I am creating a mass of DCPs for a short film festival and of course a number of them arrive with a frame rate of 23.976 fps. I have successfully exported these in DOM to 24fps DCPs and they play just fine BUT their duration is the same as the original material - to the parts of a second.
How can this be? Surely they should just a tad shorter (by 1 second per 16 minutes 40 seconds of content - if my maths is correct).
No big issue, just a bit of confusion.
Now that DOM handles 5.1 audio well its truly fab!!

Re: Convert 23.976 fps to 24 fps
Maybe they are just flagged the wrong way. Also, for e.g. a 10min short, the difference is just half a second - that is 12-14 frames shorter at best. Some apps may apply rounding around full seconds.
I am sure, if you load the ingoing and outgoing audio into an audio editor, you will see the small difference.

Carsten,
Yes it is as you say. Turns out that Premier Pro "runs" all 23.976fps movies at 24fps without telling/asking as do many other players.
The venerable Quicktime gets it pretty close however.
Thanks for a great app.
