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https://dcpomatic.com/rc-download There have been some bug fixes, but more importantly this version is built against a newer version of the macOS SDK than previous versions, and has a number of changes to comply with changes in Apple's notorization requirements.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

[DCP-o-matic] How to use dcpomatic.

by Boris Kulesh

Hello! We need use the dcpomatic on a virtual servers. We have a server with two processors, and when we start coding with dcpomatic on one virtual server it works fast. When we start encoding with dcpomatic on two virtual servers at the same time it works slow. Dcpomatic don't use a second proccesor. Help us, say how to setup dcpomatic for use on two virtual servers, please. With best regards, Boris.

Re: [DCP-o-matic] doubt

by Carsten Kurz

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. - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] doubt

by Jordi Miró

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.

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' - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] Doubts

by Jordi Miró

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. Jordi Miró. 678442976

[DCP-o-matic] DCP-o-matic Disk Writer alpha test

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, I'm hopefully not-too-far (TM) away from having a very alpha-quality version of a "disk writer" tool for DCP-o-matic. This is a thing which can format a drive as EXT2 and copy a DCP onto it from Linux/macOS/Windows. Since the potential for disaster is fairly high with this tool (i.e. unrecoverably destroyed hard disk partitions) I am hoping to find some brave and interested parties to test it out in a sort of "closed beta" arrangement, rather than making it available to everybody in the normal test version. If you are interested in helping out with testing, drop me a line! All that's really required is an understanding that the software might destroy any data that happens to be on any drive connected to the computer that you run it on. So if you have an old machine that you could tolerate re-installing, that would be ideal! It doesn't need any great CPU power. If you have access to a cinema to test your copied drives, even better! I hope everybody is keeping as well as can be expected given the current state of the world. Kind regards, Carl

[DCP-o-matic] Configre exporting folder for DCP-o-matic

by René Wagner

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 __________________________________________________ René Wagner, M.Sc.

[DCP-o-matic] Problem with DKDM

by Martin Busker

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 ___ Martin Busker Regisseur und Autor Prenzlauer Allee 203 10405 Berlin +49 179 2319461 mail(a)martin-busker.de www.martin-busker.de

[DCP-o-matic] Upres to 4K

by Jim Dummett

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

[DCP-o-matic] Help diagnosing faulty DCP?

by Jim Dummett

Hi all. Anyone out there have access to a Wailua or recent version of EasyDCP Player+, and be willing to run a DCP through it for validation? This DCP is a 3 minute short which failed playback at a London cinema recently. The fault was that picture and sound cut out (screen black, silence) for a couple of seconds and then playback resumed, but it skipped forwards by about 1 minute. This behaviour was replicated on two different servers at this cinema, although weirdly it played back faultlessly at another cinema. The disturbing thing is that I cannot find any fault with the DCP with the tools I have available. I would really like to find out what the fault is so I can add tools to our workflow to catch similar faults in future. NB This DCP came from an unknown external source and was made with OpenDCP. However, we rewrapped it with DCP-o-matic (without force J2K re-encode) and the problem persisted in that rewrapped DCP. If anyone is able to help, would be amazing. Many thanks, Jim

[DCP-o-matic] KDM snafu

by Jim Dummett

Hi all. A filmmaker has sent me a DKDM to decrypt their DCP. I sent them the certificate chain, and unfortunately they seem to have targeted the KDM at the root cert rather than the leaf cert, so I can't "unlock" the DCP in DCP-o-matic. This particular filmmaker is in a far far away land and has been hard to get hold of, so I am worried I may not be able to get a new KDM issued in time for the screening. Is there any way to switch around the certs in DCP-o-matic so the root cert is used to decrypt? I can only see one private key in config.xml, which I assume is for the leaf cert. However, I guess a private key must have been created for the root cert too, in order to sign the intermediate cert. Does this private key get saved anywhere? If anyone is able to help, would be hugely appreciated. Many thanks, Jim

[DCP-o-matic] DCP file size:

