Glitchy Image on DCP-o-matic
I am trying to make a DCP of an MP4 file I have been sent online. The digital master plays perfectly, however on the DCP-o-matic playback screen, the image is glitchy. It has horizontal bar glitching when there is fast movement on screen (looks fine when still). Does anyone know why this might be and if it is going to be an issue on the projector also? See image for example.

Looks like an interlacing artefact; I guess whatever you're playing the master on has some deinterlacing filter.
It will definitely look like that on the projector also.
You could either try to deinterlace the master first, in some other software, or right-click on the file in DCP-o-matic, select "Advanced settings...", then click "Edit..." next to "Video filters" and tick "Yet Another Deinterlacing Filter".
You'd then have to re-make the DCP. It might be worth making a test sample first to see if you like the results.
