Just drag the OpenDCP icon to your Applications folder. You only need the 'bin' or other folders if you are using the command line version.

Thank-you for the feedback. Multi-reel has been something on the to-do list for awhile as well as having a simple mode for the GUI. Unfortunately, as with many free/open-source projects, having the time to work on them is a big part of things.

The JPEG2000 encoding is dependent upon the existing libraries and there are a limited number of them. There is a GPU accelerated project in development and if/when that is completed I will look to integrate it into OpenDCP. The other option is to license a commercial encoder, but would add significant cost to OpenDCP.

There are numerous GUI subtitling tools, some of which can write to DCI specifications. This is not really within the scope of a DCP application.

OpenDCP itself, supports encryption for use with KDMs, but the actual generation of KDMs themselves are not suited for OpenDCP. That would really be a separate application.

Yes, there are some issues with audio channel mappings with digital cinema in general, complicated by the MXF Interop/SMPTE packaging. The audio channels should be correct for MXF Interop packages. There is some work to do to address the SMPTE packaging.

There are links on the front web page.

From what I recall these warnings are about the title. There are no requirements on title, so a DCP should never fail for that reason. If it does, then the server itself is non-compliant.

It encrypts the MXF, so it cannot be used without the proper digest key. You could in theory, take the encrypted MXF and have somebody generate KDMs.

I would say everyone  *thinks* they want it... until they realize what is involved and the potential pitfalls. KDMs are distribution process which requires an infrastructure in place to make it manageable.

Most people using OpenDCP are not creating high value content in which there is a significant risk of financial loss or incentive that outweighs the complexity of KDMs. Most film festivals do not accept encrypted material.

Not really, it's generally not something useful for the typical user of OpenDCP.

You most likely did a double XYZ conversion... once in DaVinci and again with OpenDCP.

Again, please post the filename of the first and the last images. How are you checking your DCP? If it is not a real digital server, then any results are suspect.

OpenDCP will not crop or pad your image. You should not mix aspect ratios of the images, unless you have already cropped or padded them prior.

Which version of OpenDCP, what OS? List the settings used when creating the JPEG2000s, number of frames, and the first and last filenames.

Requires OSX 10.6+.

Please post the filename of the first and the last images. You need to make sure there are no non-ascii characters in the filename or path. Your file sequences need to be padded with enough 0's so that order can be determined. For example:

frame1.j2c
frame2.j2c
...
frame 10.j2c

are bad because some OS's will list them like:

frame1.j2c
frame10.j2c
frame2.j2c

instead you should do:

frame001.j2c
frame002.j2c
...
frame010.j2c

So that all frame numbers have equal digits.

If you source material is 8-bit, then create 8-bit TIFFs, then use those with OpenDCP.

It is possible to create a DCP with no audio tracks, however, it is recommend to make black wav or silent tracks to match the picture duration.

I'm not familiar with any system that only accepts FAT drives. Nearly all systems read EXT2/3 formatted drives which is the defacto standard. Some systems allow you to upload files over the network using FTP. You could see if they support that or use files sharing to get it over to the system.

1. Which version of OpenDCP are you using?
2. Make sure they are 1 channel. Some applications will create mono wav files with 2 channels.

I've heard about similar audio issues like this from time to time due to various firmware issues with the servers. They usually seem to get resolved with another update. I would contact GDC.

Glad you are finding OpenDCP useful. Thanks.

The OpenDCP application is not a signed application, so OSX will not open it by default.

You can follow the directions below to open the application:
