I used 3x different KomputerBay CF cards 128GB 1000x cards and also tested problem with 3x different 64GB 1000x cards. Nearly every clip would only convert up to around 45-55 seconds and spit out 1-4 frames at the end of clip.

Is there something wrong with my CF cards?

(I"ll post this in its proper place - just wanted to introduce myself and explain why I'm here)

Been using ML since 2015 and shot an 80 min feature with ML + Canon 5D3. Have had great success and results!!! Haven't changed build since shooting feature film - since it worked without any problems.

Until now... I'm getting Unknown Block errors after 1 day shoot using same build, CF cards and settings on Canon 5D3. Tried transferring files from CF card to 3x different USB 3.0 HD and 1x SSD via 2x different USB 3.0 ports, but no change in errors.

I hope I can salvage the 30% remaining unconverted footage.

Regardless, I'd like to THANK THE MAGIC LANTERN WIZARDS for existing for all of us independent filmmakers!!!
