I think I'd rather any QC tools rejected anything
that it is not up to
spec, even if all current equipment implementations are ok with it. At
least then you have only one set of goalposts. The tricky part comes when
QC tools are themselves opaque and don't give full details of why the are
rejecting things.
I agree that QC tools have to be strict in evaluating files. The question is, what does
the QC tools operator make of certain complaints? 'Warning'? 'Error'?
If 'opaque' QC rules decide which tools are 'allowed' to master content
for festivals, that would be a bad development.
Deluxe is a mastering facility. If they decide on the QC rules, they boost their own
business in ruling out alternative DCP creation solutions.
Add to this the fact that full specs for DCP formatting is only available in the form of
very costly SMPTE documents...
I do agree, though, that ISDCF-WTF is a must for SMPTE wrapping.
