Hi.
It would indeed be a good feature to have dvd-o-matic auto generate silent
waves and add it in case of no (or to few) audio channels in the input file.
SMPTE dcp's require a sound essence, so this feature is absolutely
something that would help make the dcp workflow faster and secure more
dcp's are created with within specs :-)
Best regards, Jonathan

Hi there, new problems (and problem solved)
The source file this time was messy. A scanned 16mm documentary from the
past. Sound was mono, but in the source file it was panned hard left in
Dolby AC3 (2-channel). Right was silent.
I pulled the AC3-track, converted it to mono (wav) and put it as external
audio into DVD-o-matic on center channel. The other channels were left
unchecked. DCP seemed OK, ingested fine on Dolby DSS200/220 (4.6.0 (13)) no
problems when selecting it for playback but when hitting play everything
crapped out. "No connection with Cat745", "Transport not available"
and so
on.
Wasn´t there something about the allowed number of tracks in a DCP
package? Hm.
New try. This time I made an extra soundtrack with digital silence from
the mono track. Checked every channel in external audio. Sound on center,
silence on the other five. The DCP played just fine.
Would it be possible for DVD-o-matic to automatically create silent tracks
where needed when using external audio?
