Thanks Stefan!

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...

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.

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.

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 -

Hi all,
DCP-o-matic version 1.10 is now available from here:
http://dcpomatic.com/download.php
The main improvement in this version is that it can write encrypted DCPs
and generate KDMs for them. All feedback is welcome.
Best regards
Carl
I'm prepping a trailer for DCP with your software, and got the following error:
Cannot handle pixel format 102 during make_black().
Any ideas about this?

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

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.
