Author Topic: Interop subtitles check error spacing Jordi Aguila Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Barcelona / Spain Registered: Feb 2017 posted 07-12-2017 04:29 PM                     Hello, we had a raport from a lab to deliver our dcp, they have made a check with a software and it warned about a non compilant subtitles because there is a tag into xml files that says "spaceing=0". Anyone knows if I could have any problem to play this dcp in any theater because the subtitles files have this tag?

If yes, then why? It's not part of the Cinecanvas/TI spec, so why is it in the file? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 07-13-2017 03:56 AM                     The easy answer: Those subtitles do not conform specs, so expect problems. The more complicated answer: Since it's still valid XML, most machines will most likely just ignore the keyword they don't understand. Don't rely on the complex answer though, fix it.  |  IP: Logged Lucas Iaccarino Film Handler Posts: 37 From: capital federal, buenos aires, argentina Registered: Feb 2015 posted 08-05-2017 06:01 AM                     Yes, DCP Player software will playback it, but Digital Cinema Server are not going to show them. Same things happen when FontId is miscalled. Best thing is to extract the subtitle with some Subtitle editor software and re generate it.  |  IP: Logged
