o matic recognizes the 25 fps. mov and wants to make a 25fps package, but I get this error from dvd o matic after the job is complete (and the projector - NEC 900c) doesn't recognize the package for ingest: Cannot handle pixel format 30 during make_black(). It is not known what caused this error. The best idea is to report the problem to the DVD-o-matic mailing list (dvdomatic(a)carlh.net) Earlier attempts where flash made a .mov with a converted frame rate of 18.something worked fine, but the sound was either too slow or too fast depending on what frame rate I select on the dvd o matic settings. It converts the the 18 fps to 24 with roughly a 125% increase in speed - I just donated to dvd o matic a few days ago - and am very excited to have such an amazing tool at my fingertips - THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! I'll keep fooling about with frame rates and will let you know if I have any luck - Frank Cianciolo aka Frank Allison Clinton Theater XXX XXX XXXX - home www.clintontheatre.com

[DVD-o-matic] Multi-reel DCPs w/DVD-o-matic?

by Karim 'Kasi Mir' Senoucci

Hello everyone, I have created four 24- to 32-minute long DCP packages for a friend and hobby filmmaker who is going to screen them at a local movie festival. Now, I've heard back from their technical department that the DCPs I made using DVD-o-matic are single-reel and that "might cause problems", whatever that means. As far as I understand it, there is a convention to limit reels to somewhere around 22 minutes (e.g. typical old "analog" reel size) to minimize problems in transfer and handling and to keep the sizes of the files in the DCPs reasonable. But I wouldn't have thought that a 32-minute single-reel DCP might be problematic. Can anyone enlighten me on the subject? I'm no projectionist or TMS technician (I'm helping my friend because I have maginally more hobby experience creating DCPs than him), so there's a huge question mark hanging above my head. :-) Furthermore, is there any possibility to create multi-reel DCP packages via DCP-o-matic, or to convert the single-reel packages into multi-reel using open-source tools? Thanks for any help in this matter Kasi Mir

[DVD-o-matic] Gamma issue

by Carsten Kurz

Hmm, I reported this GAMMA issue before with a BluRay conversion around the beginning of June. Now I did a parallel conversion of a DV-compressed AVI file to a DVD-Video and a DCP, both on a Mac. While the DVD retains more or less the same contrast and colours as the AVI file, the DCP again came out a lot brighter with greyish blacks (played back on our DCI projector). The BluRay conversion I reported back in june was done with the windows version from a 1:1 rip/MKV container and it had the same issues. I needed to create a special format on the projector reducing brightness and saturation considerably to make it watchable. Hmm, I now see that DCP-o-matic has an explicit dialog for input/output gamma settings and color conversion matrix. Maybe I will try to do some tests to find out wether these issues can be solved by this. Really wondering why no one else is having this issue, as it is not just a minor variance but a heavy one. - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] Error: Cannot handle pixel format 102 during make_black

by Jakob M.

Hello there. I got an Error when using DVD o matic that looks like so: Transcode job failed (Cannot handle pixel format 102 during make_black()) The suggestion was to mail it, so here it goes. The source film is in Prores4444 1920x1080 The audio is external in 6 * PCM 24bit WAV files No subs yet (Mac version of DVD o matic because of the Prores source) I specified the start frame to 3 and end frame to 36875 for a 5 minutes test. But the encode seems to have run from 0 to 42571 where it stopped. I wanted to ommit the syncblipp at fram 1 but I can hear it in the file generated in the DCP_XX-XX.... folder Any suggestions are appriciated, did I mention that I like DVD o matic a lot =) Attaching the log file.

