Hi Tony,

Trying 1.8.2.

Got an error "mlv2dng.exe has stopped working"

I also got this error.

Thanks for the heads up Mario. I will do a sweep of the stripes fix to find the mix up.

Gary, the latest build was actually made on a windows 7 64 bit system. Could you give me any specifics on the files you are converting and the version of magic lantern you're running?

I have the M camera, I use the latest TL nightly builds, so I have Feb11th when I tried it. I shoot MLV movies , 1280x720 16x9 24fps crop mode. No audio can be used on the M as of this time.

raw2dng_cs2x2_ahdlike.exe is the latest version.

Page 13 has the other versions as well.

I wish this worked for MLV files since we are moving in that direction instead of raw. I only see a way of either trying to still shoot just raw (not mlv) or a two step with converting mlv to raw and mores steps is not something anyone wants to do. Unless I am missing something here and someone can explain it to me.

I could not get this app to do anything on my windows 7 u4 bit system. It would always hang/freeze and not respond after selecting files and then Convert.

@ gary2013 : I use the program Shotcut ( http://www.shotcut.org/ ) for transcode/encode. I use on Mavericks and Windows 7.
In fact it can edit also, but still on the development. In most case many people use Premiere or Final Cut Pro, etc, but for someone need very simple cut/editing and free, this program is very good. It have many basic effect which often need : grading, gain for saturation, white balance, stabilization, etc. You can put inside H264, AVCHD and many other format and encode to ProRes, Avid DNxHD, MPEG Intra-Frame, etc. I use it to transcode  AVCHD files from Sony and H264 from Canon to ProRes with colour correction in Shotcut, and then edit on FinalCutPro, mixed other material ProRes from Ninja, some cleaning with Neat Video, it's work nice.

@ Tony : Can we put other LUT files on the folder Luts ? Is the format will be only .curve or .cube will be on the future ?
Thank you very much for this apps  ,  it's going faster and faster now 

Thanx Pilgrim. I looked everywhere inside this app, Shortcut. I do not see any option to convert/encode to ProRes anywhere or a Quicktime mov option.

Check 5DtoRGB tool

Thanx Rush. I am on windows 7 and that apps looks like Mac only.

I always use TEncoder.. it's nice interface.. let's you import a tree of folders and converts it straight away.. you have a bunch of codecs available.. though it is very slow to add the files, but then you're good to go..

Tony, thanx, but I did not see anything inside of Tencoder that has convert my H.264 files to ProRes?? I did want to say that this app wins the prize for having the most amount of xtra apps we don't want while trying to sneak them in on an installation. I think there were seven extra apps. After all the Declines I made, at the end it did nothing for thirty seconds and then it finally installed Tencoder. What's the world coming to? I like the old days of getting one app I want and it installs. :-) BTW, none of this is meant to be against you, Tony, just the people who make the app for download.

I am just looking for a simple batch convert app with a UI on a win 7 64 bit PC system to make my H.264 movie files to ProRes (all versions if possible of ProRes). I use PPro CC to edit and I see no ProRes ability to convert to.

Tony, now that I have convert to prores working in your app, can you make it also accept h.264 movie files on import (drag n Drop, too ?) to to convert to prores? or, a new second app that does it? I don't have any programming skills, so a nice UI to convert all my H.264 movies to prores (all the different versions to choose from) would be nice to have.

Jeez... what does it say?? Must have been very stupid yesterday.. I use them for testing..

I don't remember exactly. I think it was just saying it finished converting mlv and wanted to confirm to continue which it did after I clicked on the button saying OK. The green progress bar was also paused at that point. also, as I said, it was buried under other open windows. i will try and see the exact wording on the pop up next time i get to testing. can you make any pop up always be on top? that would help, too.

Tony, I just updated to your latest and [am getting proxies now. I am also not getting some pop up windows waiting for my OK when doing more than one file. I sit here wondering why it is taking so long and I then find one of your pop up windows buried underneath my open winnows waiting for me to click OK, meanwhile holding up progress.

Ok thank you, so there's the problem!

Do you use the mlv metadata? Text and take?
Are you shooting with sound?

who are you talking to?

For the people who aren't getting proxies:

While the program is running, do you see the tiffs appearing in the same folder as the DNGs? (the tiffs are the intermediate files that are generated after the dngs but before the proxies and then are automatically deleted)

The program tells you what it is doing while it is doing it. What is the program doing right before it finishes?

Does it finish with the normal pop up message saying it is done?

The more detail you give about what is happening, the easier it will be to figure out what is wrong.

i still do not get proxies. i do not see tiffs and it does say it is done. i only get dngs.

