Frame has an image component that is too large?

Post by Mizunator »

Hey all. Upon verifying my DCP I'm getting a lot of alerts saying "Frame xxx has an image component that is too large (component 0 is 1041671 bytes in size)" I didn't see this error listed in the manual. Any idea how important this error is, and how to avoid it when exporting the DCP?

Many thanks!

Hi
Was your DCP done with DoM?
DoM uses OpenJPEG which normally limits the size of the components to 80% of the maximum size of the image.
Or at 250 Mbit/s at 24fps = 1302083 bytes per image, therefore 1041666 bytes per component.
However, you must limit it to 190-200 Mbit/s for 2K output, or 235-245 for 4K output to be safe.

No, I exported using Resolve in the Kakadu codec. I set the bit rate to 220 for a 2K video - I'll check if setting it to 190 fixes the issue!
