    Hi,

    If I understand correctly, the DPP Metadata tool is a GUI which uses bmxtranswrap to insert metadata into the MXF.
    Is it possible to use bmxtranswrap directly in the command line to insert all of the required metadata parameters?

    Thanks

    Lior

    Yes, the cli is sufficient to create a DPP file with all the metadata. The DPP Metadata tool constructs a bmxtranswrap commandline to re-wrap and insert the metadata.

    I'm having trouble understanding what CLI switches correspond to the various metadata fields in the GUI. (when doing bmxtranswrap -h I see no switch for Programme Title, Episode Title, etc.)
    Or maybe there's a switch for some kind of an XML preformatted with all the parameters?

    Thanks

    Have a look at the scripts and text files in bmx/test/as11 for an example. You can either set properties individually using the --dm option, or as a group in a text file using the --dm-file option. The --seg option is for the segmentation data.