[DVD-o-matic] external Audio / pad with silence

by Andreas Eli

Hello! Yesterday I made 3 versions of a DCP with a little video, and because its mono, I wanted to try how it would sound like when the audio is C, LR and LCR. So I exported a mono uncompressed wav file from Adobe Premiere. I tried to listen to the file with VLC Player and looked at the codec (PCM L16 SE) and thought everything was fine. But in the cinema, the sound was only LR, no matter what, and was pitched down like crazy. Didn?t sound good at all :) What did i do wrong? Is there a problem that the video file has audio too, and i just choosed external audio, is the video file not allowed to have audio? And my secound question, I?m not sure what "pad with silence to X channels" does and what I do with it. It?s not written in the manual. Can I get a short explanation? Thanks and greetings from Vienna! Andi

[DVD-o-matic] DVD-o-matic version 0.126 released (also benchmarks)

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, DVD-o-matic version 0.126 is now available from here: http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic/download.php This fixes a variety of subtle and not-so-subtle bugs with recent versions. If you are having any problems, especially related to audio or strange DCP playback, I suggest you update. Also, I have started adding some benchmarks of DVD-o-matic's speed on various computers: http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic/benchmarks/ If anyone would like to contribute information (by running a couple of DCP encodes on their machine), please feel free. I hope this might help people who are planning to buy new PCs and who want to know how DVD-o-matic might perform. Best regards Carl Hetherington

[DVD-o-matic] subset encoding

by Carsten Kurz

one of my favourites ;-) I noticed that while 'encoding the subset' on partial encodings, the space for the resulting file is reduced as intended, but not the encoding time. Seems as if a partial encode will take as much time as a full encode. Could this be improved? I understand that the encoder needs to run through the whole file at some point, but it seems it will also take the time to encode all frames and just 'discard' the unnecessary ones? Is this needed to keep video and audio in sync? (I'm now using the Mac version 0.115, but this is the same under windows) Also, the DCI naming options include the option to use OV or VF. Is there any way to actually create a VF only or a multipackage, e.g. one OV version, one subtitle version, one localized version, each using the same video file? - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] DCP-o-matic test versions

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, DVD-o-matic's next incarnation, "DCP-o-matic" is vaguely on the way. I've started uploading test versions to a new site: http://dcpomatic.com/index2.php If anyone would like to test it out, please feel free. Any feedback is welcome. Since it has a different name you can install it alongside DVD-o-matic and it shouldn't interfere with your DVD-o-matic installation.

[DVD-o-matic] External mono

by Magnus Eriksson

Hi there, new problems (and problem solved) The source file this time was messy. A scanned 16mm documentary from the past. Sound was mono, but in the source file it was panned hard left in Dolby AC3 (2-channel). Right was silent. I pulled the AC3-track, converted it to mono (wav) and put it as external audio into DVD-o-matic on center channel. The other channels were left unchecked. DCP seemed OK, ingested fine on Dolby DSS200/220 (4.6.0 (13)) no problems when selecting it for playback but when hitting play everything crapped out. "No connection with Cat745", "Transport not available" and so on. Wasn´t there something about the allowed number of tracks in a DCP package? Hm. New try. This time I made an extra soundtrack with digital silence from the mono track. Checked every channel in external audio. Sound on center, silence on the other five. The DCP played just fine. Would it be possible for DVD-o-matic to automatically create silent tracks where needed when using external audio? */Magnus Eriksson*

Actually it's a six core, HT CPU, but sure it screams. As far as I can see on my machine and as others quoted, HT helps with dvd-o-matic. Can you share some numbers on encoding speed? I was thinking about AMDs as well because you get more cores for less money, but it seems they can not be used as efficiently as with Intels. Also, the machine may well be used for various other types of video decoding/encoding, editing, AVCHD, h.264 - and from Sandybridge on, the Intels have some extremely fast video acceleration features to aid in these tasks. - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] How long does it take for you to convert a video?

by J-sun Bailey

I'm new to using DVD-O-MATIC, it's a great product, I'm running it on an older system: Windows 7 32bit Intel P8600 2.4 GHz CPU 4 GB RAM It's taking between 2-3 hours to convert a 15-30 minute movie/short, Is this average, I'm looking at upgrading to a quad core i7 processor with 32GB of RAM running Windows 7 64bit. I'm guessing this should speed up my conversion time quite a bit, but curious what others are seeing before I invest the money in this. Thanks in Advance.

