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 hope everyone is doing well. I uploaded a pre-release of DCP-o-matic
2.18.0 to
https://dcpomatic.com/test-download
If anybody would like to do some final testing, it would be much
appreciated. I am also happy to add translation updates, if you have
any pending.
Kind regards and best wishes,
Carl

Hello!
Is it by design the bandwidth for a new film always reverts to 150 Mbps, even if I
change it to say 200 ? Otherwise, it would improve workflow for multiple DCPs if that value persisted across films.
Thanks,
Aaron
Hi all,
Does anyone have access to EasyDCP 4.1, who would be willing to run some
tests? I'm hearing about some QC failures that come from certain
companies using EasyDCP as their QC tool.
All the best,

Hi all.
Would anyone who has access to the Barco certificates database have time
to pull some certificates for me?
Or does anyone know who to email at Barco to request to be given access
to their database? Their website is rather opaque.
These are chain cinemas with no projection staff so unfortunately its
not as easy as asking the projectionist to export certs from the
projectors, and the shows are on Friday...
The servers I'm trying to create KDMs for are:
Barco ICMP 9730528161
Barco ICMP 9730528152
Barco ICMP 9730528163
Barco ICMP 9730528206
Barco ICMP 9730528232
Barco ICMP 9730528171
Barco ICMP-X 9730618407
Barco ICMP-X 9730719301
Barco ICMP-X 9730771595
Barco ICMP-X 9730719445
Barco ICMP-X 9730719443
Barco ICMP-X 9730719394
Any help much appreciated...

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
Hi all,
I have been thinking for a while about switching off these mailing lists
(users and announce) and just leaving the archives on the web site.
For some time there has been very little traffic, and the messages we do
get are usually from people who don't sign up to the list first, making
it fiddly to reply to them properly
It just seems like most people don't really get the "mailing list"
concept any more and are more comfortable on the forum.
Does anybody have any thoughts/strong feelings about that?
All the best,
Carl
Hey Carl!
First I want to thank you from my heart, it means a lot for me to show my first movie on the big screen.
I rendered the DCP successfully but now I want to copy it on the HDD and have a Problem, can you help me?
After agreeing with „I am sure“ and „Yes“ I clicked on „Copy DCP“ but Nothing happens, can you please help me? On Tuesday I have to be finish with the DCP :(
All the best and thank you so much for Response!

I am not good at using your software, I downloaded a trailer according to the online tutorial to make MP4 DCP format, everything was correct when making, and the warm prompt reminded me that everything was ok. When I created the exported DCP, I went to the player to check, and it dropped frames when playing. I didn't know where the problem was and how to solve it.
Hi Carl,
Thanks for the almost instantaneous response. You are correct. I am
trying to make a DCP. Attached is the log for the project.

Hi Carl,
I just wanted to congratulate you on your DCP project - I love it and I'm
sure many others do as well. I rarely have the need to create to DCP files
but there is a special documentary project I've just completed that is set
to screen in a cinema here in Brisbane, Australia and I intend to use DCP
O'Matic. I've made a donation.
My question is about audio and I've included two screenshots attached here
as reference. In one of the shots 'WITH' I have applied the Mid Side decoder
and I see it turns off the 6 boxes that control the speakers and keeps only
left and right. Is this the correct way to apply what you describe as the MS
Processor to achieve some centre speaker effect in the cinema? And should I
change the channels from 6-5.1 to 2 channels - or 3 or 4?
In the 2nd screenshot 'WITHOUT' I did not turn on the Mid Side decoder but
instead added -12db to the centre speaker boxes shown in the screenshot.
Will this achieve the same or similar result as adding the MS processor (or
mid side decoder as it called on the software.) Would -12db be about the
equivalent to the automatic mid side decoder setting or should I make it
-6db or even -3db? I can see the graphs are very different.
By using the six content speaker boxes I could make an imitation 5.1 mix by
experimenting with these settings?
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
sorry if already mentioned.
Seems like audio processors have gone away in DoM 2.16.8
Only left is « half channel / demi canal » and it no longer works as it
used to ( nothing in rear and LF ).
I did not dig - maybe it's my installation.
I often use the « phase inversion » one, kind of pro-logic… maybe I was
the only one, lol.
Best regards,
Gérald.
Hello,
Could you please help me why I get this error while trying to add OV on dcp
matic player. I have made VF package with dcp matic. This is the first time
I face this error.
Hi all,
I hope everyone is doing well. DCP-o-matic 2.16.0 is hopefully (really
this time) nearly ready for release; there's just one showstopper
(failure of DCPs on some Sonys), which I think I have a fix for, and
which needs some testing.
If anybody has time to help with updating translations, now would be a
great time!
https://dcpomatic.com/i18n
shows the current state of things. Let me know if there's anything I
can do to make your translation experience easier.
All the best,
Carl
Hi all,
I recently updated the mailing list software (mailman) from version 2 to
3. This is quite a big change, but hopefully nothing too serious has
broken. If you see any strange behaviour, do let me know.
The mailing list web interface is now here:

