Hi Tom.

A workaround would be:

1. Make a DCP from the source file repeated once only
2. Make 2nd DCP from the 1st DCP repeated multiple times

When making a DCP from an existing DCP, DCP-o-matic does not re-encode the frames.

This isn't quite what you asked for - if the content is repeated 10 times, the 2nd DCP will be 10 times larger than the 1st DCP - but at least the encoding will be approx 10 times faster.

Hope that's some help.

Jim

Does anyone know if it's possible to build a DCP with DCP-o-matic that repeats a source file a number of times, but only encodes it once? So essentially the CPL would point to the same asset multiple times.

I'm adding the source video multiple times in the content tab, and then selecting "split by video content" for reels. This still re-encodes each instance of the source video.
