Hello !
Some feedback after installing 1.64
First surprise the deb package for ubuntu 13.10 is about 230 Mo -
I did not remember that with previous version or maybe I had never
paid attention to that before.
Today with dcp-o-matic I've tried for the first time to create a
DCP from image sequence and 6 mono wav (48khz signed 24 bits pcm)
tracks exported from Audacity - like the good'ol fashionned way
with still useful open-dcp ;-) The image folder contains 288 png
files in 1998x1080 pixels 72 dpi rvb, aiming a 12 seconds
transition in 24 fps.
When I import the image folder, previewing the video is almost
impossible : it is very slow and freezes the computer - which is a
core i7 with 16 Go Ram running ubuntu 13.10 64 bits I hoped that's
enough to avoid hardware slow down !
Other surprise is length of the audio tracks : I carefully checked
in audacity my tracks are 12 seconds long (with display time set
to hh:mm:ss:frame for 24 fps film). Once imported in dcp-o-matic
it shows 11 seconds and 23 frames long. Not a big deal on this
very short trial. Maybe improving the way figures (and zero) are
displayed and aligned in duration tab would improve readability -
I first thought it was 11,23 seconds long which is really not the
same !
Anyway I made the DCP... Transcoding was quite slow using 6
threads out of 8 and never get over 1,7 images per second.
Did I miss/mess something ? Hope my poor english grammar does not
hurt your eyes too much !
Best regards,
Gerald
