Is a DCP in 4:3 possible?

Post by dcpforever »

A basic question, but one for which I don't have a precise and definitive answer.
A client who has a film in 4:3 tells me he wants a DCP in 4:3, but I tell him that's not possible, that you have to make a flat DCP with pillarbox, since 4:3 is not a DCI standard.
Am I right, or am I missing something, and is it possible?

I tried to explain all this here - maybe that will help. But in a nutshell, you are right.
