Please try this build: https://bitbucket.org/mindogas/422toimage/downloads/422ToImage%201.9.2.zip
Added 6D HiRes compatibility. Still picture are not alligned becouse of ML (OnePercent mentioned something about it). Also i do not know what are the files "silent simple 2x1.422", "silent simple 2x2.422" and "silent simple always on.422". Thows are not working..

This hires pircure is 2x2 or 1x2? Strange things that frames are duplicating twice.

OnePercent or anyone: is it possible that hires frames in 6D are 1104x736 instead of 1024x680?

Resolution determination option aren't suit to determinate Hi-Res window size. For all cameras this size is 1024 * 680. Maybe 6D have any diference?

 Everyone who is using 422ToImage please update to 1.9.1 version. There was made some corrections regarding .YUV files ordering, decoding then in threads simultaneously, fixed HDR processing for single shoots and some other little fixes.

Please update 422ToImage to 1.9.1 version. There was made some corrections regarding .YUV files ordering, decoding then in threads simultaneously, fixed HDR processing and some other little fixes.

Is it really a bad answer? I rename the .422 files to .yuv, import into avisynth, rescale chroma as the source yuv is JFIF chroma over full 8bit range and encode to h264 without creating any intermediate image sequences at all. :-)

We already know images sizes for .422 and can specify them in Avisynth so no big deal.

Its raw 8bit yuv, whether we call it image or video, whether we name it .422 or yuv.

Its down to how the host application handles it?

Your post should start from last line i think. The thing is that question was about 422toimage software and for it the answer is clear - renaming files extension messing things up.

Hello! Change your file extension from YUV to 422 and use the same program.

Bad answer. *.YUV extension is for YUV422 videos and *.422 for still pictures. *.YUV files contains some extra information about its frames so  this extra data is like trash for .422 conversion. converting *.YUV files is quite easy but you must know that this is experimental feature. ML and 422ToImage sources changes everyday so you should use the last versions then you experimenting with YUV videos.

Can you add containerizing for the raw DNG sequences from Lv_rec... as just a data dump they don't play back and lv_rec would slow down adding the containers.

If RAW buffers storing in card will be implemented and I will see possibilities for this function inside 422ToImage i will definitely go with it. I implemented  .yuv spitting feature after g3gg0 asked me to do so. This feature is very similar to Silence Pic's conversation.  I'm not well aware of ongoing work in the field of RAW video so for me it's had to plan anything.

Is this app able to process *.yuv files?

Yes if you recorded movie using latest code, were the end of *.YUV has extra 32 bytes defining frames properties. Updated 422ToImage v1.9 you could find here: https://bitbucket.org/mindogas/422toimage/downloads

Hi, and thanks for such a great work, but is any hope for MAC users, i mean native application for mac?

No chances from my side.  Generally I'm programming only applications for Windows OS and Atmel's and I have no spare time to learn MAC stuff
I suggest to try run my software on mac over CrossOver or WineBottler. If you lucky maybe performance won't be decreased so much.

Nope, i was talking about the previous one. I'll move to 1.7 in a second

As i sad this update is for unknown YUV resolutions. This won't for resolving 50D ML bugs.

Thanks, i got that resolution.xml error the first time i used your converter but i don't get it anymore.
Let me know when you manage to solve the issue with HR silent pics.
Thanks again.

Weird question: are you playing with this beta build: https://bitbucket.org/mindogas/422toimage/downloads/1.7beta.zip?
Also: HR silent pics troubles for 50D are not converter problem but ML.

I still don't understand, i can convert 422 files from my 50D easily (burst or continuous and simple SP) and i can't get HR or SP while recording to be converted. So, what is this for? Am i missing something? Aren't the resolution of all these files known?

While resolution.xml is empty you shouldn't be able to convert SimplePictures in continues, burst or other modes. For thous files you should be asked to setup custom resolution. This tool is for future cameras then new resolutions will came. Regarding Hirez there is one bug now. I'll fix it later.

Is this for high-res pictures as well? I might submit my findings from my 50D.

No, this is only for simple and zoomed silence pictures. For now HiRez images have the same resolution for all cameras if this option is possible.

Some help needed for testing new feature - tool for finding unknown image resolution.

This tool will appear you pressing start button and program finds out that image have weird size. Some screenshots:

The list of resolutions depends from size of the image. If you find correct option by pressing Save button resolutions.xml will be updated and conversions starts with new setup.

Please anyone try this at home: https://bitbucket.org/mindogas/422toimage/downloads/1.7beta.zip (left resolutions.xml blank for this reason)

Found another small issue. Misspelling in dialog that appears when the user has selected check box to delete original 422 files and then hits Start button.

original is misspelled as orgilan.

Your software makes using 422 files very easy. Nice job.

OK, my English is a little bit worst i think
Fixed. Thanks.

You may also want to sync with this: https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/changeset/5dd16c4e08fc

Thanks for pointing. Actually I'm tracking changes in ML source, so I would found thous changes too.
For now I fixed 1x resolution and added photo mode to resolution.xml file but i will publish it with next bigger software version update. While 5D3 port are not stable i thing were is no hurry to do update right now.

Mindogas,
Thanks for your development efforts on this app.

In the readme file you have a link to enblend/enfuse that does not work. I used the URL below to get to the software.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/enblend/files/latest/download

Thanks for pointing this mistake. Fixing right now.

[Software:]

For learning timelapse and testing purpose Silence Pic is unbeatable feature. I'm using it for testing motorized timelapse slider and it's motor/camera controller. I'm doing lots off shoots while testing and without this function my camera would be in the middle/end of it's shutter resource. Problem we are facing - slow image conversation from *.422 files to well known formats. For example in  Intel Xeon E5606 2,13GHz, 4 Core and 6GB RAM workstation original ML program converted only 1.6 frames per second.

Software:
Idea was to make fast and useful software for this job. After same work with I finished with it. Programming was done with C# language in Visual Studio 2010 environment.

Compare:
In mentioned Intel Xeon E5606 workstation this software doing 35 frames per second performance. To compare speed I made few videos in my home PC (using V1.0 version).
422-jpg-v2.exe processing 100 pictures in 1024x680:

My software processing same files:

And one more time my software doing 999 pictures:

At the end this software looks promising. Now to convert lots of files we do not need to wait long time. Event with one core CPU this program doing it's job faster because software constructing new image using Fast Bitmap methodology. After some works in spare time software now have HDR image generation, resize, rotate, crop options. Nowaday we are facing v1.6 version but with help with users developing continues.

422ToImage 1.9 features:

• Multi-core utilization;
• CPU priority setup option;
• Managing photos list;
• Image preview;
• JPEG (with quality choice), PNG and BMP output formats;
• Supports all ML Simple mode and HiRes resolutions. Extra resolutions could be added manualy to resolutions.xml file;
• Images rotate option;
• Image crop option;
• Image resize with aspect ratio option;
• HDR image generating option with all Enfuse options;
• Input image delete after conversation option;
• Keep original images date to output option;
• Bath rename option;
• Unknown resolution revealing tool;
• (Expermental) YUV422 RAW movie converting to images;

Download:
Windows binaries could be downloaded here: https://bitbucket.org/mindogas/422toimage/downloads
Visual Studio 2010 source code: https://bitbucket.org/mindogas/422toimage/src

I think someone will find this software usable. I'm looking forward to continue developing and upgrading this software so all suggestion and bug reports are welcome.
