Hi carl and Friends ,

One of the DCP i made, was showing error at 99% while ingesting. What could be the problem ???

It plays OK on my player and even resolve opens it.

That DCP was being ingested using a portable HD. Could that be a problem ???

It exists as a test on another server?

[kmeh7]

I tried it at only one server.

I read in one of the article that dcp should be in Root Folder and should be in harddisk withits own power supply.

Mine was in a portable harddisk and it was not in root folder. Could that be a problem ??

No, HDDs don't need its own power supply unless server's USB port doesn't provide enough power. And there's no need to place DCPs in the root folder. Most servers scan entire disk to find DCPs, KDMs, etc.
Anyway, if your server sees your DCP and ingest it then it's not power supply and DCP placement problem.
It might be reading error and/or corrupted file(s) and/or incorrect file hash(es). If possible try it on another server first.

Hi Scorpion81

Honestly, The preview of film is today in couple of hours. So i am taking original dcp inside a hardisk ( with power supply) and deleted all unneccesary folders. Hoping for it to work.

Glad to hear it worked! But what was the problem - that is the question! Perhaps HDD, maybe corrupted file(s), but surely not the power supply, not DCP placement.

Hi scorpion81

It has to be either of both (hard with power supply or folder change ) cos i used the same DCP.

Only the hard disk and folder structure was changed.
