Yes, sorry I've not got around to looking into it.
Now I did a parallel conversion of a DV-compressed AVI
file to a
DVD-Video and a DCP, both on a Mac. While the DVD retains more or less
the same contrast and colours as the AVI file, the DCP again came out a
lot brighter with greyish blacks (played back on our DCI projector). The
BluRay conversion I reported back in june was done with the windows
version from a 1:1 rip/MKV container and it had the same issues. I
needed to create a special format on the projector reducing brightness
and saturation considerably to make it watchable.
Hmm, I now see that DCP-o-matic has an explicit dialog for input/output
gamma settings and color conversion matrix. Maybe I will try to do some
tests to find out wether these issues can be solved by this. Really
wondering why no one else is having this issue, as it is not just a
minor variance but a heavy one.
It is strange. I think the first thing to try would be to use DCP-o-matic
with its "sRGB non-linearised" colour conversion, perhaps with an input
gamma of 2.2.
Best regards
Carl
