Let me introduce my own little software available today for the community... 
http://mlvtomov.eliotis.com
Specifications:
- Native Mac OS X application written in Objective-C.
- Queue management to process as many files as you want..
- MLV files can be added to the queue from different directories.
- Movie files are build in the same directory as their original MLV files.
- DNG extraction with MLV_Dump.
- RGB conversion with DCRaw (parallelized for better performances).
- Movie conversion with FFmpeg.
- Dark and flat calibration with automatic averaging of MLV files.
- Lossless export AVI (codec rawvideo; yuv420p) and MOV (codec h264; qp=1; yuv420p).
- Preview export AVI (codec mpeg4; qscale=1; yuv420p) and MOV (h264; qp=17; yuv420p).
- Sound export if available (PCM S16 LE for AVI file; AAC for MOV file).
- Prevent computer sleep when working.
NB: MOV quality is not perfectly lossless (qp parameter should be set to 0 and not 1) to be readable by Quicktime player.
Software requirements:
- Mac OS 10.9 or higher.
- 64 bit processor (Intel Core 2 Duo or higher).
My first goal was to produce AVI lossless videos to process astronomical images with Registax, AutoStackkert, or AviStack. RAW videos and 3x crop allow to produce very nice high resolution images with telescopes and Canon cameras...

I'm not a video master at all but if you like MLVToMovie and need some improvements (according to MLV_Dump, DCRaw and FFmpeg capabilities) let me know. I'll do my best to help the community.
Wish it helps,
Sebastien.
