To clear up some of your questions let me introduce to to a bit of DCP format definitions. The "long" version you can find here ... (read my short first!) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Cinema_Package [2] http://isdcf.com/dcnc/ Short: The DCP Format is not a "one file" based format but a "one directory" format. In your case "the" DCP would be "Test_FTR-1-30-F-178_20_2K_20160608......OV Inside this directory you should find multiple files. Usually one audio file with "pcm" in it's name and a video file (the biggest). Then there are some xml files for metadata and checksums. But there can be more files! Or even less! As the DCP Format also supports "sound" only or "subtilte" only DCPs. They are by definition marked with a _VF at the end of the directory. Based on the partial directory name in your picture i can tell you that dcpomatic encoded a stereo sound track. Name Test_ Type FTR- Verion 1- Frames/s 30- Format F-178 Sound 20_ Resolution 2K_ Enc-Date 20160608 Hope i could clear up some of your questions. Be sure to supply the whole Test_FTR_..... to you projectionist. By the way, there is a special TST Type that can be used for testing and therefore you don't need to label/name the video Test but give it a propper name On 08.06.2016 17:44, Jax via DCPomatic wrote: -- Markus Kalb 06151-16-27 27 0 0177-240 98 95 mk(a)filmkreis.tu-darmstadt.de Studentischer Filmkreis an der TU Darmstadt e.V.