[DVD-o-matic] BluRay Conversion too bright

by Carsten Kurz

Today I had to play a commercial BluRay, converted to DCP with MakeMKV and DVD-o-matic (0.89). It turned out much too bright on our Sony SRX-R515. This is a fairly new installation and the calibration is certainly perfect, I never see any issues on commercial DCPs and trailers. Initially I thought this was just a Gamma issue, but I found out that on this machine the Gamma for DCI content is already maxed out at 2.6, I can only set it lower. It was a straight conversion, no intermediate conversion, no filters, I chose REC709 in DVD-o-matic, and on the Sony projector our standard flat DCI preset. It wasn't subtle - about 30% of the movie showed decent contrast, most other brighter scenes were very milky, and in darker scenes shadows were torn into noisy dark green and blue. Detail was very good actually, I chose a no-rescale conversion (flat no stretch). This projector actually has a brightness, contrast and color saturation slider. Usually I never touch these things, because on a properly calibrated machine everything should be okay after the calibration. The DCI flat preset had these sliders in their default positions, which were 100 for contrast, 50 for brightness, 50 for saturation. I could actually fix the problem by reducing brightness to 30 and reducing colour saturation to 45. I played the BluRay in parallel to the HDMI input configured to REC709, switched back and forth and it matched quite well. I did not have more time for perfection, there was still a slight color shift between the two, but it was okay. I guess I will have to send my BluRay calibration disc through the same conversion to find out what is going on there. Any ideas? - Carsten

Hi all, DVD-o-matic version 0.95 is now available from http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic/download.php This release fixes various bugs. No big new features to speak of. The Mac version is coming along nicely: just a few fixes to the installer and we shall be ready to go! A late candidate has appeared for DVD-o-matic's name change: I am pondering (drum roll please) "DCP magic" Any opinions?

[DVD-o-matic] conversion speeds?

by Carsten Kurz

Did anyone have the same experience: I was checking the trim feature yesterday with specially made test footage - an MP4 file with frame accurate numbers counting from 1 to 300, white numbers on black background. On my sandybridge notebook, it converted at around 4fps, no special processing (1998*1080 in, 1998*1080 out). With real word footage (but also a large number of black frames at the beginning), I only get around 1fps conversion speed, sometimes even below that. Is the J2k compression speed depending on content complexity or target datarate? I could see in the log that the MXF frame write intervals reflected these different conversion speeds perfectly. Both files on local disc. Will need to do some more testing. I have a large project with a lot of partial/trimmed conversions ahead. Carl - when using encode servers, I guess the main dvd-o-matic server will send uncompressed still images to the remote J2k encode servers? That's why a Gigabit network is beneficial? - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] [0.89] crash with negative audio gain values

by Karim 'Kasi Mir' Senoucci

Hello again, I just encountered another problem with DVDom; I had a source file where the audio is a little too loud. Thus I entered a negative value in "Audio Gain" on the Audio Tab. Promply, DVDom (both the full gui and the batch encoder) crash as soon as the conversion is started. I could reproduce this behaviour with four different Quicktime sources with the value "-10", so I guess this happens every time I enter "-10", at least with quicktime source files. Did I do something wrong? Should I do something different to tone done the audio during conversion? As before, any help is appreciated. Greetings from Germany Kasi Mir

[DVD-o-matic] Question/problem re: video trimming (0.89)

by Karim 'Kasi Mir' Senoucci

Hello all, I recently tried to cut a bit from the beginning an end of an mp4 source file in DVD-o-matic, which did not seem to work correctly. For my first try, I entered the start and end frame numbers (as seen below the video windows of DVD-o-matic) of the part I wanted to encode and "encode all frames and play the subset" as method. This resulted in the whole file being converted, just as if I didn't enter anything. For my second try, I entered the number of frames I wanted to cut from the beginning and the end of the video and selected "encode only the subset". Now, the *audio* was cut at the right point, but the video played from the beginning again. Additionally, I saved the project and loaded it at a later time. Now, the "Start" and "End" fields were set to "100" each, which bears no resemblance to what I had input into the fields before saving (750 and 251, respectively). How is this trimming supposed to work? What do I have to enter into the fields to get 750 frames cut from the beginning and 251 frames cut from the end? Any help is appeciated. Greetings from Germany Kasi Mir

