I found a way to get prores4444/ap4h using free tools ... without adobe software... It is quite quick. I do not have any editing software to test the video out on. Opening it in kmplayer confirms ap4h but it looks a bit over exposed. Give me a heads up if this is not right or feel free to alter it and write a working version.
Setup
1. Download AnotherGUI 1.6 and prores4444 preset from
http://www.authorityfx.com/encoding-videos-in-prores-4444-on-windows/2. Optional enjoy the youtube tutorial or read the page on using AnotherGUI
3. Download AnotherGUI 1.7 beta from
http://doom10.org/index.php?topic=1943.0. This one actually works with win 7
4. Extract both versions and copy the "AnotherGUI Presets.xml" from the directory with AnotherGUI 1.6 to the directory of AnotherGUI 1.7 beta and overwrite it. This has the prores4444 preset in it unless you wish to write you own ffmbc command line code.
5. Grab ffmpeg
http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ I used ffmpeg-20130514-git-56ba331-win64-static. AnotherGUI 1.7 beta will be looking for ffmpeg when it starts.
6. Extract ffmpeg with your choice of compression software.
7. Copy all "ffmpeg.exe", "ffplay.exe", and "ffprobe.exe" to the directory with AnotherGUI 1.7 beta
8. Grab ffmbc from
http://code.google.com/p/ffmbc/ I used FFmbc-0.7rc8-win64
9. Extract ffmbc with your choice of compression software.
10. Copy the "ffmbc.exe" into the folder with AnotherGUI 1.7 beta
Process
1. Extract dng from raw using raw2dng.exe. ~ 30s / 1000 frames
2. Use ImageMagick. Open a command prompt and change directory to the where the dng files are execute "mogrify -format tiff *.dng" to convert the dng to a sequence of high bit depth tiff files. ~5min 40s / 1000 frames
3. Open AnotherGUI 1.7 beta. Select the first file in the tiff sequence. Select the prores4444 preset. Press Go to convert the sequence of tiff to a .mov. ~1min 45s / 1000 frames
Testing done on a SandyBridge i7 laptop with 1003 frames of 1280x540 raws
