Carl, how hard would be to integrate a CPL editor? I
would be more
than happy to propose an interface and work out the different
situations that may be presented as source and goal. Rewraping
abilities are already there, also the libraries for the CPL creation
and the rest of the packaging. I wanted an online editor but if I can
avoid al the parsing job, better.
I think it would be ok from a technical point of view, the trick would be
integrating its user interface in such a way that it doesn't bloat
DoM too much (or at all) and doesn't make the basic case (file->new, add
content, make dcp) any harder.
The "refer to existing" buttons are really a hack in lieu of "proper"
CPL
management, I think ... but I don't know what that managements should look
like.
Any discussion / suggestions are welcome.
Kind regards,
Carl

Hi,
A feature that would be really, really useful is to be able "cut" out
a single CPL and make a full DCP from it. I.e. to be able to import a
full DCP with one or more CPL:s or a full DCP + a supplemental package
and then select only the CPL of interest and rewrap it to a
self-containing DCP consisting only of this Composition. In other
words, to generate new PKL, VOLINDEX and ASSETMAP files referencing
only the compositions you want, but leave all asset files and CPL:s
unchanged.
This would be useful for festivals because you would like to eliminate
the possibility of chosing the wrong CPL to project.
Dolby servers do exactly this. They generate a new, self contained DCP
for every CPL that is ingested. You can take a look in the
"generatedPackages" folder if you log in over ftp. To be able to do
this directly in DCP-o-matic would be a real killer feature for me.
Best,
Mattias

Hi Manuel,
It always re-wraps, i.e. extracts the J2K data and uses it to create a new
MXF. So it should re-wrap interop to SMPTE if you ask it. I haven't
tested that personally though.
Cehers,
Carl

http://main.carlh.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dcpomatic With rewarping you mean repackaging, without
touching the MXF files?
Or actual rewarping if the standard has changed?
Thanks!
