I think the "-o-matic" sounds really retro, but I like it since the film-industry is so old. It is also very different from the other product-names in this category. I suggest DCP-o-matic, which is not too different from the current name. /Adam Klotblixt

[DVD-o-matic] faster encoding with GPU?

by Adam Klotblixt

Since creating DCPs takes so much time, I was really happy to see that OpenJPEG has plans to extend their encoder to use GPUs. This might be the cheapest way to speed up the encoding, but I still have no real numbers on what to expect in performance. The graphs I saw were difficult to compare to modern CPUs/GPUs. Will it be hard to implement the usage of both the CPU and the GPU for encoding? Am I silly for hoping this might be good value, or is it better/cheaper to get more CPUs? /Adam Klotblixt

Re: [DVD-o-matic] Renaming DVD-o-matic

by Mike Blakesley / Roxy Theatre / Valley Auto

How about "DCP Crunch"? It definitely "crunches" any kind of video into a DCP, and it's a cool "hip" sounding name. Plus using that word, you could come up with a really cool logo/splash screen. "...-o-matic" sounds kind of retro, like out of the 1960s. Mike Blakesley

[DVD-o-matic] Renaming DVD-o-matic

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, I think it would, on the whole, be a good idea to rename DVD-o-matic to remove the associations with DVDs :) Any suggestions from the floor? I am struggling to come up with something suitably poetic. Regards Carl

[DVD-o-matic] DVD-o-matic 0.76 released

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, DVD-o-matic version 0.76 is now available from http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic/download.php The main changes in this version are: * There is a primitive visualisation of source audio levels (see "Show Audio" in the Audio tab) * The target rate of the DCP can be specified (rather than DVD-o-matic guessing).

[DVD-o-matic] Feature: Any aspect ratio into flat or scope

by Wolfgang Woehl

Carl, a nice-to-have feature would be being able to stick any source aspect ratio into a flat or scope container -- via pillar- or letterboxing, if required. For example: NASA has amazing footage of the July 19 2012 solar flare event on http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a004000/a004026/, e.g. the 1024x1024 version (http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a004000/a004026/AIA304July2012rain_1Kx…), acquired by SDO's AIA. Apparently in 0.75-1 there is no way to maintain the source aspect ratio of that video -- 1:1 in this case. Or am I missing it? Wolfgang

[DVD-o-matic] DVD-o-matic version 0.73 released

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, DVD-o-matic version 0.73 is now available from http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic/download.php The main change in this version is that DCPs are built directly from the source files, without going via a separate stage of making JPEG2000 and WAV files. This speeds things up a bit (especially for large films) and halves the disc space that is required to build a DCP. Other selected highlights: * When viewing films that are being put into a larger frame (e.g. 1.33:1 in flat) the viewer displays the black padding that exists. * BMP files are accepted for still image DCPs, and use of TIFF works again on Windows. * The default values for the DCI name dialog can be set up in Preferences. Thanks to Lilian Lefranc, Mike Blakesley, Thierry Journet, the City Screen York Projection Department and anyone else who I have forgotten. Best regards Carl Hetherington

[DVD-o-matic] (no subject)

by Daniel Radzinsky

I am having trouble at creating the actual DCP after the program checked for hashes. When the program goes to the stage where it says "Make DCP for..." it loads for a bit and then it says "Error (error in writing video MFX)". I am just wondering, how I may fix this. I already tried to do it a second time but still it just said the same thing. Also, all the other stage were done normally and well.

[DVD-o-matic] DVD-o-matic 0.59beta1 released

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, DVD-o-matic version 0.59beta1 is now available from http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic/download.php This a "beta" release, which essentially means that I haven't tested it very much... It does, however, have a bit of new stuff: a better (I think) arranged user interface, and the ability to replace a source's soundtrack with a different one. If this sounds like fun, please feel free to download and test and provide any feedback to the list or direct to cth(a)carlh.net. Best regards Carl Hetherington
