3D DCP creation doesn't work

Post by kidpump »

Hello DCP-o-matic Forum! :)

I'm a german student who did a stereoscopic 3D advertisement for my master's thesis. On 3th August I have to present this advertisement in a local cinema. Therefore they need a dcp file / folder, so I try to make one with DCP-o-matic Version 2.9.0.

I've created 2 clips: Left Eye / Right Eye (~18s duration, 550MB each file)
I import both and at "Type" I choose "3D only Left" for the left clip and "3D only Right" for the right clip.

In DCP Settings I choose 16:9 at DCI containertype.

Then I click on Tasks -> Create DCP

When it's finished the DCP folder has only 170MB. When the cinema imports the folder it doesn't recognise the format properly and you see a picture only a short time. I tried with SMPTE and Interop, both doesn't work.


It would be so great if you help me.

OK, thanks. Something has gone wrong with how DCP-o-matic parses your .mov files. Can I get a copy of them somehow?

Hi there,
Thanks. Your problem should be fixed in 2.9.8 if you would like to try that.
Cheers, Carl

Okay, I've created a dcp folder and now it's ~400MB instead of 170. Seems to be a little to small?

At 100Mbit/s i.e. 12.5Mb/s and with a video 18 seconds long that would come out as 225Mb for the video part of the DCP, so it sounds like the right ballpark... depending on what JPEG2000 bit rate you've chosen.
