Creating DCPs
--
-Typical use for creating DCPs might be:
-@code
-#include <libdcp/dcp.h>
-using namespace std;
-
-libdcp::DCP dcp ("My Film DCP", "My Film", libdcp::DCP::FEATURE, 24, 50000);
-
-vector<string> j2k_files;
-j2k_files.push_back ("1.j2c");
-...
-j2k_files.push_back ("50000.j2c");
-
-// These images are 1998x1080 pixels (DCI Flat)
-dcp.add_picture_asset (j2k_files, 1998, 1080);
-
-vector<string> wav_files;
-wav_files.push_back ("L.wav");
-wav_files.push_back ("R.wav");
-wav_files.push_back ("C.wav");
-wav_files.push_back ("Lfe.wav");
-wav_files.push_back ("Ls.wav");
-wav_files.push_back ("Rs.wav");
-dcp.add_sound_asset (wav_files);
-
-dcp.write_xml ();
-
-@endcode
-
-This will create a DCP at 24 frames per second with 50000 frames, writing
-data to a directory "My Film DCP", naming the DCP "My Film" and marking
-as a Feature. We then add the picture and sound files (which creates
-MXF files inside the DCP directory) and then write the required XML files.
-
-If you want to report progress for long jobs (add_picture_asset() can
-take a long time, in particular, as it must do a lot of disk I/O for
-large DCPs), connect to the libdcp::DCP::Progress signal and report its parameter
-to the user (it will range between 0 for 0% and 1 for 100%) using something like
-
-@code
-void
-report (float p)
-{
- cout << "We are " << int (p * 100) << "% done.\n";
-}
-
-dcp.Progress.connect (sigc::ptr_fun (&report));
-@endcode
-
-If you can generate content paths algorithmically, you may prefer to do something
-like this:
-
-@code
-
-string
-j2k_path (int frame)
-{
- stringstream s;
- s << "my_j2ks/" << frame << ".j2c"
- return s.str ();
-}
-
-string
-wav_path (libdcp::Channel channel)
-{
- switch (channel) {
- case LEFT:
- return "left.wav";
- case RIGHT:
- return "right.wav";
- }
-
- return "";
-}
-
-...
-
-// Our images are 1998x1080 (DCI Flat)
-dcp.add_picture_asset (sigc::ptr_fun (&j2k_path), 1998, 1080);
-// We have two sound channels
-dcp.add_sound_asset (sigc::ptr_fun (&wav_path), 2);
-
-...
-
-@endcode
+An example of DCP creation is given in examples/make_dcp.cc.
