DCP Beginner

Post by alangoes »

Hi guys, I'm totally beginning at this DCP-thing, so I tried to convert a video and checked it on easyDCP but the colours were changed and the audio was very slow with a treble voice. The original video has the following settings: 1920 x 1080, H.264, AAC, Colour setting HD (1-1-1) and 2 audio channels. I put the standard configurations, but then the audio and the colours were really really bad. I'd like to know which are the best standard settings I should choose so I get the best DCP performance.

PS: I'm from Brazil and I'm not that fluent in english, so I beg your pardon.

Not sure about the audio issue, but depending on your choice of software player, the colors will be rendered in the wrong colorspace, that is normal. You have to switch the player to xyz->RGB, or use a 'real' cinema projector for your test. The audio could be a playback issue as well.

Which version of DCP-o-matic did you use? I'd say, bring this DCP to a cinema and play it there.
