[DCP-o-matic] Font size in DCP-o-matic Player

by joaquin d

Hi all, I compared the font size in a movie in DCPomatic Player to the same section in another player (Neo-DCP) and noticed that they were not the same. I did this test because in DCPomatic the subtitles of a Scope aspect ratio movie were spilling outside of the image area. So I compared it in the other player and the font size and position were much different and didn't fall outside of the Scope image in the other player. I was wondering if the specs for subtitles playback come from the xml in the VF folder Dcpomatic Player? Here are the specs for the subs on the DCP mentioned above: " Font Color="FFFFFFFF" Weight="normal" Size="44" Effect="border" EffectColor="FF000000" AspectAdjust="1.00"> " Thanks so much! Joaquin

[DCP-o-matic] choosing from multiple VF's in Player

by joaquin d

Hi all, I'm noticing that if there are multiple VF's on a DCP that there isn't a way to choose which VF you want to watch. For instance as in the case I'm looking at now, there is a Dutch language OV with a French subtitle VF and an English subtitle VF but DCP-o-matic will only show the French sub VF...but when I look at it on the server both VF's appear. Another player that I sometimes use, Neo-DCP Player accomplishes this by referring to the asset map which lists the various VF versions and allows you to choose between them. Is this something that might be possible in DCP-o-matic Player? That would be great if so! Thanks so much! Joaquin

[DCP-o-matic] Educational use

by Dobson, Mark

Sir, We are interested in installing DCP-o-matic on our machines in the lab in our department. Ideally, we would install it on at least 15 of the machines here. Is there a sort of site license that we could obtain for that? I understand that it’s technically freeware for individual users, I just thought I’d check to see if there was an institutional rate for your program. Mark Dobson, M.F.A.

Re: [DCP-o-matic] question for conversion

by Carl Hetherington

The paragraph directly below the one I sent you last time says this: "Finally, as with video, you can choose Make DCP from the Jobs menu to create your DCP. This will be much quicker than creating a DCP from a video file, as DCP-o-matic only needs to encode a single frame which it can then repeat. " So: choose Make DCP and it will make your DCP.

[DCP-o-matic] Apologies: mailing list spam

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, Apologies for the spam that just made it onto the DCP-o-matic mailing list. This was due to a mistake on my part: my ISP has recently changed their email server and I made some exim configuration changes to fix some problems. These changes had the unintended consequence of bypassing mailman's checks. I have reported the mail to spamcop and fixed the exim configuration so it should not happen again. Sorry, Carl

[DCP-o-matic] DCP-o-matic release candidate

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, 2.11.77 is now available from here: https://dcpomatic.com/test-download and barring disasters this will be the release version 2.12.0. Any last-minute testing would be welcome. The OS X version has had a bit of "adjustment" in the last few days to get it past Gatekeeper so that in particular needs a work-out! Thank you, Carl

