Ah, alright... I thought I could store that DKDM as a separate file
together with the DCP, then re-open BOTH in KDM creator and proceed
from there.
I recently had an issue where I did not create a KDM directly after
creating the encrypted DCP. So, after doing other things in DOM, I
later went into the KDM creation dialog in DOM, looked up the CPL I
wanted, then created the KDM. But it didn't work, it seems it was
using the wrong key. So I thought creating and storing a DKDM would
be the safer way to create KDMs later from the DCP and a single DKDM
file. As I create encrypted DCP rarely (actually most of the time for
testing purposes only, like for this Barco issue...), I never really
used KDM creator so far, just went in and checked the translations ;-)
Yes, that's all a bit clumsy. If you make a KDM later you have to open
the original project as the key for the MXFs is stored in the
metadata.xml.
Your approach is better in a lot of ways (in particular, the CPL
details and keys are kept in one place), but it depends on the
DCP-o-matic certificate/private key not changing. If you recreate
those keys your DKDMs will no longer work and your DCP will be lost (as
you won't have the key to decrypt it).