by Clive Osbourne

Hi Carl, hope all is well with you, I'm a user of your product DCP-o-matic for two years now and I have to say that it's a very good DCP creator and one of the best according to the reviews I've seen online. I use it to create movie trailers for our cinema here in Barbados. Though I usually receive links from our movie Distributors to download their DCP trailer content for our screens, if there are any unavailable content I will go to HDtrailers.net or Thedigitaltheater.com. and download the the content if available. These trailers which I download from the two sites in the above have to be prepped for DCP export which I use the DCP-o-matic DCP creator to finish the trailer. DCP file size: ( Distributors content file size vs DCP-o-matic file size.) My observation of file size that the trailer content downloaded via link from our Distributors have a greater file size than any trailer content that I create using the DCP-o-matic creator. I understand that the Distributor's content are mastered in Dolby 5.1 and mixed in a facility studio with 5.1 audio track stems and full 2k video content that is then exported to DCP with very expensive DCP creator software like Easy DCP and Wraptor DCP. but the trailer content download from Thedigitaltheater.com that are mastered in Dolby 5.1 are copies from the good content and then converted to MKV and MP4 files that are smaller in size because of the compression of audio and video bit rates. If I convert one of these compressed trailer files to DCP using The DCP-o-matic creator, then compare it to one of the Distributors files (the exact trailer) there is always a difference in the size of the output file. Mastering in Adobe Premiere Pro and Audition: I've experimented with creating 2048x858 2K & 1998x1080 2K QuickTime video files in Premiere with maximum bit rates and bit depths for optimum picture quality, and have extracting the 5.1 files from the compressed content with Audition then export to 5.1 wav files. Then I create and export a 5.1 2k sequence file that give me a 2.9gb or a 3.0gb file depending on the length of the trailer. DCP-o-matic export: After I have imported the sequence file that I have created in Premiere into DCP-o-matic and make all the necessary adjustments then I make the DCP. After the DCP is finished, I am seeing that the file existing in the content folder is half the size of the sequence file. Example! [ imported sequence file = 3.0gb] [exported DCP folder with ASSETMAP, cpl, j2c, pcm, pkl, VOLINDEX = 1.5gb.] There is also a drop in resolutions in the exhibition of the trailer content although all DCP contents are 2K. (1) Is the compression rate set by default to 2gb alone for all contents that are approximately 2 minutes 30 seconds? (2) Or, is there something that I can do to maintain a maximum quality content and keep my file size matching the imported file size? Thanks! Best regards, Clive.

[DCP-o-matic] 2.14.12 not working on OS X 10.13.6 High Sierra

by Max Wilhelm

Hello! I am emailing you because (after upgrading) to DCP-o-matic 2.14.12, I have found that the program no longer works. I was running v 2.12.12 for quite a long time, but decided to try and upgrade when it refused to convert a large mkv file. I thought maybe it was a bug that was later fixed. However, the latest stable version on your site refuses to open on my Mac laptop. It gives me an error log (pasted below). The latest test version doesn’t even give me an error log, OS X just flat out tells me it will not open. I am running Mac OS 10.13.6 Is this a known problem? Or perhaps I am missing something Thank you so much for any help you can provide. Your software is (usually) quite incredible. -Max Process: dcpomatic2 [48755] Path: /Applications/DCP-o-matic 2.app/Contents/MacOS/dcpomatic2 Identifier: com.dcpomatic Version: 2.14.12 Code Type: X86-64 (Native) Parent Process: ???

[DCP-o-matic] Search for encode servers on several subnets

by Mattias Mattsson

Hi! I am running DoM on a computer with two network cards, eth0 and eth1. eth0 is on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet and eth1 on 192.168.241.0/24. Encode servers started on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet are found automatically by DoM, but none of the servers on 192.168.241.0/24. I am sure there is connectivity on this subnet between the DoM encoding computer and the clients (ping and ftp works among other things). Is there a way to instruct DoM which network interfaces and/or subnets to listen on? It would be useful to have it listen on several subnets/interfaces as well. Thanks! Best, -- -mattias

[DCP-o-matic] low coding speed Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5118 CPU

by Ипатов Иван

Hello dear Sirs! For creating DCP packages we build a workstation. Specifications are point is below: 2 * Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5118 CPU @ 2.30GHz 2 * KINGSTON SEDC500 SSD 1920 GB 2 * 32Gb 2400MHz RDIMM OS: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC But we have a once problem. The speed of encoding usually is 14-15 fps. Encode servers is not use. Jpeg 2000 bandwidth for newly-encoded date is 180Mbit/s. We made is about 100 DCP projects. Sources files were always different. The speed is always about the same 14-15 fps. We noticed that the CPU load during encoding averages 60% Can you tell me what to look for why such a low coding speed? ____________________________________________ Yours faithfully, Movie Systems Engineer Ivan Ipatov tel .: +7 (914) -975-23-76 Russia Federation, 690091 Vladivostok, Primorye Svetlanskaya 31 St The network of cinemas "Illuzion" The cinema "Ocean IMAX".

[DCP-o-matic] Changes in projector format between 2.12.x and 2.14.x?

by Jim Dummett

Hi Carl. Are there any changes in the format of the metadata.xml DCP-o-matic project file between 2.12.x and 2.14.x? I have a bunch of DCP-o-matic project files made with 2.12.10 but not encoded yet, but would like to upgrade to 2.14.8. If I attempt to open these old projects in DOM 2.14.8 in order to "Make DCP", should I expect any incompatibility/problems? Or may there be problems if I encode these old projects via command line? dcpomatic2_cli --config /path/to/config /path/to/dom/project Cheers! Jim
