I recently finished shooting a short film with a 5d mark iii only to realize all shots (around 30) that ran until the camera stops, or to 3.99 gbs were unable to convert to cdng. At the time we filmed this, I didn't realize shooting in exFat would take care of the stoppage problem. Raw2Cdng, which I'm running through a windows OS, recognized the frame rate as an outrageously large number and would quit working every time I tried to convert it. I then grabbed a .R00 file from a previous shoot in which used a mark ii and attached it to the .RAW file and sure enough Raw2Cdng recognized it as a 23.976 frame rate. I was then able to convert them and thought I solved my problem. Turns out the all of the frames were crazy pink dngs. Using hexfiend and realizing that our hex code was 2 digits short as "pedrosuarez" had mentioned, we tried the workflow suggested, by calculating a footer and inserting it into hex fiend.

We calculated the footer for only the 3.99 gb RAW file. 3.99 * 1024 = 4,085.76/2.82 mb frames = 1,448.85106 or 1,449. After putting it into the demical to hex converter we were given 5a9 or 09 5A in place of XX XX.

Using the code suggested by "pedrosuarez" we used this as our footer:

52 41 57 4D 80 07 38 04 00 60 37 00 09 5A  00 00 01 00 00 00 A8 5D 00 00 48 48 04 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 20 15 0B 26 05 00 00 20 08 00 00 38 0E 00 00 50 34 49 00 0E 00 00 00 FF 07 00 00 98 3A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 88 07 00 00 08 05 00 00 1E 00 00 00 92 00 00 00 26 05 00 00 1A 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 01 02 01 00 00 00 42 1A 00 00 10 27 00 00 85 FD FF FF 10 27 00 00 3D FC FF FF 10 27 00 00 41 EF FF FF 10 27 00 00 AC 30 00 00 10 27 00 00 EC 07 00 00 10 27 00 00 74 FC FF FF 10 27 00 00 72 08 00 00 10 27 00 00 24 16 00 00 10 27 00 00 EB 03 00 00

Raw2Cdng recognized the file now as the correct frame rate and converted it without having to attach a .R00 file as we did previously. Raw2Cdng said that it was around 27,000 frames, which obviously wasn't right, but since we noticed ifleeter had this problem we were just going to cut it off around the correct frame amount as he did.

Our problem, is the files still remained pink and fuzzy. Some frames were a little more decipherable than they were previously, but not where they needed to be.

This makes me think I am on the right track, but somewhere I went wrong in the conversion or calculating process.

I was hoping someone could shed light on my problem or suggest any solutions. I could also share the 3.99 gb with you via google drive if that would make things easier. I know nothing of code and have tried figuring it out thru forums and my own skills, but have consistently failed.

Anything would be greatly appreciated.