Good evening from Berlin!
I am pleased to say that the release of DCP-o-matic 2.16.0 is soon
approaching.
2.16.0 brings some useful new features and improvements over the 2.14.x
series:
- Linux-formatted DCP drives can be written from macOS or Windows using
the Disk Writer.
- Player performance is improved.
- DCPs can be combined using the Combiner.
- The DCP verifier built into the player is much improved.
- A number of new SMPTE DCP features are supported (CPL metadata,
markers etc.)
- Full support for Apple Silicon (M1) processors.
- Subtitle export.
...and lots of other good stuff:
https://dcpomatic.com/release-notes.php?v=2.15.175
We are now in the final testing phase with version 2.15.175 (also
known as beta 8). If no show-stopping bugs are found, I will release
2.16.0 within the next week or two.
If you have any time to help with the release, that would be great!
The important
work now is:
* TESTING - making DCPs, playing them back, writing DCP drives
using the disk writer - whatever you can, on whatever machines
(Windows, macOS, Linux) you have available. Report any bugs,
errors or confusions you find in whichever way is most
convenient for you:
- by email to carl(a)dcpomatic.com
- on the bug tracker https://dcpomatic.com/mantis
- on the forum https://dcpomatic.com/forum
- twitter @dcpomatic
* TRANSLATION --- here https://dcpomatic.com/i18n you can see the
current state of the translations of DCP-o-matic from English to a variety of
other languages. Are you a fluent speaker of a language that is coloured
yellow or red on that list? If so, it would be great if you could help by
translating some or all of DCP-o-matic's untranslated strings. If you need help
with that, or don't know where to start, do get in touch via carl(a)dcpomatic.com !
As always you can download the current test version from
https://dcpomatic.com/test-download
A huge thanks to everyone for your continued support.
All the best,
Carl
We had a very strange problem with a short DCP this week at a multiplex
cinema with Sony projectors.
The DCP was made with DOM 2.14.54. It was 2K Flat, SMPTE, unencrypted,
25fps. It was 2 mins long.
The DCP was due to play in 3 different screens. In one screen, it played
fine. In the other 2 screens, the same DCP ingested fine but then failed
at the "validation" stage.
In one of these screens, after repeated attempts, the DCP did finally
validate, but then wouldn't play (as in when you pressed the "play"
button, nothing happened).
The same cinema has in the past week successfully played other SMPTE
DCPs made with exact same version of DOM and same specs (2K Flat, SMPTE,
25fps, unencrypted).
All three screens have Sony projectors. As usual with these kinds of
things, I have of course tried to find out the model number of
projectors, firmware version etc but am unable to extract this
information from the cinema staff, who are rushed off their feet.
A couple of questions:
1. I had understood that this issue was resolved a couple of years ago.
https://dcpomatic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1214
Has anyone else seen validation fails on Sony projectors since DOM 2.14.x?
2. What even is "SMPTE validation" anyway?
My understanding of "validation" is that it's a content integrity check
(hash check etc). However, I thought that happened at time of ingest and
ingest would fail if hash check fails. This problematic DCP is ingesting
OK, but then fails later at "validation".
"Validation", I am told, takes a long time (1 hour or so for a feature)
and can only be run when the projector is not playing anything. That
suggests it is reading a lot of data from disk. Again, that sounds like
a hash-check.
However, the cinema said their projectors only perform this extra
validation for SMPTE DCPs, not Interop.
So, if validation means what I think it does, why are Interop DCPs not
being hash-checked? Or if "validation" means something else entirely,
what on earth is it?
I hope someone else may be able to shed some light on these mysterious
events!

Hi all,
Does anyone have issues generating KDMs for this server?
Any kind of KDM generated with DOM or easyDCP KDM Generator is rejected in
a cinema.
I had to tweak cinemaslides removing "DeviceListDescription" line on mt1
KDM to get it working and make the KDM identical than Waimea does.
Thanks for your help.

Hi all.
This list has been quiet for a while...
Quick question: DCP-o-matic applies gamma correction when making a DCP
from a ProRes. When using "Export" to convert a DCP back to ProRes, does
DOM apply gamma correction in opposite direction? If so, to what? 2.4 or
2.2?
Jim
Hi Carsten,
Good day. I exported a DCP wonderfully made by dcp-o-matic to ProRes, and while it was perfect in the cinema testing, the ProRes export has extremely low audio. Audio in the cinema was perfect. Any possible issues are something I'm overlooking during export?
Thanks

Hi all,
I've had a bug report that DoM-encrypted DCPs don't play on EasyDCP
player. Has anybody tried that? Or does anybody have access to EasyDCP
player to try it?
Unfortunately the demo won't play back encrypted content as far as I can
see.
I hope everyone is doing OK!
Best,
Carl
Hi all.
This question is probably mostly for Carl, but thought I'd post it here
in case answer is of use to anyone else.
We use a setup with one "master" DCP-o-matic instance and other machines
on network running the Encode Server.
We mostly use 2.14.x but occasionally need to use the 2.15.x test
version for some strnage cases which require extra features only
available in DCP-o-matic test version.
Is the 2.15.x test version of DOM compatible with 2.14.x Encode Servers?
i.e. if we want to encode a DCP using the test version, do we need to
also switch to 2.15.x Encode Servers during that encode, or will stable
branch 2.14.x Encode Servers play nicely with a master running 2.15.x?
I'm less concerned about whether 2.15.x will use the power of the 2.14.x
Encode Servers, than whether there's any chance of an incompatibility
between 2.14.x and 2.15.x master and encoders causing glitches in the
encode.
Hope you can help.
Many thanks,
Jim
