MLVFS - a FUSE based, "on the fly" MLV to CDNG converter

[EuAcelasi]

I`ve tried for days to install the MLVFS binary... nothing worked just because the mlvfs.exe file was x86, even in the link to x64 binary... Finally found on a russian site a mlvfs_64.exe... http://www.pr-video.com/i_mlvfs.html
it finally created the new virtual drive. The problem is that it called Removable Disk (Z) and acces denied from Explorer. I can see the drive in DaVinci, but it doesn`t show any file or directory... Anybody knows why???

[EuAcelasi]

Could anybody please point to a link with a mlvfs_64 binary... this one doesn`t work... http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=13152.msg188446#msg188446 it `stops working`...
Here http://www.pr-video.com/i_mlvfs.html I found a 64 version and it creates the drive, but I cannot acces it `unavailable`.... I see the drive in Resolve but nothing from the RAW folder...  The only positive thing is that I see it in http://localhost:8000/ Anybody please HELP!!!

EVRIKA!!! It works!!! with http://www.magiclantern.fm/modules/modules/mlvfs_optimized.zip/

Hello,
can you just point out - step by step - what you have done to get it working on Windows 10.?
I tried it for days and not working.

Thank you

[EuAcelasi]

Same for me... It seems that the mlvf.exe was not working... I finally found the right one for my system in the link above... mlvfs_optimized... mlvfs_x64.exe
Before downloading the MLVFS zip and running the exe file in Command Prompt I Installed the Visual Studio 2015, the WDK and SDK, then the latest Dokan 1.0.4 with all the .exe files...

Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but for some reason MLVS doesn't load my MLV files on the web-based GUI. It worked once, but I've since been unable to get any files to load.

Any idea?

Do the actual files still show in the Finder? Can you upload ~/.mlvfs.log?

Is it any improvement in Compressed RAW playback. It's pretty intensive task I can barely play the clip in resolve. I mostly convert to proxy and edit before going back to the raw.

Uncompressed has no problem at all. But I currently most shot compressed raw for disk space reason.

Hi,

still no way to use it with Windows 10?

Hi David, I wanted to ask this question long time ago

Why when 'Fullres Blending' is off in MLVFS dualiso settings, produced image almost pitch black? Is that some bug derived from a1ex's cr2hdr code?

Hello I am having an issue with Davinci Resolve 14 and MLVFS once adding in the MLV files that are 14bit lossless Davinci Resolve crashes after i have imported from the MLVFS mount drive, has anybody had the same experience?

DOKAN installed v. 1.0.3.1000

and this folder on drive C:

Do you have these files, especially html_template.html and jquery-1.12.0.min in your MLVFS folder ?

[papasapien]

yes i have just checked and i have those files in my folder

[GutterPump]

What is your operating system + what is your version of Dokan ?

[papasapien]

my operating system is windows 10
i am running dokan 1.0.3. 1000

.
i have also tried turning off windows firewall but that did not help.

[GutterPump]

I also use W10 and i use this version of Dokan and this version of MLVFS without any problems.

Hope this will help you.

[papasapien]

sadly it did not :/ . same results. thank you for trying though . I am getting a new hard drive in a couple days and will do a clean install of windows10 . so i will not waste anyones time trying to help me if this is a weird probably having to do with my system. i will come back in a couple days though if the problem is still occuring on my new set up. ( I still dont know what going on on this set up haha but I guess it might not matter soon anyways. )

[papasapien]

does anyone know how to exit the program? when i close cmd the virtual drive is still there . (also my new hard drive lets it works properly)
windows 10

[GutterPump]

Ctrl + shift + skip, check mlvfs.exe and stop the program.

Maybe there is best solution than this one.

Here is my old post describing how to correctly unmount the mlvfs virtual drive under windows. Path to 'dokanctl.exe' depends on which version of dokany you use.

Another way is to run mlvfs in foreground with '-f' switch (ironically mlvfs help does not show this switch under windows but it is there and works) and when you close the console mlvfs goes down and dokany mounted drive unmounts.

The command is:

Code Select Expand

mlvfs -f Z: --mlv-dir=\mlvdir

A way that I found is: after closed the cmd window, re-open it again and use the same command and path.
This works for me, it unmounts the virtual drive. I'm on Win 7, don't know on other OS...

For me the -f method suggested by @bouncyball doesn't work... but the previous method he suggested yes it works!

SO YOU CAN USE THIS:

Code Select Expand

@ECHO MLVFS - DRIVE UNMOUNTER
@ECHO OFF
C:
cd C:\Program Files\Dokan\Dokan Library-1.1.0\
pause
dokanctl.exe /u M

Paste it in a notepad, modify it if needed (with correct drive and path where dokanctl.exe is, and assigned virtual drive letter, M in my case) and save it as anyname.bat

Double click on it, hit any key to confirm

Hi everybody!

Is there a way to "tell" MLVFS to fix black levels at 2048? As the option --black-fix=2048 on MLV_DUMP does?

[bouncyball]

AFAIK, nope

[papasapien]

hey is there no way to fix focus pixels in MLVFS?
