What's the status on this? Would the potentially released RAM could be used to shoot longer RAW recordings?

Oh sorry, I didn't read your first post carefully enough. EFC is a gui for ffmbc and ffmbc can't open dng files, therefore dng must be converted first to tiff files in order to open then in EFC(like when importing RAW files).

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ffmbc-dev/DFQN9xrtFds

Try redownloading efc. I believe Ive fixed that.

[Ok]

Ok > but is there a way to modify the program just to create the files with source name (as it does now) but just stop there and not create the TIFFs wich I dont need cause I use Resolve turnaround with Sony Vegas Pro 12.

The main purpose of the RAW import in EFC is to output as video and in order to do this the conversion to tiff is a necessary step. Ffmbc which does the conversion can't import dng.

Second questions :
1) When I use EFC, the TIFFs are bad quality (blurry, and to bright compare to the TIFF I can automtically create in ACR)

On changing the dcraw settings: http://eyeframeconverter.wordpress.com/2013/06/04/eyeframe-converter-1-7-9-with-improved-magic-lantern-raw-import-is-out/

A reel name tag could be useful(with a default setting as date(max. 8 characters - for EDL files)). Time code would be the same as time stamp right?

For inspiration, the various metadata MediaInfo can extract, can be found in CSV files here:
http://mediaarea.net/download/binary/libmediainfo0/0.7.64/MediaInfo_DLL_0.7.64_Windows_i386_WithoutInstaller.7z
In MediaInfo_DLL_0.7.64_Windows_i386_WithoutInstaller.7z\Developers\List_Of_Parameters\

It is perfect. Don't waste money in a 95 Mb/s

Could you be a bit more speciffic? How many more frames at what resolution compared to what?

Drag and drop a raw file onto it and it will create the dng files in the same folder.

As we say in danish: the first place you'll go blind is the eyes   

What about prefix in embedded reel names?

Maybe a prefix for filenames or embedded reelnameprefix in mov files?

Have you tried this:

If you only need dng then drag and drop your raw files on to raw2dng.exe found here at the forum.

First time I ran the 1.1.9 version on Win 8 d'n d didn't work. Second time it did work.

Never mind the patch above. Now I've uploaded a new EFC 1.8.0 with merging of spanned files.
So get from the link at my signature.

Have fun,
Tin2tin

I've tried to add the +4gb file merge function, but I don't have any files to test with.

To test install the EFC setup.
Download this patch: http://download.videohelp.com/tin2tin/EyeFrame.exe
And replace it with the existing in the Programs(x86)/EyeFrame Converter folder.

I think I've solved that string parsing error. So try to re-download EFC now and check if it works for you. It's still called 1.8.0.

Your source file name is somehow converted into image sequence string naming:

Try to rename your raw file to something without all the numbers(will look into the string parsing later).

There is no merge of spanned files yet.

Could you post menu: view > log?

EFC doesn't need Lightworks installed.
It sounds like ffmbc is not running correctly. Can you import and convert other video formats? When did you download Efc? (Did a fix two days ago) .
After an unsuccesful import open the menu view log and copy paste the contents here.

Efc does the raw to dng to tiff conversion on import. Ffmbc cant open raw or dng. The conversion to a video format is done after the click of the convert button.

A HOW TO:
- Drag and drop RAW files into the gui.
- The conversion to dng and tiff will start automatically.
- Preview by double left click thumbnail.
- Hit convert.
- Select the video format (+ proxies if needed).
- Okay and the batch conversion will start.

Btw. Time code and reel name can be edited by right click in coloum. The dcraw settings can be found and edited in "Documents/EyeFrame Data/dcraw.ini"
(No merge of spanned files yet)

For Windows there is also http://eyeframe.tk

How to:
- Drag and drop RAW files into the gui.
- Spanned files will be merged automatically.
- The conversion to dng first and then to tiff will run automatically.
- The imported clips will show up in the list.
- Preview video by double left click thumbnail.
- Hit convert.
- Select the video format you want(+ proxies if needed).
- Click 'okay' and the batch conversion will start.

Btw.:
- Time code and reel name can be edited by right click in colum.
- The dcraw settings(dng>tiff) can be found and edited in "Documents/EyeFrame Data/dcraw.ini"

Do you mean the the latest version of EFC is working better? If not you can exchange the raw2dng file in the EyeFrame Converter folder.
(Sorry for the thread jack)

If you downloaded EFC within the least few days the latest raw2dng is included in EyeFrame.

Reuploaded 1.8.0 with latest raw2dng, dpx img seq in & out.

Btw.if a wav file with the same name as img seq is located in the same folder as the tif seq,  it will be added automatically.

@chmee Great to see you're still going strong! I haven't got resolve on this computer, so I can't test atm. Let's hope the mediainfo guys will add info subraction of cdng files.
