marten, thank you so much you're a saint!
this program works, I don't know how but it just does.

thank you thank you! you've saved my assignment keep up the great work man!

I'm finding this flickering and change in exposure/highlights on quite a few sequences though. Shooting on a 5D mkIII, June 5th ML build, Komputerbay 1000X 64GB, 1920 X 720, 23.976 fps override. Is there anything else I must be missing that's causing the flicker?
Thankfully it lends itself quite well to the nature of the film, but obviously I need to tackle this before I shoot again.

Shot on a Tokina 11-16mm & Glidecam 4000.

Wanted to follow up on this, did you ever find a fix for the flickering frames?
I've been having issues with the flickering frames.

It's cool if you're shooting sky or something but it gets annoying if it's a low lit scene and the highlights randomly flicker

This means that the binary is not for your processor

Thanks for all the help by the way.
I'm getting the same message "cannot execute binary file"
would the MLV_dump work if I use terminal on say, another macintosh running an older version of OS X?

or would I have to use a windows machine?

are there any alternatives to converting MLV files? I've seen many videos online that show how people convert and edit their files, but it seems they leave out the mlv_dumping part and their files are already RAW..

Again, thanks for the insight and I appreciate all the tips I can get from you. I'm just eager to start editing the raw footage or "MLV" footage I shot..

1. don't use spaces
2. first cd into a directory ("cd  <directory>" and note the SPACE after cd)
3. then execute "./mlv_dump --dng <filename>" (ENTER THE FILENAME MANUALLY WITHOUT ANY PATH)
4. if this works, try using drag'n'drop or whatever, but first try to get it executing the most simple way as described in 1. to 3.

I am new to the forums, I've done a lot of searching on the web looking for quick and easy tutorials to convert my MLV files to RAW.
I've hit a road block with the "MLV_DUMP" via terminal solution.

Just wanted to say thank you "g3gg0" for posting very clear step by step directions on how to do this. I'm obviously doing it wrong..


Quick overview of my situation.

My Camera
5D Mark II

My Computer system
Macintosh OS X 10.9 "Mavericks"

I downloaded the Alpha_One_5D Mark II Magic lantern file from Nightly build website.

I've tried looking through the magic lantern settings via my 5D Mark II to see if there is a way to just shoot in RAW or DNG format directly, because I read in one forum someone suggested changing the file format from MLV to RAW. I was unable to find the setting to do just that..

I need help, and I've recorded my desktop typing in all the tips that everyone provided in this thread and I keep getting errors. I figured recording exactly what I'm doing in terminal should help everyone narrow down what I'm doing wrong in this process.
Please help!

Thank you!!
