I assume you are trying to convert RAW or MLV files to DNGs?
If so, there should be no difference between converting ones that are larger than 4 GB and ones that are smaller. You use the same process.
Have you been able to convert any files yet - even small ones?

This app will cat RAW file and make it to one big file and then convert the file to dng files.
Please copy the file if you want to keep them divided because the app will delete the old files after it has been merged to a big one.

I assume you have R.00 and so on since they are bigger than 4.29? If one file then convert as usual.

well, Frank, smaller files (those shots that ain't longer then 4,29 gb on the card) ain't no problem to convert to dng but those that prouve to be longer are impossible.

i'll try that , Danne.
Thanx!

Hi everyone!
I have the same problem that adrianssen but I can't solve it.  :-X I tried to install de ML Processor, but nothing: it generates a dng folder but the folder is empty. I have the raw file (4,29gb), and r00, r01, r02 files for the same clip. I even tried to merge the files directly with the CAT comand, but still nothing happens. In fact, thanks to the terminal, I suposedly generated a 12GB raw file, but it still can't be opened with MLRaw Viewer, Raw2Dng or RawMagic.
I'm really desperate!!!
Any one knows any other possible solution??
Thanks a lot!!!

Does conversion work with smaller files (< 4 GB)?
