DDP Creation, Verification & Burn

DDP creation, verification & burn using Reaper, ddpinfo and ImgBurn.

Reaper

TLDR

1. Use the attached DDP-rev1.RPP to create your DDP file.
2. Drag and drop your tracks in, adding markers as you see fit. Use ! to specify INDEX0 positions and # to specify INDEX1 positions.
3. Triple check all track titles, performer names, ISRC, UPC etc.. The official list of supported DDP genres is in the File -> Render -> DDP dialog.
4. Render as type DDP.

Resources

To create a Reaper project that can be used to export as DDP see the following resources;

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNtnl09y5bY

Verify

Use ddpinfo to verify the contents of your rendered DDP folder;

ddpinfo.exe --verify C:\path\to\ddp\folder

Write Cue

Now write a CUE file so we can burn it;

ddpinfo.exe --wave C:\path\to\project\Masters\Format\Cue\Cue C:\path\to\project\Masters\Format\DDP\

Burn Cue

You can then burn the generated Cue using ImgBurn

Write Broadcast Waves

To write out WAVE files that can be uploaded to a digital distributor you can do the following;

ddpinfo.exe --wave-tracks C:\path\to\project\Masters\Format\WAV C:\path\to\project\Masters\Format\DDP\
