DCP-o-matic

Thanks a ton for your help! Sent to you via email.

Just had a DCP fail QC at a major distributor with yet another baffling error. I can never tell how seriously to take these errors, since I’m almost certain they’re just arbitrarily making up new rules at this point. This is an IOP DCP built with a version that’s about a month old. Error - cpl=46f32...

I would recommend against relying on Paragon ExtFS for... anything, really. I had a big DCP duplication project and used Paragon to copy the DCP to a bunch of hard drives. Not one was readable by the DCP servers at the theaters. I had to re-copy and re-send entirely new hard drives using Ubuntu. Was...

I have definitely noticed that!! Thanks for the info!

Brilliant. Thanks so much!

Yes, this was made yesterday with ver 2.14.54 git 89b5a8f65a. Not current, but not super old.
