Question on Transcoding/Encoding
Posted: Sat Jun 01, 2019 9:35 am
Hi,
New to DOM... really great tool! I'm making a DCP now.. and I see in the message area that it is 'Transcoding'. It lists the 'Encoding' percentage and the frame it's on. I'm trying to figure out what it's doing right now. Will is always show a message like that?
I believe my assets were already DCI compliant.. so it shouldn't need to Transcode anything. I had 2 Wave files (24bit, 48khz) and a folder of j2k files (encoded with Assimilate Scratch.. using DCI JP2000 format). Maybe that message doesn't necessary mean it's transcoding the video? Just encoding into a MXF file (or does it say something else when creating the MXF files)?
Any tips on those messages would be helpful. No point in making j2k files twice.. just want to make sure I'm doing it all right. I don't have any of the boxes checked to 'Re-encode' files.
Thanks much,
Peter
