Author Topic: DCP Language Options Lincoln Spector Film Handler Posts: 46 From: Albany, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2012 posted 04-03-2013 07:34 PM                        Hi, folks. Some local theaters will, starting Friday, have one screening of From Up on Poppy Hill in the original Japanese with English subtitles. The rest of the day, they'll be screening the dubbed version. This has me wondering. Can DCPs have multiple audio and subtitle options, like a DVD or Blu-ray?

We sometimes get them with the drive, sometimes they are sent additionally per email/ftp and ingest later. They are usually set up so they work with the existing video and audio mxfs. Unlike DVD/BR, you cannot change subtitles while the show is running. And usually you have little (if any) control over the position and size of them.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 04-04-2013 04:09 AM                     Plus, you need to get a key/KDM for each version separately. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Lincoln Spector Film Handler Posts: 46 From: Albany, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2012 posted 04-08-2013 06:12 PM                        Thanks.
