As far as I can tell, if you are providing files to be shown at a festival or event, the only chance you have of getting an image on screen with the same basic grey scale you saw at home, without motion artifacts, and without random failures, is to provide a DCP file. I know it's ugly, but it's u

In this case it's not used equipment. It is being sold by Robert Miniaci who creates and manufactures his own brand of film looper. At 10:59 -0400 16/07/14, Nicholas Kovats wrote: You don't often see these babies on Da Bay, i.e. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eiki-16mm-projector-with-20-minutes-fil

I agree that you shouldn't use 44.1 kHz and still see h264 as a streaming format and not fit for theatrical projection. Unless the theater has a slow ass computer of course. Find out if they have a dcp server wherever it is your screening. If so then check out opendcp.org dk > On Jul 16, 2
