Title: Video Output in Raw2Dng
Post by: NitromanX on August 26, 2013, 09:50:51 PM
Hi !

Just wondered if it would be quicker (and possible), to output a lower res / quality video file when processing video in raw2dng ?

I primarily use the ProResHQ output just to see the video content and not for any other reason - and it seems to take ages to compress the high quality video file.

Be nice to have the option to chose - although I know i'm asking a LOT !

You guys are fantastic to have achieved what you have and just thought i'd give some feedback to try and help streamline the functionality.

Keep up the great work !  ;)

for that you'd need two converters
(rawdata is no base for nothing, so first from dng to f.i. tif with dcraw, then from tif-sequence to prores with ffmpeg).
nonsense and not needed in this first stage of getting the picture data - thats the choice in the second step.
(and i dont think, you'd rewrite this tools - in german "das rad neu erfinden")

primarly, that was your thought - its not quicker. its just for the lazier ones ;)
