Marcus – nice summary. I opened DCP-O-Matic and followed along and made a couple notes (marked with*). (very) short HowTo (without the option of having a running dcpomatic at hand ;) 1. Start DCP-O-Matic 2. Open 'Preferences', then the 'Defaults' tab There shpould be a option for default display time for still images. I think the default is 10 seconds. If you want to have more or less display time per image change this in the prefs. *3. Close DCP-O-matic *4. Restart DCPomatic (needs to be done to read the prefs correctly again) *I just tried this without quit/restart and restarting doesn’t seem to be required. 5. Create New Project *In the Mac version, Open New, which presents the “New Film” window. Keep Project Name Short but still explanatory. After Around 12 to 15 Chars the Name will be cut of and spaces will be filtered from the restulitng DCP Base Name! *Import your materials by clicking “Add File(s)” in the “Content” Tab *Select “DCP” Tab 6. Select the desired Container Type (Flat or Scope) As your Images seem to be "Wide" pictures scope might be a good option.

Let dcp-o-matic create the dcp *On the Mac version, pull down “Jobs” to “Make DCP" *This will create a directory (a folder) that has several files and directories. The actual DCP is the directory beginning with the name that you created and which holds the: ASSETMAP cpl_ j2c_ pcm_ pkl VOLINDEX This directory and its contents are what you need to put onto a correctly formatted USB stick – EXT2 or EXT3, inode size 128 bytes These linux format settings are not standard settings for any OS. Easiest short term solution is to use a stick that has a different trailer on it and copy your file to that. 9. If you still have problems please read the very good html document from Carl on the webpage. If you still have problems after reading my very very short list above and also the docs i will would help you with questions might still have...
