DCP-o-matic

Dealing with this problem, I noticed there is a small bug/interpretation issue in DCP-o-matic with some (few) non-square pixel sources. The only real world source for this kind of media should be DVDs and DV/MiniDV or D1 video. These may come in two different display aspect ratios: 4:3 and 16:9. How...

I was just going to create a second audio version after a successful encoding within the existing project. This is a full length feature - the checking is taking ages. I also notice that a copy of the existing video file turns up in the video folder. Why, at this stage, is this check necessary? I re...

Hmm, strange. Even though it worked with master and encode server running on the same (master) machine, resetting (deleting) all prefs on the master machine now seems to have solved the issue. The master machine had 2.15.0 installed prior to todays 2.14.11 installation (I think in order to test the ...

Okay - trashed prefs on encoding server machine. Started main app, set new prefs as necessary. Restarted encoding server app. No change. Quit encoding server on remote machine, started up encoding server on the master encoding machine (while the encode is still running there). After a few seconds, t...

Hi, I am about to do a long feature conversion and maybe a few different versions. So I installed 2.14.11 on both my workstations, hoping to use the second one as an encode server (very effective during prior encodings). However, the encoding server does not encode any frames, instead, after a few s...

No, DKDMs are universal. In nearly all of the cases this and similar things happened, they sent to wrong cert or the DCP-o-matic user applied the wrong cert.

Hmm, that screen seems to have scaling and padding already applied. I usually prefer to have a look at the raw image. But as far as DCP-o-matic recognized the DVD format/container as 1.33 with 1.07 display aspect ratio, it should be okay to analyze. Whatever, looks as if this is a 1.66 format within...

4:3 movies on DVDs can be 'real' 4:3, or pillarboxed in 16:9. Without seeing a screenshot (with 'outline content' activated), we can't tell what it is.

You tick 'use as open subtitles' for both. Then you need to adjust vertical (Y) shift for one file so that they do not overlap - check for two-liners (list view). That should be it. Basically, you do what Carl already suggested here in his first reply: https://dcpomatic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&a...

After adding VF and assigning OV, you should only tick the 'Use this DCP's video/audio as OV' for video and audio, not the original subtitles. They will have to be reused, together with the new subtitles, and be merged into a single subtitle asset. The 'overlapping text' message occurs if you refer ...
