Anybody know about transferring, translating, rendering (whatever) video to DCP, Digital Cinema Package?
That something we can do in Vegas Pro, or do is it best ot have a production house handle this?
It's nothing you can do in Vegas. There are software packages out there that produce DCP packages, but they are very expensive. If this is just on once-in-a-while or one-off DCP project for you, better to let a service bureau do it.
What you can do in Vegas Pro is render your project to a DPX image sequence and sound to uncompressed wave (24 bit, 48 or 96 kHz, each channel to a separate file). Then you could use e.g. OpenDCP to do the DCP conversion and packaging. It's a free-of-cost-solution and it works fine.
Yeah, found that Open DPC , but am just staring at the interface wondering what to do.
Sort of like when the car acts up and I open the hood and just look.
Thanks for the clue Marco.
Encoding will be a tall order for one as technically challenged as I!
Here goes nothing.
Marco, now I have all these DPX files.
The interface defaults to MXF, and doesn't seem to allow me to enter the files into the "picture" window.
Is there a manual somewhere I wonder?
