Yes, I have finally come around to the wisdom of this observation ;) I
have made Interop the default on new installs of DoM. Maybe this will
help to reduce the instance of this kind of problem.
The problem we are facing here now is that QC
procedures in various
forms are complaining about issues/features that do not cause playback
failures in any equipment. Because equipment implementations are
forgiving, but the QC is not. This is bad if it leads to content being
rejected at festivals for reasons that do not cause problems on existing
equipment.
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.
Best,
Carl