[DVD-o-matic] Coloured subtitles

by Lilian Lefranc

Hi all, I tried for the first time to convert a bluray stream to a dcp. This file contains coloured subtitles for deaf people. dvd-o-matic does not seem to convert the colours correctly. White and green are ok, but the others are changed. I took Carsten's sample to author a simple bluray structure. Here is the m2ts stream: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1y6i3a27o81x7pc/count300bd24.m2ts Not a priority issue as external subtitle is preferred, but I noticed it testing the subtitle management. Lilian

[DVD-o-matic] audio channel mapping and mixing

by Adam Klotblixt

One way to get simple and configurable audio is to have a matrix-mixer. Example: mix a 2-channel old movie to the correct center mono. Adhere to Academy rules, which is 3-channel mix. output channels input channels left right center left 0.5 right 0.5 center surr left surr right back left back lright LFE silence silence mix Example: an ordinary 2-channel stereo to 5.1 without any mixing. output channels input channels left right center surr left surr right LFE left 1 right 1 center surr left surr right back left back lright LFE mix mix silence silence silence silence It might be good to grey out or not draw the input channels that are not available. With this it can also be possible to do matrix-decoding from 2-channel sources. /Adam Klotblixt

[DVD-o-matic] Encode servers

by Adam Klotblixt

There are 2 different settings for number of threads used on encoding servers, both in the encoding server (-t option) and in the main encoder gui along with the IP-address. I'd hope it would be possible to set it only in one place, preferably on the server side. The main encoder could ask how many threads are set up, and act accordingly. The main encoder would only need to know the IP-addresses of the servers. This would also make it possible to change number of threads used on a server on-the-fly without restarting the main encoder. Is there a limitation on number of servers? If so, how many and why? Couldn't find this in the manual. /Adam Klotblixt

[DVD-o-matic] letterboxed input formats

by Manuel AC

Like adding some formats that includes the cropping. Actually, I always use "Flat without stretch", I consider the rest Advanced use. Maybe some direct acces to ffmpeg parameters? instead on growing the formats list to infinity. Already got a couple of Scope inside a 1920x1080, and I expect to get many more like that. And for SD material (old short films) I would expect 16:9 inside 4:3 and even scope inside 4:3 (oh yes, got that in a DV file last week) Thanks! Manuel AC

[DVD-o-matic] Frame rate conversion

by Adam Klotblixt

Here are my thoughts on what frame-rate conversion should do in DVD-o-matic * 23.976fps or 24fps -> 25fps Change video timing. Audio resampling with selectable quality. * 25fps -> 24fps Change video timing. Audio resampling with selectable quality. * 50i fps -> Deinterlace with selectable filters: linear blend, motion compensate etc. Then consider 24fps or 25fps destination as above. Optionally, bob or YADIF might be good to produce a proper 48p or 50p film. * 59.94i or 60i fps -> Deinterlace with selectable filters, for example Bob, linear blend Suggest 30fps as destination since a proper inverse telecine requires manual work and should be done in another program. A selectable inverse telecine can save someones day, but be warned... Again, bob or YADIF might be good to produce a proper 60p film. Audio resampling when required, with selectable quality. Never add or drop frames unless inverse telecining. Audio stretching without changing pitch in my ears is a pain to get right, so should be done in a controlled fashion, not automatically. But it won't hurt (much) to have an option, right? A lot (most?) of Swedish DVD-releases from film does a simple 24fps -> 25fps speed-up of video with simple, high-quality resampling of the audio. Not many people notice the pitch-error. /Adam Klotblixt

[DVD-o-matic] 23,97 fps?

by Carsten Kurz

Carl - why don't you enable 'real' 23,97 edit rates? I think most servers allow it now, and it would avoid audio resampling on 23,97fps features. I see 23,97fps quite often nowadays, I think it is okay to use it as DCP edit rates? - Carsten

