I have no experience with 3D slides, but I can suggest you try the latest in beta versions (2.11.2) in case this is already handled. http://dcpomatic.com/test-download C J Cinema Test Tools <http://cinematesttools.com>

Hi Andrew, I have fixed this in my local copy and 2.11.9 should be faster. I'll upload it over the next few hours.

Please can someone recommend settings for generating Slide show DCPs of still images to minimize the DCP file size? As all frames are the same for each image is there a setting that makes best use of adjacent similar frames. The images I am using are all 4:3 ratio so there is a lot of black also in the images I would assume should compress well. Does reducing the bit rate have any effect other than controlling quality, can it be set quite low? I currently have it at the default of 100. I am generating 2K 3D slide shows but assume the principles are the same as for 2D slide shows. Thank you for any help.
