Can I continue from last reel?

Post by CashMoney »

Hi all,
The DCP I'm doing for a feature froze at 94%. I had it set to make 5GB reels. Can I keep the finished reels and redo the reel it failed/the end?

Any help would be amazing.

Thank you :)

If you re-start the transcode it should go through the bits it has already done quite quickly.

Can you send the "log" file from inside your project folder to carl@dcpomatic.com ?

Hmm, it seems like it's just starting the encode from scratch.

It might look like that but it should be a lot faster than the first time around?

Thanks for the log; sadly it doesn't give much away. If you still see the problem you could help with debugging by going to Preferences -> Advanced, ticking all the debug boxes, then re-running the encode and re-sending the log.

Thanks!

Let us know how you get on.

Silly me had it on single reel when I tried to redo it. Changed it back to custom and it scanned and is now "encoding" at 30-40fps. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know if it finishes successfully :)

May I ask - why 5GB reels?
