hey! I had exactly the same problem! It used to work before but then it stopped! I’m on Resolve 12.5.1 and my XMLs are conform to the TI interOP standard (they come out of “belle nuit montage”). I found out the reason it stopped working was I accidentally changed alignment/position parameters and the subs went off-screen partly. so make sure the XML has vertical tags like 90-95 and not more. ideally it just uses DCI standards. that being said, check with your software, I do not know annotation edit but there must be some sort of alignment/format parameter!

e.g. for me i had something like:
SUBTITLE
which is clearly off-screen (102%). the correct line should read:
SUBTITLE

if you have more than one line it usually is something like 87-92 and thats ok!

hey! I have exactly the same problem! It used to work before but now it stopped! I’m on Resolve 12.5.1 and my XMLs are conform to the TI interOP standard (they come out of “belle nuit montage”, which always worked). For some reason it stopped working, it is a problem with easyDCP i guess. Since a certain 8system) update, also the easyDCP creator does not accept my XMLs anymore! more insight and opinions highly appreciated!

i just want to concur quickly! if i disable outline (set it to “none”) i can have any values of the other options they do not get in the way at all. i’m on mac and cs6

i have the exact same problem. first i thought the CUDA update did something but on my other machine it is the same without it. v9 and even beta 1 of v10 worked! someone told me, resolve only handles cineform DNGs up to 12bit – but the ML RAW files are converted to cinemaDNG which should be supported in 14bits as well

NTFS works on DOREMI and some other servers (with the latest firmware).

the easiest way to deliver an EXT2 formatted harddisk (without using any linux) is the following though:

make your DCP with openDCP, then install Acronis Disk Director (the trial version will do, you can also burn a boot CD for any type of operating system) and follow these steps:

connect external harddrive, format it with Disk Director to EXT2 (cluster size 4KB) and after that change the i-node size to 128KB (right click on the harddisk -> change i-node size). do not forget to click on “commit changes” after each step.

the hard disk does not need to be set to “primary” or “active” in case you wonder. the 2 steps above are enough. windows: the Acronis Disk Director comes with all the drivers you need, so you can copy your DCP content (root folder) on it. mac: you need a 3rd-party driver to read/write ext2/3 file systems. you can either use the freeware Fuse with the Ext2/3 extension or Paragon EXTFS (also available as a trial).

hey there!

i just finished my first DCP with openDCP and it’s kick-ass. i tested it in a big cinema that had a DOREMI 2k4k server with a DOLBY DP8 processor. 5.1 surround played beautifully and picture was marvelous as well – i delivered on a NTFS hard disk.

openDCP in the latest version has a GUI, which is perfect for anyone. the only thing you need is your movie as a TIFF sequence (best settings, best depth, sRGB colorspace) – do them in after effects or FCP, do not use quicktime or another 3rd party tool, they might be faster but quality is not as good.

your sound can either be stereo or up to 6 descreet channels (5.1) – you can mux everything together in the very self-explaining openDCP.

worldwide DCI standards are: 24p on a ext3 formatted esata harddisk https://www.isdcf.com/ISDCF/DiscFormat.html read here.
BUT it depends on the DCP servers what actually plays. SONY and DOREMI both are able to play 25p as well as read NTFS disks, which is a dream, because formatting a disk to ext3 (linux) is tricky (even on linux, because you need to fit all the specs which are not that standardized on every linux distribution).

thank you, openDCP, for this great way for indie-filmmakers to actually deliver DCP movies to the world!
p.s. in our case we had to stick to 25p because the quality of any sound stretch was insufficient. even with pitch correction.
