OK, interesting! I'm about to embark on making all
the DCPs for 3 UK festivals. Have always used SMPTE in the past and found it rock solid,
so nervous about switching, but it sounds like Interop is a better choice.
Can anyone vouch for DCP-o-matic's stability and correctness when creating Interop
DCPs on OS X (Yosemite)?
I haven't seen real issues for INTEROP vs. SMPTE, so, if you have a proven workflow, I
don't really see a reason to switch. It's not that SMPTE is broken. It's more
of a formal issue. After all, the cinema industry is struggling for years to move to
SMPTE, so, I am not surprised we see some issues in the DOM community as well.
It's just that I wouldn't follow the recommendation to always create SMPTE because
'it's the new format and INTEROP is outdated'.
Maybe also some misunderstanding came up because of the former 'MPEG2-Interop'
DCPs. Some people somehow seem to have shortened this to 'INTEROP'. However,
MPEG2-Interop REALLY is deprecated. But NOT J2K-Interop.
Give 2.9 a try. It has lot's of interesting features, I haven't experienced the
Mac versions to be exceptionally unstable. There may always be a glitch or so with a new
test version, but in general, these are only up for a few days before Carl fixes them.
