Re: [DCP-o-matic] Hello from canada

Hi i would rate all the open source PC players i know as not usable for production screening at the moment. There were big steps done in the last years but it's still a lot to do. Even if you get an unencrypted DCP make sure that the license you have with the distributor allows you to convert it to ProRes/h264/h265 MP4/mob/mkv. Better ask them if they can supply you with a BluRay most distributors offer these for none DCP cinemas. The best, if not cheap, solution might be a commercial software Player like neoDCP oder easyDCP Player. https://www.neodcp.com/features-and-prices/ http://www.easydcp.com/easydcp-player.php neoDCP Player is a bit cheaper (min 700€ forthe software with public screening allowed) and if i remember correctly the hardware req are also not so demanding. My last time testing these players is 1-2 years old, so the following might be out of date. The easyDCP player needed two mid to high range nvidia cards one fore displaying and one for decoding while neoDCP did the decoding using the CPU only.
