My pleasure! BTW, the DCI homepage is here: https://www.dcimovies.com/

Blu-Ray would be good for this.

If your media is on tape, you’d probably be better of just recapturing it.

[jason godot] “am I seeing the true uncompressed signal even for 1 frame?”
No.
[jason godot] “Or is the signal being converted to the mini-dv codec for video preview?”
Yes.
Your camcorder cannot see any firewire signal other than DV video.

You need to find a post house or lab that does DCI encoding. This is still a speciality that not to many places do, and the DCI spec is very specific. If your video doesn’t match the spec, it won’t play on the theatre’s server.
The same shop should be able to upres your video to 2k. They will tell you what to bring to them, most likely they’ll want it in it’s current format.
Your video cannot go to a telecine. Telecine is for film to be transferred to video, not the other way around.
DI is a fancy way of saying color correction. The shop that does your DCI encoding can probably do your DI.

The FCP manual has these diagrams. I think there are diagrams in the Decklink manuals as well.

It’s funny, but I’m experiencing something of the opposite problem.
I’ve been working on DI’s lately, and we’re seeing material that’s seriously wacked.
In one case, our client admitted that their on set monitors were probably too bright, and that’s why all of their film was shot too dark.
We suspect that many clients are coming to us from color grading sessions where the monitors are set up wrong (and scopes are either not being used or are ignored), and as a result, the material looks like crap when it gets to us & needs to be quickly re-graded.

You can post this on indie film sites like withoutabox.com. Also, try placing a press release here and on sites like fxshare.com.

You could always try Photo-JPEG at 50%. I’ve had a very good experience using that for many purposes. Just remember to stretch it back out to full raster for export.

[David Roth Weiss] “It’s the migratory season for doves now too, but when they run out I may have to find another source of protein.”
This is one of the good things about living in New York. There’s always a lot of pigeons (aka rock doves), even in winter. All you need to do is hang out near a statue with a net.