Hi all, DVD-o-matic version 0.89 is now available from http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic/download.php This adds a simple batch converter for setting multiple conversion jobs off at the same time. There are also a few other tweaks. With 3 weeks to go, the Indiegogo campaign to fund a Mac OS X version of DVD-o-matic is half-way there! Thanks to all who have pledged money, and/or spread the word about the campaign. If you can think of anyone else who might be interested in hearing about it, or putting up some cash, then do let them know. Best regards Carl Hetherington

[DVD-o-matic] Mac port

by Carsten Kurz

Okay, it's still enough time to go for the Indiegogo project, but maybe we can find more ways to endorse it towards mac users. Any ideas which forums/sites would be interested? - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] A couple questions...

by Leslie Hartmier

Good day! One of the theatres I'm involved with is in need of a preview for a special booking we have upcoming, and the only one we had access to in a reasonable format was in 60 FPS, but since this preview is to be used with a DSS100/DSP100 which does not like anything but 24 FPS, I was attempting to use DVD-o-matic 0.87 x64 Windows version (I have also tried earlier versions before now to the same effect) to change it to 24 FPS, and the outcome was that the audio sounded at least an octave lower. As it is important for our managers to be able to do this with a minimum of fuss and perhaps as streamlined a process as possible, I was wondering if there was something I was doing wrong, or if there is a process to follow for such things. I have found this to be an issue for me before now, but I was hoping that perhaps it was simply that I have done something in error. Also, I was noticing that when I'm converting some video into DCP, DVD-o-matic will change the audio (for 23.976 FPS or 24 FPS, 44.1kHz is adjusted to 48kHz (doesn't seem to sound odd), for 29.97 FPS to 24 FPS, 44.1 kHz is adjusted to 59940Hz (becomes a lower octave, which I cannot use, 30 FPS to 24 FPS takes the audio from 44.1kHz to 60kHz (can't use), and finally 59.94 FPS to 24 FPS changes the audio from 44.1kHz to 59940Hz (also cannot use - deeper again) ( I would have thought that the 60 FPS would be even higher than 30 FPS).) Is there a reason that even if the video is at the frame rate I want, the sound still gets adjusted, and if I'm changing the frame rate, the audio resample goes up, but the sound becomes deeper? I would have thought the sound would becoming more shrill, if anything. Again, I love this program, and the efforts being put into it is amazing, and I'm willing to assume I'm messing something up. I just would like it if I didn't need to use a different program to 'pre-adjust' frame rates to get the audio to sound like the original. Thank you for all the work you do, Leslie Hartmier

There is a point in it - but on the other hand, insisting on DCP, and at the same time forcing a 60p-24p conversion is, well, stupid, as the latter guarantees either judder or extreme slowdown. Of course, a 30->24 slowdown may look 'pleasing' at first, because it smoothes out motion, but it simply should not be accepted for a professional presentation. Whatever, if there will be no compromise on other playback options, then you should probably go the mentioned way with an external samplerate and timestretching adjustment. - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] Lost in transcoding

by Maskinrummet Zita

Yesterday I tried to make my first DCP with subtitles that were not burnt into the source file. It didn´t work out that well, the swedish translation was lost in the process. Yes, the checkbox "with subtitles" was filled. Am I doing something wrong or is DVD-o-matic unable to extract subtitles from this source file? The source file (.mkv) origins from the sub-DCI distribution system used for documentarys and art house movies in Sweden until now. Source file tested on a Tvix Slim S1 running 2.1.0, subtitles visible on screen. DCP file tested on Dolby DSS220/IMB Cat745/Barco DP2K-10s, no subtitles on screen. DSS220 running 4.5.4 (2). DVD-o-matic ver. 0.80 (as I remember) Magnus Eriksson Zita, Stockholm Attached: Mediainfo from the source file.

