To my knowledge dom doesn't (yet) support DCPs with more than one CPL.
Dom actually rewrap new MXFs for everything, that it's an interesting
behavior in many cases but a bit overkill for your case. I'm also
looking into creating some kind of basic CPL editor, and yes it's
mainly for festivals. Mixed standards are an issue, but dom already
take care of that ;)
That Dolby thing smells bad coding. Instead of properly managing the
references just copy everything!! One of the uses I have for multiple
CPLs is saving espace for things like a preshow with multiple
variants, or sometimes having 2 or even 3 subtitled versions of the
same film just in case.
I'll be sure to avoid Dolby servers for festivals, it's hard enough to
manage the limited ingest space.
Carl, how hard would be to integrate a CPL editor? I would be more
than happy to propose an interface and work out the different
situations that may be presented as source and goal. Rewraping
abilities are already there, also the libraries for the CPL creation
and the rest of the packaging. I wanted an online editor but if I can
avoid al the parsing job, better.

Hi,
A feature that would be really, really useful is to be able "cut" out
a single CPL and make a full DCP from it. I.e. to be able to import a
full DCP with one or more CPL:s or a full DCP + a supplemental package
and then select only the CPL of interest and rewrap it to a
self-containing DCP consisting only of this Composition. In other
words, to generate new PKL, VOLINDEX and ASSETMAP files referencing
only the compositions you want, but leave all asset files and CPL:s
unchanged.
This would be useful for festivals because you would like to eliminate
the possibility of chosing the wrong CPL to project.
Dolby servers do exactly this. They generate a new, self contained DCP
for every CPL that is ingested. You can take a look in the
"generatedPackages" folder if you log in over ftp. To be able to do
this directly in DCP-o-matic would be a real killer feature for me.
Best,
Mattias

Hi Manuel,
It always re-wraps, i.e. extracts the J2K data and uses it to create a new
MXF. So it should re-wrap interop to SMPTE if you ask it. I haven't
tested that personally though.
Cehers,
Carl

http://main.carlh.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dcpomatic With rewarping you mean repackaging, without
touching the MXF files?
Or actual rewarping if the standard has changed?
Thanks!

Hi all,
It's not a version thing. If you import a full DCP to DoM and leave
"refer to existing" unchecked it will re-wrap the video without
transcoding. You can add some new sound, un-map the DCP's sound and
the result will be the DCP's video (re-wrapped, not transcoded) and the
new sound. Similarly you can add subs if you like.
The problem is with importing MXFs individually. This will always
result in transcoding, and will not work for sound MXFs. That is what
needs to be fixed.
If you just import the whole DCP (with "Add folder...") everything
should be ok.
Kind regards.
Carl
