opencinematools and XDC Solo G3 / Christie CP2000-M #15

Hi, I work at a film archive. Next to collecting and presenting film
history we are involved in reconstruction of lost, forgotten and mutilated
works (not only from the silent era). For some time now this field of work
has migrated to digital workflows (lots of reasons). For archiving our work
we sometimes resort to HDCAM tapes, for presentation and distribution to
DigiBeta tapes.

Given the wider dissemination of high-quality digital projectors and cinema
servers I started to wonder how we could put that to use. Basically
targeting dcp's for distribution and archiving (bad/good idea?). 

Only recently we bought a Christie CP2000-M projector and an XDC Solo G3
server. Enter opencinematools. So thank you for making our first steps
possible.

Right now I'm throwing various source materials at an ad-hoc toolchain
(mplayer/mencoder, imagemagick and the tools you list on
http://code.google.com/p/opencinematools/wiki/CommandLineTutorial:
openjpeg, asdcplib, opencinematools). Mixed results so far:

* Dump frames with mplayer
  optionally change colorspace/scale with convert
  encode with image_to_j2k
  asdcp-test ...
  mkcpl ...
  mkpkl ...
  mkmap ... 
works kind of fine. mkmap writes chunk paths like
"<Path>file:///movie.pkl.xml</Path>" though which the G3 chokes on
(plugging a usb disk with this in makes it say "Missing file:
G:\file:\\\movie.pkl.xml").
So I remove the "file:///" part from the chunk paths and then ingest works.
I wonder is this a G3 peculiarity? Am I missing an option for mkmap?

* Some of the dcp's I've built with this toolchain show up as invalid on
the G3. I guess the hashes might mismatch as I'm fumbling with ASSETMAP.xml
(changing chunk paths). What am I missing?

* The XDC Solo G3 is spec'd for MXF Interop MPEG2 playback so I guess I'd
like to avoid the lengthy JPEG2000 encoding. How can I do this?

I have many more questions and I'm not even aware of most of them right now
:) So suggestions, hints and experience reports would be much appreciated.

Wolfgang

Develop opencinematools instead of buy commercial software.
opencinematools is great tool that works the same as commercial package.

Maybe markov is ignoring commercial software are based on free project as i.e. 
OPEN 
SSL, FFMPEG (cineasset) and all the source code for reverse engineering can be 
read 
in the DCI test manual, so what is your intent whit your comment?
Hope you'll be banned.

Please, rado.markov, be more constructive or do not answer to questions.  This 
software 
has been developed for both commercial and free use.
