RAW Desktop Playback OSX

[AnotherDave]

Hey,
I remember seeing someone developing a RAW desktop playback app a while back... any work been done on that lately?

*I'm speaking of an application that just played the .RAW file for review.

[mageye]

THIS IS NOT AN ANSWER!!! (Unfortunately)

But yes I saw the same thing and it's all gone very quiet on that one. What happened to it and why isn't the guy sharing the joy of it? It would indeed be a very useful thing to have. So I wish whoever it was could come from out from the woodwork and enlighten/share with the world.

I was thinking why declare such a thing and then disappear into obscurity???

It is a tease indeed

[aaphotog]

I believe its a fake.
He's since made 3 'test' videos showing the capabilities, but for some reason wants no one to have the software.
Heres his latest video

Syoyo posted the link to the software he is creating...

Anyone know how to install it?

My persistence worked...


I admire your enthusiasm on RAW video, so finally here it is

drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8AXAVUQ9BiKVXN1cDh3dmw1VGM&usp=sharing

Mac first. Linux soon.



Now, any help getting it going?
anyone willing to put this in a gui *scrax*?

[AnotherDave]

How do you run it?

[aaphotog]

How do you run it?

Thas what I'd like to find out

[mageye]

Links to the mentioned library files (or whatever they are???) (you know the ones mentioned in the text file )

ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/sourceware.org/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-4.8.1/

http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php

I have not yet installed them and am not sure about any of this but this is as far as I have got. I am going to install the above libraries (or whatever they are?)

EDIT: IGNORE THESE LINKS AND USE THE ONES FROM 'VROEM' BELOW. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING

[AnotherDave]

How do you even install them...? :-/

[mageye]

Good question...

I am really not sure right now . It's very linux like where you have to manually install (from terminal) all of these support structures just to get a tiny little app to run. It's not practical for the layman at least.

I may look at this in the day when I am thinking straight but now my head is like noodles. So I am going to bed. I need it

Good luck to anyone who wants to go through the process (and anyone that has success please post some clear instructions)

[AnotherDave]

I'm just trying to figure out where it wants me to put the files on my hard drive... where the hell is opt?

Here is how to get this to work using Homebrew. It works only on Mountain Lion.

Install Command Line Tools for Xcode from https://developer.apple.com/downloads (need free dev account)
Download gcc-mlion.tar.gz from http://hpc.sourceforge.net
Download rawdec: http://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8AXAVUQ9BiKVXN1cDh3dmw1VGM&usp=sharing
Extract gcc-mlion.tar.gz by opening the file.
Same for gcc-mlion.tar

Now in Terminal (note that you might skip gunzip gcc-lion.tar.gz if Safari already extracted it):

Code Select Expand


cd Downloads                                                     
gunzip gcc-lion.tar.gz                                           
sudo tar -xvf gcc-mlion.tar -C /                                  # Installs hpc gcc
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"   # Installs homebrew
brew install sdl                                                  # Installs sdl using homebrew
cp rawdec.osx.2013-07-03/rawdec /usr/local/bin/            # Installs rawdec

You can now launch the App like this:

Code Select Expand

rawdec MyMovie.RAW
During playback you might need to press I or Shift+I to increase or decrease intensity.

anyway to get this going for snow leopard? I see that command line tools is only for mountain lion

[aaphotog]

seems like I've done it all...

but when I put this command in terminal

Code Select Expand

cp rawdec.osx.2013-07-03/rawdec /usr/local/bin/

there's nothing that happens...
then I put in the last command(the one you stated runs the Raw)
and it says illegal command. The raw is in  my downoads folder. whats going on?

[aaphotog]

I went and manually found the rawdec file and opened it, this is what

[vroem]

rawdec is 10.8 only. It looks like it's compiled for that. Furthermore depends on hpc gcc 4.8 which is also 10.8 only.

[mageye]

@vroem

Thanks first of all for the instructions. That's about as clear as you can make it. All of the little install steps appeared to go fine.

When I run the folowing command:

rawdec M26-2040.RAW

I get this:

OpenMP Enabled: # of threads = 2
magic = RAWM
[RAW] width       = 640
[RAW] height      = 426
[RAW] frames      = 29
[RAW] frame skip  = 1
[RAW] bits        = 14
[RAW] black level = 1790
[RAW] white level = 15000
[RAW] frame size  = 479232
[RAW] active area = (160, 52) - (2312, 1128)
[RAW] crop        = origin (0, 0), size (2152, 1076)
len = 140735102008632, frames = 29, width = 640, height = 426, bits = 14, compos = 1
ptr = 0x10992c000
len = 13897920
Illegal instruction: 4

I also tried to run a Cinema DNG file and got this:

OpenMP Enabled: # of threads = 2
numEntries = 32
[DNG] white_level = 15000
[DNG] black_level = 1791
[DNG] color_matrix =
0.471600, 0.060300, -0.083000
-0.779800, 1.547400, 0.248000
-0.149600, 0.193700, 0.665100
max_idx = 0, width = 2048
offt = 2048
len = 4407296, width = 2048, height = 1076, bits = 16, compos = 1
Illegal instruction: 4

Of course I tried a number of other files of different resolutions and every one comes up with the 'Illegal instruction: 4' error.

Of course I don't know what illegal instruction 4 is and how to resolve it. It looks as though it wants to play the file though and is promising that it gives me all the information about the file.

I just can't get it to work though

Any ideas???

[aaphotog]

No way to get this to run on snow leopard(10.6.?
Anyone willing to build a gui for this that can run on snow leopard?
*cough* SCRAX *cough*

@mageye: no idea what's going on here, you need to ask the syoyo, he is the developer:

@aaphotog: Sigh... syoyo build it for 10.8, wrapping it in a gui will not magically make it work.

I'm not that knowledgable about such things. I figure, maybe replacing one of the files with something different may work. You never know, if you never ask

[aaphotog]

I went ahead and upgraded from snow leopard to Mountain Lion to use this.

Vroem, thank you very much for the detailed instructions in laymen terms. Works PERFECT for me!

Which version of Mountain Lion did you use? because I got an error (see above). I am running 10.8.4 and am thinking now that it's that that's causing the error?

I wish i could help with your problem, but Im far from knowledgeable about terminal stuff
