Problem with the DISK WRITER for mac

Post by Thierse »

Hi there,

today I tried to use the DCP-o-matic DISK WRITER for the fist time. When I hit copy DCP I received this error message:
Bildschirmfoto 2023-01-09 um 18.03.14.png
Bildschirmfoto 2023-01-09 um 18.03.14.png (45.16 KiB) Viewed 1094 times
And after that I got this one:

I followed the process, but I was not able to write on my hard disc.
I am using macOS Monterey 12.6.2.

Is that a bug?

Thanks!

If you have any files in `/var/log` whose names start with `dcpomatic` perhaps you could attach them or send to carl@dcpomatic.com

Thanks! Do you also have a file `disk.log` in

Code: Select all

/Users/your_user_name/Library/Preferences/com.dcpomatic/2/2.16
?

If so, could you also send that?

Hi @carl, I downloaded this newest version 2.16.40 but it still doesn't work. Exactly the same error messages. Do you have an idea, what I can do to make it working?

Could you please try this version? It has one possible fix and some extra error reporting.

Hey Carl, thanks for that! When I try to install it it's looks like this:

Is it correct named? Has it not to be named Disk Writer? Don't want to install a new version of DCP-o-matic. I guess the DCPs I created are fine.
