Author Topic: WARNING - Adjustment Bureau Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-03-2011 01:15 AM                     This is a friendly warning for everyone running Adjustment Bureau to please check their content! This is not a QC request. Here is the scenario... Drive is ingested into the library as normal. Content is then transferred to a screen server. Transfer crashes at the 12GB point. This exact same issue has been repeated in multiple locations in different cities and states. It isn't a fluke.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-03-2011 03:32 PM                     An update... Whoever mastered the DCP for Cinedigm screwed up the mastering. They are aware of the issue and have verified network transfers will not work with Dolby systems (and possibly others). This is because the DCP was not created following specifications. There is no plan to re-create the DCP to spec. DO NOT RETURN YOUR HARD DRIVES UNTIL YOU ARE DONE WITH THE MOVIE! Don't say I didn't warn you.  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-03-2011 03:34 PM                        Wait, wait. Digital is PERFECT, this can't possibly be happening  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Are the affected movie theaters supposed to beg for a 35mm film print (if they still have working film projectors installed) or just book something else? The devil is in the details. I have had a really shitty week over that one. Someone up the chain overlooking a critical detail "because it's not important" leads to problems for the people doing the actual "heavy lifting." Sometimes you get to start over from scratch -a real fun thing with design work under crazy deadlines.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 03-03-2011 11:02 PM                     Or the theater chain cancels the booking.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-04-2011 03:03 AM                     I think what it means is you'll have to directly ingest the content into each screen you want to play it on as opposed to the normal procedure of ingesting into a central server and then transferring the content to whatever screen you want to run it on.  |  IP: Logged Daniel Cook Film Handler Posts: 5 From: Wisbech, Camrbidgeshire, England Registered: Mar 2011 posted 03-07-2011 07:13 AM                     Our copy ingested and plays fine we ingested onto a doremi dcp-2k4 server we did how ever ingest to the screen we are playing the feature instead of a central server. I did how ever worry when i saw the post as i knew we was playing this on its release date & at that time no reply's had been posted. hope this information helps anyone  |  IP: Logged
