Honestly a lot of the stickies are outdated.

Hey,


I run this program in win 8.1 through Parallells 9 and I keep running into this error: "the given path's format is not supported", any ideas for what I can do to fix it?

Edit: Updated to 1.9, I get errors still, but it looks like it's working

For me it seems like it's about half of the .DNGs that gets processed correctly, and the other half is corrupted. ACR can't open them, bridge or finder won't create a thumbnail.

Where can I find a mlv2dng that has audio extraction? Hopefully for os x

Where can I download the mlv browser? Can't seem to find it.

Sound recording! Yes!

I tested 30 seconds with 48k + 23,976fps + 1920x1080p, perfect sync so far   

It was quite a struggle getting the .mlv files to work on a mac, but thanks to Danne's post I got it working.

Does anybody have a program or developing such as rawmagic with support for mlv?

Hey,

I was wondering if it'd be possible get a better in camera playback module which is realtime and in colors?

Yeah, running dual system is of course a good solution, but it is less ideal for us (very) guerrilla filmmakers needs to have minimal gear.
Often when I film people while travelling they freeze up because of the size of my camera and sometimes results in awkward looking shots.
And I didn't even have that much, running a 5DM3 + 24-105, small handheld rig, shotgun mic, pre-amp.
I would love to try out a bare minimum gear set, with a z-finder + videomic pro. But it kind of depends on having in-camera audio.

I can't code, but I'd be very willing to test with my 5DM3!

What's the news on audio implementation? 
Haven't seen any comments about it for a while

@Sky

Do you mean like a proxy?
Why would you want to make a ProRes proxy?

And if you're thinking of it as a main conversion, doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of shooting RAW as you cannot access any of the data without programs such as ACR or Resolve?

Awesome!
Can't wait to try it out when I get home 

Any work being done on the new .MLV format? 

Is there anything I can do to help the progress of this development? 

Audio support will be included in g3gg0's new .MLV format 

Why is Alex not involved in this thread btw?

It would make sense to involve him, doesn't it?

Does anybody know if somebody is making a os x app?
or updating RAWMagic for MLVs?

How about making a benchmark test that checks the different methods and logs it?

In a similar fashion A1ex made when RAW video first came out.
A bunch of people can do the tests and you could merge the data into one to compare the differences.

Tried to get the mlv_dump for windows through parallels 8, but I couldn't get it working.
Has somebody been more successful than me?

Sounds like what you're talking about is regular HDR.

My camera did not feel warmer than usual, which is not hot at all.

raw2dng, son of batch, rawmagic.. take your pick

Yes! So excited!

[720p no problem]

I'm not a 50D user, but I'll try to answer what I know.

2 - I'm using a 60 Mb/s Sandisk Extreme CF card and I can do 720p no problem, you only need 37 Mb/s for that. I gave you the rate, you do the math on how many minutes you can stash on a 16 Gb card.

3 - You should definitely not use your laptop, any laptop has a terrible mic. It's not even going to be worth your time.
Look into Rode SmartLav for a great low cost lav mic, hook it up to your iPhone or smartphone and you're good to go.
VideoMic (Pro preferably if you can afford it) is another great, low-cost, decent quality alternative.

But you're probably going dual system anyway, so why not just go for a Zoom H4n and be done with it.
You should try to be more specific, I can't really tell if you need a shotgun mic or a lav mic or just an ambient mic.
Either way starting with a Zoom H4n is a good start.
It's a recorder and a microphone in one.


All that said, is it really worth it moving to a 50D over a 550D?
It sounds like you could be just as well of with the 550D, which is a solid camera might I add.
Devinsupertramp used it for a long time and he produced high quality stuff.

There are tons before you who have requested the 5 sec audio feature.
Maybe search a little before asking for something that's already asked for.

Audio support will be present in g33g0's new .MLV format.
There's a thread in General development discussion.

Don't worry, it's coming.