Re: [DVD-o-matic] A couple questions...

by Carsten Kurz

If the conversion 'looks' okay at 24fps, maybe you should try to convert the audio separately. You might run into sync issues, but it still is worth a try. You could use Audacity's resampling features to make separate audiotracks, then use the separate audio feature of DVD-o-matic. The resampling/sampling rate conversion parameters of course need to be adjusted to match DVD-o-matics framerate handling. But maybe Carl will find a flaw in the conversion you tried. When do you need this finished and what is your source footage format? - Carsten Am 28.04.2013 um 12:31 schrieb Leslie Hartmier: > It is 60 FPS. I can convert it, and it looks good when on screen at 24 FPS after I do the extra stuff to it, and heck, it even looks great if I convert it using DVD-o-matic, the sound just...drops in tone. > > As for an external player, we have had trouble with using Blu-ray players, etc, in that, for some reason, some of these private bookings' content (indie filmmakers, etc) will not work on the players we bought, and I am referring to Sony Blu-ray players, no knock-offs or anything. This having caused us trouble (and lost bookings), we simply were told by the company's owner, it must be made into DCP. Using off-the-shelf Blu-rays/DVDs, I recall we've never had a failure on that, but of course, we don't have any of those, just indie filmmakers with their burned disks (some pressed, but same problem, oddly).

[DVD-o-matic] Delayed batched conversion with DVD-o-matic?

by Karim 'Kasi Mir' Senoucci

Hello everyone, first of all, thanks for the great program, I tried before to create DCP packages with other free toolchains before, but this one makes it really easy. I have a small question, I'm using the Windows version on a standalone PC (no additional encoding servers), by the way. I'd like to be able to create conversion jobs which aren't started right away, but rather be put into a batch for later use, as I often convert half a dozen videos at once. At the moment, I configure the first job, then Select "Make DCP", then configure the next job, select "Make DCP" again, an so on. The trouble is: after selecting "Make DCP" for the first time, the encoding (naturally) starts right away, which means that many GUI controls of DVD-o-matic don't respond anymore. What I'd like to do is create all jobs, and then after I'm finished with them, start the encoding. So far, I haven't found any way to do this. Did I miss something (which is perfectly possible), or did I actually just make a feature suggestion? ;-) Greetings from Germany Kasi Mir

If openjpeg did it, DVD-o-matic could use it very easily. Sadly I don't really have the time to get into it myself just now. As it stands, more CPU wins! Best Carl

Re: [DVD-o-matic] VBR-coding

Hi all, I don't think integrating the Kakadu encoder would be a big problem, but it would probably only be worth it if significant numbers of DVD-o-matic users have a licence ...

Hi Paul Sorry for the slight delay, my email threw a wobbler and I only just received this. > Firstly, have you made any progress on displaying the frame number under the video image? Not yet, I'm afraid. I'd forgotten to add it to the tracker, but it's there now! I will get onto it. > And secondly, a new request, is it possible to have the option for the temporary folders to be automatically deleted at the end of creating a DCP (perhaps an option > on the preferences menu)?

[DVD-o-matic] Trim Frames Feature

by Carsten Kurz

Hi Carl, nice work. Used a few other DCP creating tools before, was a bit sceptical at first about your 'all-in-one-converter'. However, great functionality in a single package, and, most important for me, all processing/conversion steps for video and audio explained and documented. Now, I'm using the most recent version 0.83/64bit Windows. Seems the Trim frames feature doesn't work. Whatever numbers I dial in for Start/End, it will always create the full length DCP from my 1:31:42 source. All dialogs show these 137564 frame count (also 'Properties'). Currently I have Start 1 and End 100, but it's creeping through the full 90mins of footage. The trim parameters do not show up in the log file. Should they? - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] VBR-coding

by Adam Klotblixt

First post to this mailing-list. yay! DVD-o-matic is a very nice program, that I hope will grow to be even greater. I will try to help by raising some discussions. Something I thought might improve on the DCP-size is to enable quality-based JPEG2000-encoding. OpenJPEG has an option to do this (-q according to documentation), with a value in decibels. Does the DCP-standard accept VBR-files? My web-search found no definitive answer. /Adam Klotblixt
