Thank you.
Thanks to the guide, I was able to get what I wanted. Thank you.

In addition, I would like to tell you what I have learned and what I have thought about in this process.
I did a search on Google with the DaVinci Resolve Naming Scheme. So I found something like the following on the following page.
https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=32836



You can see that this is named CAMERA ID / Date / Time / Clip #. After knowing this, there is one question to be asked. For example, it has the name M13-1450_1_2018-06-13_0001_C0000. Why do MLVFS, MLV App, and Switch all display time information in clip name as 0001? Personally, it is more intuitive to display the time information than the meaningless information of 0001, so I think that there will be some profit because I can know the shooting time.

I tried to modify some of the code as a test and changed the name like M13-1450_1_2018-06-13_1450_C0000.

sprintf(*mlv_basename, "%s_1_%d-%02d-%02d_%02d%02d_C%04d", start, 1900 + frame_headers.rtci_hdr.tm_year, frame_headers.rtci_hdr.tm_mon + 1, frame_headers.rtci_hdr.tm_mday, frame_headers.rtci_hdr.tm_hour,  frame_headers.rtci_hdr.tm_min, 0);





I think the naming scheme is more useful for displaying time information. Then I thought that "_1" after the camera "M13-1450" had no meaning, so I thought it seemed unnecessary.

I tried it and found that it was possible.



For your reference, let me tell you why I want to remove "MLV" from the clip name. My system will drop frames when playing clips loaded with MLVFS. So I have to convert it to dng for smooth editing. When I am done editing, the dngs are deleted, and sometimes I need to make some changes later. At this time, it is too time-consuming and energy-intensive to convert all back to dng, so I want to load it into MLVFS instead. At this time, if the clip names are the same, I can simply continue the work by specifying a new folder.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello.

It seems trivial but I found something a little cumbersome for me. If you select Naming Scheme as DaVinci Resolve in MLVFS, "MLV" is inserted in the middle of the file name.





It is not included in other conversion programs (MLV App, Switch).



Here is my mlv file.

I used https://bitbucket.org/dmilligan/mlvfs/downloads/MLVFS.dmg

I'm not sure, but I think this is a bug in MLVFS, what's your opinion? If this is a bug, I hope it is fixed.

Thank you.

Danne Thank you for your suggestion.

I tried Magic Zoom. It will be quite helpful when taking fixed shots. However, when shooting a slight motion shot, I could not move the zoom box during shooting, so it seemed a bit difficult to control. Still useful information thanks.

Purchasing an hdmi monitor is burdensome for now, so I hope to find a way to fix it with my smartphone if possible.

I'm testing DSLR Coltroller again. When you shoot with DSLR Coltroller, these characters appear on the camera lcd. I do not know the meaning of this code, but I do not know if I can get help from this.




Thank you very much.

Thank you for your reply.

I have tried several things first with M10-1746, including what you recommended. The method I have found so far is to import the mlv file from the MLV App and uncheck "Enable RAW Correction".

Then select "Export Selected Clips" from the File menu. Then, when I import the file from Da Vinci Resol, both video and audio are played back simultaneously. I do not see anything like color casts.


I also tried M10-1749, which is exported but the message in the conversion process is different from M10-1746. When the converted dng is imported into Da Vinci, the resolution information is "2048x1556".

When I check the information of the dng file in the finder, it appears as "1920x818", and it seems that some misinformation is transmitted.

In the last few weeks, as I was searching and testing various information, what I was feeling was that I wanted to know how to stably shoot with a magic lantern on a bigger screen. I feel it is unstable to shoot a magic lantern with a DSLR controller. I wonder how you can shoot with a bigger screen like a smartphone, with the focus adjusted exactly.

Danne Thank you for your kindness and good luck.

Thank you.

I tried relaxed mode export. Here is screenshots.

case 1 is same. Nothing changed.

This is first frame of case 1.



This is second frame of case 1.


MlRawViewer 1.5.0 plays well.



case 2 is little better. It converted. but video and audio is separated.




MlRawViewer 1.5.0 plays well.



PS: I noticed a few moments ago, but the number of frames displayed by MlRawViewer is different from the one converted to a switch. If possible, I would like to know how to convert when converting from MlRawVeiwer to dng, which is able to import the latest version of DaVinci Resolves without problems.


I'm using DaVinci Resolve 15 beta 2 now.
Beta 3 and 4 has has trouble, green and magenta cast when import dngs.



Thank you.

Hello.

I am writing this in Google Translator because I am not good at English.

I think the switch is a great program. Thank you for your development.

I am using 5d mark3 and magiclantern-crop_rec_4k.2018Mar10.5D3113.

In the meanwhile, the monitor of 5d is small, and it is inconvenient to shoot. So I recently connected my smartphone to the camera and tried shooting with the DSLR Controler app. But there are various problems. An error often occurs during shooting, which makes stable shooting difficult. And there is also a problem with dng conversion.

After shooting today, I converted my mlv file to dng using the latest version of the switch. I reset the switch to default by using (R) first. Then, after selecting (ms), I ran (r). Some files were successfully converted, but some did not.


This is my mlv file.

case (1)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1G43xO-7ni3ynm997KmB_utRPoOb1-W9t
After converted to dng, with an oblique oblique line on the screen and strange colors.





case (2)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IuOQTsPbHdSBZDEFBp3b--rxaWrDKtQW
This file has only a small wav file (626bytes) in the folder after the conversion and no dng file at all.

Here in my log

I have played files with the above problem with MlRawViewer.app (1.5.0). Files play well in MlRawViewer.app.
I have converted the file to dng from MlRawViewer.app (1.5.0). I imported it from Da Vinci Resolv, and the screen looks clean. But the sound can not be played back. Import wav separately and place it on the timeline to hear the sound.

Today I took 35 mlv files and converted them into switches, of which there are 3 files with strange colors like case (1), and 9 files with no dng file like case (2).
I think it is caused by linking an app called DSLR Controler with 5d mark3, but I would like to use a smartphone to use focus picking and zebra on a bigger screen. Or I would prefer to see a larger magic lantern screen directly on my smartphone. Is there anyone who can suggest a good way I do not know?

Thank you for reading and I wish you all happy. Thank you.
