DCP-o-matic

Current versions of DCP-o-matic offer to set current DCP properties from a loaded one. That makes it easy to create a VF with the same properties as the OV. Load OV DCP and right-click on it!

FAST remote encoder boxes saturate a gigabit ethernet connection quickly. If you use a decent number of slower boxes, this is not an issue.

Get a CPU with the highest number of cores, and HyperThreading. Memory should be in the 8-16GByte range. Everything else is irrelevant.

Somebody didn't pay attention downloading the file. There are two ways to download files from a dropbox account that is not your own - as a browser download (download/save as), or, copy file to your own dropbox (if they have an account that has enough capacity). Then their Dropbox client will downlo...

Hi Miriana - pretty sure the problem is not on your side. I assume you use the DropBox Client software to upload the DCP? Now, using DCP-o-matic player, you can verify the DCP that lies in your DropBox folder. If it verifies okay, then there might be something wrong with the DropBox (very unlikely),...

NTFS is fine, and that way it can be any realistic size. Just that for anything larger than a short film, copy time grows painfully long.


As a rule of thumb, a 'typical' DCP will consume roughly 1,5GByte per minute runtime.

DCP-o-matic 'Combiner' will merge multiple CPLs into one package.

You need to decide first wether you want to create a subtitled version (open captions) or closed captions. Closed captions are to be shown on personal devices like glasses, smartphones, or seat displays. The DCP-VF will probably play on most servers, but you should still specify the proper language ...

You need to create a 4channel DCP, some would suggest, a 5.1 DCP, with only channel 3 for center having signal.

Sounds a bit unnecessary, but it's the proper way to do it.
