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

Hi,

Thanks so much for the free software - I will make sure we donate towards it.

I do have a question regarding the making of DCPs - we are struggling with creating them for a cinema. The bottom right hand side of the DCP when projected on to
the screen curves up a little.

Could this be to do with not converting the DCP into the correct ratio or the fact the cinema has a curved screen?

For example a 1.78 ratio DCP has been made into 2.39 scope as I thought it selected them automatically.

I hope you can help me understand.

Best,
James
