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

[hjfilmspeed]

Whoa!!! Is there anyway to test this on windows!

Plus I show how to install MLVFS for windows including register the MLV formatter .dll

Or try running OS X with standard PC hardware. AKA Hackintosh. 2 machines running here.

[Licaon_Kter]

Or you can get a Linux VM (try a lighter one like Lubuntu) started in VirtualBox, extract the DNGs with MLVFS and put them in the shared folder.

Great progress !
The example from dmilligan looks super clean !

hello!

i have a problem with the new version of mlvfs.. when i try to mount a dir with mlv files, i select the mountpoint (same hdd as ever) and then the files start to load (the dir is without idx files) then suddenly the mlvfs mounting points disappear suddenly? is my system broken?
thx

[dmilligan]

logs? example files that cause the problem? any sort of clues at all you can give me?

@baldavenger,
I think those artifacts are due to a bug on my part, not a result of a1ex's algorithm. I think I fixed it, will compile a new build soon. Working on some optimizations to make it faster.

I don't know if this helps to Devs and research: in the open source soft called HandBreak, in settings, are a couple of new function about Noise Reduction and works very well, results very similar as the noise reduction from Davinci Resolve Studio.

You mean for NR to be implemented into MLVFS, @budafilms?

[MortenSJ]

Quick question. Am i supposed to go into the mounted folder/drive and copy the MLV folders to another folder?

I get the mounted drive and when i click it, i see my folders, but i'm not really sure what to do after that?

[Licaon_Kter]

You do what you want, you can copy the DNG files somewhere else and use those (keep MLV or not), or use them straight from that folder (realtime decoding FTW!).

Hi All,

Thanks for the great work you are all doing. I use MagicLantern for a long time. But I am new to Raw ML video. I use Debian and try to install mlvfs,
but get this error message:
Main point can not  find fuse.h and
hdiutil

Code: [Select]

main.c:33:18: fatal error: fuse.h: No such file or directory
 #include <fuse.h>
                  ^

I looked around to find the hdiutil package, couldnt find it myself.

thanks in advance,
Greetings Arthur

No you don't run the .SH, is for Mac (I guess), anyway, after a successful compile, put mlvfs in /usr/local/bin/ and that's it

[dmilligan]

Code: [Select]

apt-get install libfuse-devOr something like that.

The build_installer.sh is only for Mac. It creates a Automator workflow and Mac dmg using a Mac utility called hdiutil.

To "install" MLVFS on Linux, just 'make' and then copy the executable somewhere on your path.

Milligan and Licaon,
Thanks a lot. It works like a charm.
Have to start using it now. The video is playing in the localhost:8000

I've installed the files pfm-178-win-exe and mlvf.dll and put them in one and the same folder. From the thread I learned that the v.1.7.8 is more stable for my win 7.

Might be a stupid question, but how exactly do I carry out the following step:

Then register the MLV formatter DLL:
Code: [Select]
pfm register mlvfs.dll
Unlike the FUSE approach on the other platforms, you mount each MLV file individually: right-click on an MLV file and select "Quick Mount".
If you wish, you can build the MLV formatter DLL yourself by installing the Windows SDK and running nmake using the SDK command prompt in the mlvfs/win directory.

Read this post , should help New PC Tools to replace ACR & A.E. with same or better results (Without Resolve)

FYI , I use pfm-171-win-exe on my Win7 pro Laptop & Desktop Workstation works just fine.
If you have your MLV files on a SSD then mount it , it will work a lot better then off the memory card .

[ibrahim]

Thanks.
I have installed pfm-178-win-exe and followed the first part of the video tutorial (installed the DNG codec and registered the dll).

When I mount the .MLV RAW footage the DNGs are exported into c drive > volume. However, I still see horizontal lines (dual ISO); it hasn't been processed. What's the missing step?

[dmilligan]

Windows version is way behind and does not support dual ISO conversion.

Virtualbox -> Lubuntu -> MLVFS -> Shared folder -> better?

[ibrahim]

Is this the workflow to handle dual iso in windows or in linux?

[Licaon_Kter]

You will export the processed dual-iso files in Linux and you can copy them to Windows.

[ibrahim]

Using linux on my windows and then return to windows?... Sounds confusing.
Is there another way to remove noise from my footages without using dual iso+ETTR? That is why I am trying to use dual iso+ETTR.

[Licaon_Kter]

Using linux on my windows and then return to windows?

It gets the job done.

Hello everyone,

     I'm having a difficult time with MLVFS. I have vertical banding in my shots, and even with the vertical stripes fix on, the dng files are not changing. I am shooting on a 7D. Is there a step I'm missing? It seems when the directory pops up on Safari everything is fine, but even with Chroma Smoothing 2x2 I get weird purple and green artifacts, almost like dead pixels. In MlRawviewer (I know it's not developed anymore) I don't get vertical stripes. I'm guessing since there is less detail in this program and because the vertical stripe fix works in MLRawviewer. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
