You forgot 24, 48 and 60 frame rate versions of the above Cameron film . . . . . .
quote: Mike BlakesleyThat would make too much sense Mike. You know better.
Why can't they make one version that "has" everything and let the software in the projector sort it out? Why isn't THAT possible?
quote: Mike BlakesleyAren't DCPs really "container files" which are really just folders that contain all the files necessary to present a given program or segment of a program? Aren't many of the files inside the DCP container just container files, themselves? Aren't these files tied together by an XML file which gives the computer its instructions on which files to play and when?

We already have TRAILERS tagged as FEATURES, ADS, TEST/OTHER. quote: Jack OndracekThis certainly could be an issue. Also of concern is storage space on each screen server. If we're only talking one version of the image files, but multiple audio versions, storage space wouldn't be as much of a concern; the image files take up the most room. But once you start talking about 2D and 3D and 3D6FL, storage space would certainly become a concern. That's three features right there, and many screen servers only hold 3-4 average features. And no, you can't ingest only part of a DCP; it's all or nothing. You must ingest the entire package. So if all three versions were packaged together in a single DCP, you would be forced to ingest the entire DCP even if you only need one version.
Ummmm...
Can they get all that on one hard drive?
quote: Randy StankeyThere will be some need for the exhibitor to choose which version they want to play (out of the versions they are equipped to play).
Except for trailers, why should there be more than one different version of a movie? I assume trailers and other content still need to be formatted the same as the feature. Correct?
quote: Scott NorwoodI believe that 3D and 2D use a different colour-space. (Someone correct me if I'm using the wrong terminology.) I know that if I add 3D content to a 2D playlist everything turns into lovely shades of pink, purple and green.
what happens if a 3D DCP is played on a 2D system? Is the result watchable, or does it look like a 3D film would to a viewer not wearing 3D glasses?
quote: Scott NorwoodThat's what I (and I assume everyone else) do. Most movies come with two files: blah-blah-CCAP and blah-blah-OCAP. Generally all I need to ingest and play is blah-blah-CCAP.
Couldn't a theatre without the close-captioning system just play the closed-captioned file?
quote: Scott NorwoodThe open-captioned screenings will not be exclusively for hard of hearing customers, so somebody may appreciate the extra sound channels.
And what could possibly be the point of a 7.1 mix with an open-captioned file?
