DCP Encryption

Post by mbankhead »

Sorry if this has been asked before. I've made an encrypted DCP with KDMs for a number of cinemas. I now have to make another KDM for another cinema however I no longer have the DCP O Matic Project or made a DKDM, all I have is the encrypted DCP. How do I go about making a new key?

Thanks

You don't. You have to create a new encrypted DCP for this cinema.

Can I not just use the CPL file from the DCP and make a new KDM?

You used encryption to make sure no authorized person can access/play your DCP. Where is the sense in encryption if it can be overcome so easily?

Do not apply encryption if you don't understand the process fully.

Your encrypted DCP is now useless. You can erase it just as well.
