Author Topic: Create/convert to DCP Carl Hetherington Film Handler Posts: 93 From: York, North Yorkshire, England Registered: Jul 2012 posted 03-27-2014 02:50 PM                        quote: Mark Strube When I go to "open" in the batch program (after saving my project in the non-batch program), I select the folder it created. It successfully opens the project. Then I go to "Make DCP" and it starts converting. I can open another project while it's converting, but I can't start that one, or queue it up. "Make DCP" is grayed out. The batch converter should look totally different to the standard DCP-o-matic. It sounds like you are loading the same program both times. Are you on Windows 8?  |  IP: Logged Mark Strube Master Film Handler Posts: 322 From: Milwaukee, WI, United States Registered: Feb 2007 posted 03-27-2014 06:02 PM                        I've tried it on both Windows 8 and Windows Server 2008 R2. On both, the batch converter looks like the same program.  |  IP: Logged Mark Strube Master Film Handler Posts: 322 From: Milwaukee, WI, United States Registered: Feb 2007 posted 03-28-2014 01:24 AM                        Ah-ha! I've found if I open the batch converter by going into the Program Files\DCP-O-Matic\bin folder, it actually loads the different program. It seems the shortcut was pointing the wrong place. Problem solved!! (Luckily I managed to get all my content converted in time anyways, spread the work across 3 computers.)  |  IP: Logged
