Generally, the VF will have the same name as the OV except the part that changes (e.g. 71 instead of 51 if it is a Surround 7.1 version). Better servers will find the bits and pieces that make up the VF without needing to ingest the OV separately.  |  IP: Logged Lucas Iaccarino Film Handler Posts: 37 From: capital federal, buenos aires, argentina Registered: Feb 2015 posted 02-22-2017 05:20 PM                     Probably you should check the one that shares the same MXF files. I used DCP Players Demo Software (EasyDCP for example) to see how each CPL is conformed, and then decided which files to play.  |  IP: Logged
