In a commercial theater, having as much content as possible projected
in DCP is just the best option. Mainly, due to easiness of operation,
because for the staff it becomes just another film.
About quality, I didn't expect to see any difference, but the 8 bit
color in the single link vs. 12 bit color in the dual link is actually
visible. My reference is from the same file projected with a laptop
and as a dcp. With a dvd, the difference will also came from the
quality of the scaler in the dvd player output versus ffmpeg.
For automation, it's actually possible to control dvd players, or
computers. In an art movie theater, projecting lots of dvd, and before
dvdomatic was really useful, I controlled the dvd players with an
arduino directly connected by usb to doremi, it recognizes it as a
serial device, and with a simple IR led. If someone is interested I
will be happy to share details. It's theoretically possible to control
many things through raw tcp messages too.
Of course, dcps are much easier to control.
I don't like the subtitles being burnt in by dvdomatic, but it gets
the job done.

Well you're both very right.
Some reasons I'd rather play a DCP, even made from DVD :
- I have to project that dvd in subtitled original version and I have no
option in my dvd player to resize those subtitles,
- external sources are not controlled nor scheduled by the TMS and this
projection includes two features for one show,
- the quality won't get worst neither better (until now I've never heard
complains about the many DCPs I've projected,
- I'm quite geek and so curious about the result I'll get ;-)
Anyway I highly appreciate any comments and pieces of advice, thanx :-)

We project DVD and Blu_Ray stright from the disks to our 2k projecter and
get great results. Making DCP seems a little OOT.

Just as a note: DVD is not a 1920x1080 resolution, so the quality may not
be the same as the original master, and you may have some 'concerns'
regarding the image. If the distributor had a Blu-ray, you may find an
improved quality to your DCP.
I know, nothing to do with subtitles, but sometimes, we need reminding of
the little things.
Sorry (happy) to butt in!

Just activate the subtitles in the corresponding tab, you can choose
which subtitle stream will be burnt in, if there is more than one
available.

Hello,
what if the way - if there's one - to include subtitles from DVD into
DCP ?
Distributor sent me a DVD as no DCP exists for the feature film.
The DVD is good quality, done from remastered original material.
Any thoughts ?
Best regards,
Gérald
