Uh... for some reason, the windows version doesn't do the math right, but the linux one does... looking into it.

Edit: solved, download again, it was a windows-specific compiling flag.

I can't believe it, but banding is really completely gone with newest RAW2DNG tool! What a historic moment, now we can shoot RAW FullHD even under the most demanding situations without color pixels or banding or whatsoever.

Alex, I think you (and the rest of the team) will really make filmmaking history with this. FullHD raw from a superb fullframe sensor, without any negative sideeffects whatsoever. You should get the Technical Oscar for this. And the resolution is the maximum one can get out of FullHD. What an amazing time to live in. Thank you so much!

i have installed the newest build on my 5d mk3, 29_May,
made a complete reset of canon settings,
recorded some raw,
converted on the mac with raw2dng 0.10
got the same vertical noise.. :(
check the dropbox link.
the blue one is a screenshot and unsqueezed cause of anamorphic lens.
the dng is untouched.

I only have a 60D so I can't test this debug build. I made a dng with a lot of hot pixels by overexposing and using high iso. This way I found out that Adobe's raw engine corrects dead or hot pixels, but only the once that are not next to each other. Maybe this is a reason why results are so inconsistent...

I would suggest to use a program like RawTherapee for pixel peeping, it's free and open source.

600D benefited from af_raw being set, try it on 60D. Did not get any banding.

I've got also a problem with some bad/hot pixels on 60D (I've just build ML from latest source).

lv_af_raw enables edge detection. Don't use it.

There is a bug in the new RAW2DNG. When I convert RAWs with it, there are black vertical lines in those areas of the photo with are strongly overexposed.

This doesn't happen with the old RAW2DNG, however old RAW2DNG has vertical banding. Vertical banding is completely gone with new RAW2DNG. The footage looks soooo clean now without old vertical banding problem.

Please download and use Windows RAW2DNG to see the problem (vertical lines):

Problem occures both with Global Draw Off and On.

My lens (50/1.8) has no correction data on 5D3.

So do you have a 50/1 or a 50/1.8?

Zebras at overexposed areas are gone with the newest RAW2DNG, thanks A1ex!  :)

The footage is so amazingly clean now that the 8-Pixel-Vertical-Banding is gone. I can't believe it, it's so breathtaking. So sharp, such a unbelievable dynamic range, exceeding the best photochemical film in dynamic range.

There are some subjects where the RAW2DNG algorythm does not yet recognize the 8-pixel-vertical-banding and therefore does not substracts it out.

I was about to upload some samples, but have seen that there is a new RAW2DNG update (https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/commits/97d9ed828854ad0d9376dd8e0917db51f3ee6df9) which is not yet available to download for Windows.

So I'll wait to check my RAW footage with the new RAW2DNG (once it will become available for download) before I upload the RAW samples.
