10.8.4
QT x
CS6 all the newest stuff
and I have Apple Compressor installed for the ProRes components.

Here's the weird thing.  The only file that worked (aka was recognized by quicktime) was one that I hit the cancel button part way thru the conversion.

the prores4444 files are created but can't be ready by Premiere or Quicktime,  anyone else having this issue?  Also I can't find out how to turn off the creation of the prores files to save space since they don't work.

Just wanted to report that over Memorial Day weekend we shot a feature film with a hacked 5D3 and the BMCC both shooting in raw.  We're just now starting to synch footage (over 3.5 hours of it from the 5d3).  A trailer to that project will be posted here soon but before that, another short is scheduled for production with a combination of 5D3, BMCC and the Sony FS-700 for slow motion.

I'm primarily a Sony guy shooting with the FS-700 and I often get to work with the Arri Alexa on big commercial shoots.  I haven't even considered filming projects for clients on DSLR until now because the quality just wasn't there and I felt like my pictures were stuck in a dead end of h.264.  With the raw module I've been able to comfortably shoot in the most contrasty of situations and in low light all while taking advantage of the 5d's compact size knowing that I had the extra room to push things around in post. Thanks to the developers for an amazing gift to the film world!

Thanks for all the hard work ML team! This is all super exciting. I'm going to donate again, you guys deserve it!

I just wanted to chime in with my experiences.

I've been using a 90MB/s San Disc Extreme Pro 32GB CF card and recording 1920x1080 without a problem. File sizes seem to be around 4.27 GB before it stops recording.

I've successfully converted and opened files under 2GB but I'm experiencing the same >2GB error messages in raw2dng on OSX Mountain Lion.

Happy to test any possible solutions.

Same issue here,  Also it appears I have to do the files one at a time and wait for my clock to advance to a new minute as that's how it's naming the files, based on the clock.  Ideas,  updated download?

Thanks, Z

The announcement about RAW recording on the 5dMK3 intrigued me so much that I finally picked one up.  I've been on the fence about the camera as I'm NOT a fan of the DSLR video look and frankly it's a tool I usually avoid.  However the idea of such improved image quality made it interesting once again.  After today's experience the RAW functionality will be useful for specific shots while the remainder of a project could be captured using the standard video function.

Here's the video with the side by side comparison's that are imho more than convincing, even with limitations this makes DSLR film making and footage gathering more interesting than ever.

IMAGES PROCESSED on a PC using raw2dng.exe
then IMPORTED on A MAC to CS6 After Effects
Edited in Premiere on a MAC - it's time consuming but the results are beautiful

CAMERA SETTINGS: Technicolor CineStyle was enabled for all shooting, everything else was default.
POST: the h.264's are untouched, the RAW files were processed minimally to ensure the highlights/shadows weren't clipping for maximum dynamic range.
