DCP Not rendering anymore

Post by PhillipSerafin »

I was able to find success in February when creating the DCP (After running into a magnitude of issues). I rendered the 2 hour film with a h.264 codec then rendered it as Apple ProRes 4444, after I ran it through DCP o matic and delivered it to the theater to get ingested into the projector. It worked very smoothly, however it doesnt work anymore. I went through the same exact process over 10 times and it is unable to come together properly. Here is a screenshot of what the Verifier said:

Im not sure what it means exactly but I plan to find out before I have to show the movie again which will be soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like data/memory corruption. Are you using an external disk to create the DCP?


'I rendered the 2 hour film with a h.264 codec then rendered it as Apple ProRes 4444'

Why two different codecs?

Are you actually recreating the DCP for another showing? Then why don't you use the DCP you created earlier?
Or, are you verifying the existing DCP and that fails?

We need more information.

I am very content using Crystal Disk Info for determining (a magnitude of) issues.
