DCP - Output Size Concern

[Guddu]

I have a OV which is 158 GB approx. Its 2K and 5.1 with Original Language audio and no subtitled.

I created a localized DCP using it with subtitles burnt in and the movie title replaced by local language title (5 seconds video file).

The resulting DCP is 102 GB only.

I selected 200 Mb/s as the bandwith for the output DCP which was way more than the default.

I am worried if the output DCP is going to be lossy / lower quality when it comes to sound or the image quality. Kindly help dispel my doubts related to the process that I followed and if I should be doing something else to make this better/right or is it ok the way it is.

200 Mb/s is more than enough for 2K.

Yet, something seems odd here. If the bitrate of your video is 200 Mb/s and the resulting DCP is 102 GBs, for the original to be 158 GBs, it would mean that the video bitrate would be 55% more, and even more than that, if one considers the audio. That makes 310 Mb/s.

That bitrate would make many media blocks choke. So, you might want to check your numbers again.

How long is the runtime of this OV? Maybe someone actually created it using the 'default' DCI max of 250MBit/s for video.

As Ioannis says, I wouldn't care much, as 200MBit/s is more than good enough for 2k at 24fps.

Around 109 minutes. I would stick to 200 Mb/s. Thanks you so much for clarifying. I was getting a bit worried
