Surely in this day and age, someone should be able to come up with software that can do that -- what about all that business about 1s and 0s make perfect copies with NO degradation? Why can't a straight forward one-to-one identical copy be made of the BR/DVD -- skipping all the crap, of course? The reason why you can't is simple: Practically all current Blu-Rays use H.264. DCPs do currently not support H.264 and also no uncompressed image data. Also, the color space of Blu-Rays is different than that of DCPs. So, you need to decompress your H.264 stream and compress it again, either using JPEG2000 or MPEG2. So, DCPs aren't the solution. The solution is a server or IMB that can play H.264 compressed files directly.  |  IP: Logged
