It's usually when you get the flat and scope versions in the same zip that they bust the 4GB barrier.įrank - agreed, and I'm surprised that this is happening as often as it does (about once every 4-6 weeks for me, at a guess). I think ATMOS trailers now start to break that barrier. Even the larger ones we download usually end around 3GB or so.
Zip for mac archive#
There may be other issues around ZIP files larger than 4GB as well, not strictly related to an OS X archive function.įortunately, I think I have never seen a trailer of that size. It's a known problem indeed, and all I can suggest for now is to buy a cheap second hand Mac or run OS X in a VM to get a grip onto those files. Another form of extraction takes place then with no errors, the now unzipped DCP can be transferred with FTP or USB and ingested without issues. When I get to the DCP folder I left click and pull the folder out on the desktop. My workaround then is to double click on the zip archive and open it (WinRAR does that automatically). WinRAR throws an error (I can't remember exactly what right now, but it's something about something that is too big). I'm normally using WinRAR on Win 7, 8, 10 btw. I'm not sure it's the same issue but this is what I have experienced lately:Ībout 5% of downloaded trailers won't extract properly. I think modern versions of the Apple operating system are based on BSD Unix so tar and bzip2 should be readily available. There are numerous, arguably better, options for creating compressed archives other than zip. If they are sending you defective archives then I suggest the proper solution would be to tell them to stop doing that. I have had luck opening files that winzip will not. a third party zip program) that enables the contents of these big Mac zips to be extracted in either Windows or Linux (ideally in Ubuntu, but I'd be open to using another flavor of Linux live boot if that would do the job). We're being given more and more download links for trailer DCP zips that I can't open because of this, and I was wondering if anyone had stumbled across any fix or workaround (e.g. If you Google this, you'll find lots of stuff online about it, but this page summarizes the problem pretty well.