My god that sucks... I wonder whats going on with ffmpeg.. did you move any files inside the program folder? There's no apparent reason why it shouldnt be working :S, it just skips the process?? No error? No nothing?

when i ran ur  app for the first time i get two pop ups asking me to show it where the adobe dng exe is and also the mlrawviewer.exe  I do for both and then the apps runs. i set up maybe 3 raw files and the proxies and start the convert. when it is done, the proxy folder is empty. i set it to the correct folder before converting. i tried 444 and a second time with HQ. neither of them worked.

Are you SURE? Checked the folder you selected? Has at least one setting? Can you tell us a bit more? :S OS version? It should work well really...

I am also not getting any proxies in the folder I made and specified. I have tried diff types, 444, HQ...  I use Windows 7 with all the updates and latest drivers.

Wow! Never seen a screen so small.. but it's weird.. I have the same resolution as you!! 1366x768 I quote... so why the program is different sizes for both of us??? :S Will see if I can ass a shrink resize or something.. truth is if I shrink the UI in height everything will be too together and I will have to remove those "boxes" that say the title of the contents.. and I need them. The UI will become less intuitive visually I think.. AND, for example now I wanted to add more height, for an individual progressbar, and a system statusbar.. I guess I will have to trade with something.. will see. As I said, will ad a resize shrink to ALL function if i can!

Cheers!

my screen is not small, it is 42". The problem is probably from me having a TV/Monitor and the overscan is causing me to use the graphic display menu to resize the aspect ratio so all of the Windows display is seen and not cut off. As we discussed in PM, consider making your UI a small amount shorter, but also wider since we have 16x9 displays. You can then add a lot more things to the UI being a wider view with three columns instead of two.

Where can I find Tragic Lantern EOS-m2?
Or not yet?

http://tl.bot-fly.com/

Does TL for the EOS-M offer control of GOP, slice and bit rate, as TL1 does for the 600D?

you can find submenus by tapping the screen once on the main menu item. You go to the Movie settings and at the top it says CBR 1x. Tap on that once and then the submenus show and all the settings are there.

Really?! The window is bigger than your screen? :S I have the same resolution than you.. been measuring it with that.. do you have a bigger windows taskbar maybe? Mind to send me a screenshot?

Thanks!

tony, here is a pic of the problem you asked for.

Hi there,
I'm looking forward to install Tragic Lantern on my EOS M.
Do i need to first install the ML firmware for this or can I install TL right away? I didn't find any TL install instructions so I assume the procedure is the same as ML.
Thanks!

welcome to the forum. you do need to run the firmware if it is the first time for TL or ML. You can find good info on how to do things at Max's EOS-M Shooters Guide.

I think the app size is just about how most app windows are. In fact its about the same size as the older Rawanizer and g3gg0's MLV browsersharp.
Layout and font sizes are just right. The change is font colors is now right in this version.
If you adjust the dimensions, just keep the font sizes as they are.

i don't really have problems with other apps. there is a lot of space to make it a little shorter in height and keep the text. And, it won't cause any problems for other people.

Really?! The window is bigger than your screen? :S I have the same resolution than you.. been measuring it with that.. do you have a bigger windows taskbar maybe? Mind to send me a screenshot?

Thanks!

yes, really. I have a 42" lcd TV/Monitor that I use. The native resolution is 1360x768. If I go to 1080p, the text is too small to read then and the images are just blown up to fit. I also have to use my graphics app to set the custom aspect so the whole windows screen fits the view.  If I do not, the taskbar and desktop items are off screen. your app barely fits and it falls behind my taskbar at the bottom. You have a lot of extra space in your UI like I suggested. I think it shouldn't be hard to make it smaller and it shouldn't cause any harm or crowd anything there.
Thanx,
Gary

Tony,

I Just dl'ed it again, still gives invalid error message when its output folder is same as source.

i also see the same error.

Tony, I have your latest version and thank you for all your work.
Can you size the window so it is shorter vertically? Just tighten up evrything with all the spaces that are now there. Like between Output MLVs and File Naming. Between that and the next DNG compression section. The buttons below the window for file selections can also be made shorter. There is extra space below the text. I like the current size of your text which makes it easy for my old eyes to read. And so on withe everything. Then the whole UI display it can probably fit my monitor display which is 1360 x 768. Right now your window hides at the bottom below my taskbar and I cannot see any of the important bottom row. Maybe make your display user sizable? I have to use my monitor at its native display.

also, it can use a Deselect all function for file selection. Maybe make the Select button toggle that.

Thank you. 

Also with the 11-22 EFM lens. Got it three times in a row, even after removing battery - maybe should have left battery out for longer?

pulling the battery has nothing to do with it.
