  Digital Cinema Package

  Posted by Christian Kinnard on November 12, 2008 at 4:57 am

  I was given a drive with a film wrapped as a Digital Cinema Package. Is there a way to extract that file for use in FCP?

  I am assuming there is not and that I need to request reels as QTs.

  Thanks for any help,
  Christian

  Most DCPs are encrypted. Even if it isn’t encrypted, the DCP would be a JPEG-2000 image sequence in the XYZ colorspace. You REALLY don’t want anything to do with this!

  If you don’t get the QT files instead, you’ll be in a world of hurt!

  That’s exactly the definitive answer I wanted to hear.

  Thanks Russell!
