Re: [DCP-o-matic] DCP re-packing

Recently, an indie documentary has been distributed in germany with a mixture of SMPTE and IOP VFs within the same package. I guess it is also still possible to create a SMPTE VF referring to an IOP OV or vice versa with DOM. Carl told me he would work on a solution/check. The VF feature is still experimental, so you have to make sure you get some things right yourself. I also thought that at some point it would be a good idea to move the SMPTE/IOP selection into preferences instead of under the DCP tab. To some people, it may appear that SMPTE/IOP is 'just another' parameter of a DCP. But of course it is a much more fundamental choice. I know some (like you ;-) ) would probably already opt to remove the IOP option completely, but so far, DCP-o-matic still can't create encrypted SMPTE DCPs for (some?) Sony systems, so I think that is too early. For compatibility reasons, the IOP should stay with us for quite a while, I guess. - Carsten
