DCP Audio Out of Sync in Player

Post by _Blegh »

Hi All,

First time making a DCP (ever) and using DCP-o-matic. It was recommended by a film festival I got into for my short film. I followed the directions they gave me and I made my DCP using a 2560 × 1440 Apple ProRes 422 HQ, an SRT captions file, and 5.1 sound in the form of six .wav files (Mono, 48 kHz, 24 bits per sample). However, when I try to play the DCP in the DCP-o-matic player the audio is super out of sync (late, specifically). I was wondering if there's anyway to know if there's just a problem with the DCP player itself (rather than the DCP) or if I might have done something wrong.

It's hard to be sure but I would guess it's a problem in the DCP rather than the player.

Perhaps you could show the log and metadata.xml files that are written inside the DCP-o-matic project folder?

Turns out my audio files weren't synced properly in the import. So just me being silly. Thank you for your response though! I really appreciate it.
