Hi Carl,
From what I gather (and I am just a beginner) - I may have created a DCP into a 1.78:1
when it should have been 2.39:1 . Would this cause a strange angular edge to the bottom
right hand corner?
If a film is shot in 1.178:1 - do you need to have that as the setting for ‘scale to:’?
and should I ever adjust the container on DCPomatic?
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
That's strange. Are you saying that you are making a 1.78:1 DCP and it is
being projected in 2.39:1?
Kind regards,
Carl
