Hey guys, I have a bricked CF card that needs help :/

Canon 5dmkii with v2.1.2 firmware
Komputerbay 32GB 1050x UMDA 7 (brand new with v2.3 + RAW_REC (Sept 10th) loaded after I formatted the fresh card with the 5dmkii)

Ran the ML 1GB (5mins) benchmark test straight away.
Camera runs test and then displays 'Card not formatted, format card with this camera.' and won't format ('Cannot format card. Change card.')

Card is discoverable on both Mac and PC but files on card can't be opened/deleted and card can't be formatted
Card contains nothing else except the ML firmware I loaded and the 1GB temp file from the benchmark test and a ~1.TRA file in the root directory
Card read speeds are drastically slower (1-3mins) on simple functions such as opening card/opening a folder in the card/opening permissions properties/loading format command

Essentially the brand new card is a brick. Any help?

Hey guys, new to the forum but I've been using ML+raw_rec for the production of a short I'm working on.

I'm having some problems with importing CinemaDNGs from RAWmagic/raw2dng/SonOfBatch to resolve for initial CC/LUT/meta work. On import I'm getting nasty hot pink artifacting in high contrast areas (not exclusively in the brights or darks) and I can't seem to find a workaround or fix that doesn't involve the slow/destructive RAW>DNG>ACR>TIFF>PRORES workflow. Can anyone help me out?

You can see it on the inside edges of the cardboard and especially in the water of the dam shot and all over it's brickwork/emergency release valve too :/





The workflow I'm trying to achieve, excluding audio/vfx (and which works beautifully except for this bug), is as follows:

>SonOfBatch (batch convert .RAWs to .DNG sequences, no proxies (resolve will handle that) and backup .RAWs to external HDD )
- output cDNG

>>Davinci Resolve 9 Lite (import DNGs: BMD Film log, Hunter's LUT, Initial CC and meta application)
- render ProRes 422 Proxy for editing sequences in Pr CS6
- keep Resolve project for final grade of DNGs and merge with Pr sequence XML.

>>>Premier Pro CS6 (initial editing with proxies from Resolve)
-export sequence XML

>>>>Davinci Resolve 9 Lite (final grading of masters and replacement of proxy files in XML sequence with finished masters)
-export ProRes 422 (HQ)

>>>>>>Premier Pro CS6 (final edit, titles etc)
-export final full res and 1/4 res ProRes422 (HQ)

Id really like to avoid prores for the initial stages of post (only using it once the initial CC/LUTs/crop/meta have been applied- as 422proxy for editing and as 444 later as a final graded master to swap with the proxies). I don't get any of these artifacts if I use SOB/raw2dng/QT7/Ae to output prores straight from the initial conversion but then I lose my raw handling in Resolve

Any help would be seriously appreciated, would help save my degree
