Make DCP from Blu-Ray

Post by bronze13 »

Hi, experienced users
I'm a newbie & could need some help. Which precise steps should I perform to create a DCP from a film on a Blu-Ray? My BD has folders like AACS, BDMW, BDSVM, CERTIFICATE. Which files do I need? Do I have to convert it to a video file first? Will this take away quality? :roll:
thx a lot

Hi there,
You need to rip the data from the Blu-Ray using something like MakeMKV or AnyDVD (see here). This doesn't lose any quality. Then load the resulting file into DCP-o-matic.
