Spurious write full messages in log when encoding a DCP

Post by Guddu »

I am getting messages of these sort in the log file . . . Around 45000 messages for 1 DCP encoding (90 Minutes feature)

Is this normal or could i do something at my end to make this better?

You can ignore them, they don't indicate errors. It's just a housekeeping procedure to keep frames in sequence when the multithreaded encoding delivers them out of sync for the file writing.
