Can this be used for actual cinema display in theatres? #43

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

I'm not a programmer but aspiring filmmaker. Can the output of this software be 
used for exhibition in movie theatres? What are it's limitations or 
shortcomings, if any? What more needs to be implemented in it? I ask because I 
can get a few people to actively work on this if it can eventually I can use it 
for public exhibition.

What format should the input file be (video and audio)?

This is software for testing AND for specialist that know well what they do, 
but N O T to make free films for public exhibitions. Go to nearest post lab and 
ask them to make your filmfor digital cinema.

harsh, I suggest checking out DCPC. Its written in German, but there is an 
english guide on their site. It will guide you to make a compatible DCP for 
digital cinema, for free, using entirely freeware software. Ignore Rado, he 
discourages everyone posting on this site.

Just an FYU, I've also written an open source set of DCP tools, including a GUI 
version. It runs on Win32/OSX and is fully standalone (requires not extra tools 
or libraries).

yes i agree this project and it's admin are very rude and unprofessional and 
offensive, no wonder it has been dead and surpassed by many other open source 
DCP coders who are happy to work with users to a common productive goal.

@harshalnachnolkar: I'd recommend to look at Terrence's OpenDCP (see his post 
above). His toolset is actively maintained and solves a number of quirks which 
you might encounter with the somewhat abandoned opencinematools.

@labtopiafarms: You are confused. opencinematools' developer and maintainer is 
Marc Vandenbosch. Also, for a number of us, Vandenbosch's opencinematools was 
the first available open source codebase that allowed us to explore digital 
cinema from a technical pov. While its state is lamentable and it has indeed 
been rendered obsolete it is always wise to remember and respect your roots.
