VF DCP and validation

Post by pguarri »

Hi, I created a VF DCP containing subtitles for an already existing OV DCP.
The problem is when I use DCP inspect to validate the VF DCP it produces some errors like:
Referenced asset file not listed in Assetmap Dictionary

and

Found inconsistent image decompositionlevels values across the composition
Sound inconsistent soundchannel format value across the composition

The OV version validates with no errors.

Does anyone know why that is happening?

Thanks

P.S. I tried with both IOP and SMPTE DCPs

Hmm, honestly I don't know how far dcp_inspect goes in validating VFs. It dcp_inspect wanted to verify all assets being referenced from the OV, one would need to supply the OV assets together with the VF during the inspection. If dcp_inspect only 'sees' the VF package, then those errors don't surprise me. I always wanted to have a go at dcp_inspect, but unfortunately...

Standalone version packages might not include some or all of the assets a VF CPL references. If run on the VF package alone dcp_inspect will report errors regarding these missing assets. If you have the OV and the VF package sitting next to each other you can use the --as-asset-store option to merge all mapped assets and check if the VF references will be satisfied:

dcp_inspect --as-asset-store DCP_TEST
