Hi there,

I picked up a used Canon 50D with 7500 actuations in very good shape and installed ML + nightly builds. I also purchased a KomputerBay 32 gig 1000x CF card and I recorded some RAW video(seems to be consistent after a few seconds, at least I get the green camera icon on the LCD (85mb/s or a bit more), which I assume it indicates the card can keep up shooting RAW. I downloaded MlRAWviewer1.2.3 and can see the footage, however, after that I've been having problems converting the .MLV files to .MOV or .AVI. Is there an easy way without dealing with hundreds of .DNG files per clip? I plan on shooting on land and underwater (in a Sea & Sea housing), and while H.264 works fine, I want to know what's the easiest way of processing RAW files.

I am coming from a GoPro 3 black and have shot many underwater videos. Problem is, with GoPro Studio, it's a piece of cake to put together a movie. Is there a utility that can convert directly to .mov files that are readable in GoPro Studio or similar vid editor? Sorry, newbie questions and have read through the forum as well as downloaded RAW magic but could not get it to work. I also tried to download Davinci Resolve 11 Lite(which I think it's free) but got stuck (my computer still runs Vista) Will need a better one down the road (can't use my work's laptop on this either.. so) :)

Any suggestions will much be appreciated.

Thanks.

Yep, go with resolve lite, cleanest way of handling them, if you want to direct to log esque video, just setup a powergrade with the LUTs you like and get it yo render all the clips to prores or the like.

Thanks both. Good to know. I'm tempted to go buy a new box at Best Buy, will probably do soon (unfortunately I can't use my work's laptop for this type of processing).