[DCP-o-matic] DCP rejected by QC

by Jim Dummett

Hi Carl and all. I've just had a DCP rejected at QC by Motion Picture Solutions. The film is being distributed by a major studio (though it's a one-day release, so not as big a deal as that sounds, it's really not big budget). Foolish of me to get involved - I knew they'd run the DCP through a QC process which was going to be incredibly tight, and I did fear a fail based on something nitpicky. And so it is. Damn me for just trying to help out! There's a wider issue about how it might advantage market leaders to ensure that DCPs created with "unprofessional" tools like DCP-o-matic are branded as "faulty". But that's a rant for another day! Anyway, below are the details I've been given so far. Of course, if any chance of a swift fix, that'd be great. But more importantly I hope this may be an opportunity to harden DCP-o-matic and get it one step closer to being viewed on the same level as the big boys. Here's the info: DCP made using DCP-o-matic 2.10.5 on Mac OS 10.12.6. 2K Flat, Interop, 24fps, 20 minute reels. Made from ProResHQ 1080p 25fps. The DCP is encrypted. Signing and encryption keys are the ones DCPoM made automatically. The reason given by MPS for QC fail is: /"The cpl has been incorrectly signed - UTF8 rather than ASN.1// // //The following flag occurred on ingest: Hashed OK, but with flags such as these in Wailua:// // //crt=mp+ROXiXhhwYBtsBVkeaURJZD5s=;String encoding of Issuer O is not ASN.1 PRINTABLESTRING: "UTF8STRING"// // //Now, whilst not a major issue – I wanted to flag it with you. It will play on most systems but there is a chance it may not on some players/servers.//"/ I've asked for the full Wailua output. Will post it here if I get it. Here is a link to the DCP-o-matic project folder + DCP (MXF files removed for size): https://fil.email/VUGNrpkk I've redacted the encryption key in metadata.xml and file paths in the DCPoM log files. The title of the film is not redacted but I would ask if everyone could please avoid mentioning it on the mailing list. I don't want to cause anyone embarrassment. Has anyone come up against this before? Many thanks, Jim

[DCP-o-matic] String freeze for 2.12.0

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, Barring exceptional circumstances, DCP-o-matic is now in "string freeze" for the 2.12.0 release. That means that no more translatable strings will be added or changed. If you have the means to help with DCP-o-matic's translations, now would be an excellent time to pitch in! Full details of the translation process are here: http://www.dcpomatic.com/i18n Do not hesitate to ask me or the list if you have any problems. Kind regards, Carl

[DCP-o-matic] multithreading while playing J2K...

by Carsten Kurz

There is a compute thread setting in DOM that is used for J2K encoding. In think one of the more recent code improvements was to do J2K DECODING while playing DCPs multithreaded as well. While I appreciate that I have 0 dropped frames in the player at 1/4 res, I notice that my 4core/HT MacBook only uses 4 threads while playing. And even these are only loaded 50%. I am nearly sure this machine could do at least 1/2 res decoding, without dropped frames, if not full res. Is there a way to improve this? How does the stand alone player decide how many threads to use? Or is OS X doing the thread distribution? Wouldn't it be useful if DOM (main app) would use 1/4res when playing DCPs in preview as well, and per default? The preview window is probably not much larger in most working environments anyway. - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] 'Maximum number of frames to store per thread'

by Carsten Kurz

Hi Carl, when would one want to change this setting? I have seen this coming up on the development status sidebar on the website a while ago, but thought it would only turn up in the prefs or metadata.xml to be changed manually, not within the prefs/GUI. Now I saw this in advanced prefs in 2.11.27 - Carsten

[DCP-o-matic] Dolby TrueHD issues

by Carsten Kurz

2.11.24 looks good with Dolby TrueHD streams, also 7.1. Although it starts recalculating the audio when I switch from 5.1 to 7.1 (12ch) DCP to see the BSL/BSR channels. Maybe it's better to include all available audio channels in the input file for analysis right from the start? Or maybe DOM does that already, but is false triggered towards a new analysis if the DCP audio arrangement is changed? No big deal for short pieces, but for full length features, it is annoying if another 20min analysis run is started, especially since R128 proves to be very useful now and I would advise everyone to do perform the full audio analysis. It also appears as if calculating audio is now a lot faster than before (2.11.22) - at least for the 7.1 THD full length feature, it now only takes around 13min, compared to around 45min for the 5.1 ac3 version yesterday. Yes, the 5.1 ac3 analysis also computes much faster now with .24 - a mere 6min! I notice that the more audio streams in the input file, the longer it takes - probably approx. the same time for each stream, or every single audio channel adds up. So it is certainly wise to only include the necessary streams in the MKV, or to extract unnecessary streams before with an MKV splitter. While I understand it's busy at DOM-HQ, may I hint again at: http://dcpomatic.com/mantis/view.php?id=835 because it is probably very easy to implement coloring the graph legend ;-) - Carsten
