DCP Transcoding Freezes at 51%
Posted: Mon May 27, 2019 10:04 pm
Background: I am attempting to create a DCP from an 11 minute MP4 file. The MP4 runs flawlessly through multiple playback platforms, including on YouTube. The file size before converting the MP4 to DCP is 2.1 GB. I am creating the DCP on a flash drive with a 32GB capacity which is formatted for NTFS. I have been converting MP4 files to DCP, mostly retro trailers, for several years using DCP-o-matic with minimal issues.
The problem: I've tried converting the MP4 file to DCP multiple times over the past two days. I am showing the file on Thursday, May 29, so I still have 2 more days to figure out the problem. I updated DCP-0-matic to 2.14.5, with no resolution. I tried multiple thumb drives, with no resolution, and even tried reforming the thumb drive. Every time I attempt to create the DCP, it freezes at exactly 51%, at exactly the same number of frames. I have tried both the IOP and SMPTE options.
Any ideas or suggestions?
