Re: 4K UHD Blu-ray to DCP for playback on 2K commercial projector?

I think theoretically yes using the UHD version would be better but Im not sure how well DOM handles converting REC. 2020 to P3 (I think thats whats going on). I think youre more likely to introduce errors and would just stick the regular HD files for now until someone more knowledgeable can chime in.

Re: Best Practices for aspect ratio handling for converting a Blu Ray 16x9 movie into a DCP

I went ahead and created the DCP with the UHD file. It seems fine. It plays in DCP-o-Matic Plater. Just for fun I tried the Verify feature and it returned these two errors which I assume are the video and sound files. "The hash of the picture asset j2c_b7505d63-db33-4895-8f5d-d50b8d3ef2a2.mxf d...

Re: Best Practices for aspect ratio handling for converting a Blu Ray 16x9 movie into a DCP

I went ahead and converted it to WAV just to be safe on my side. Do you have any thoughts on the downsampling idea I posted above? I pro...

Just for a test, I imported the 2160p cop...

Re: Best Practices for aspect ratio handling for converting a Blu Ray 16x9 movie into a DCP

Thanks for your reply Carsten. Heres what I did: 1. Imported the MKV into DOM 2. Set the Container to DCI Scope 3. Set the Scale to No Stretch 4. Cropped 138 from Top and Bottom. This looks right to me. DOM says "cropped to 1920x804 (2.39:1). Visually everything looks good to me in the preview ...
