Raw2DNG programs working only 30% of the time

[tdubsy]

I've been looking around the forums for a while to find anyone else with this issue. When I'm converting my raw files to DNG's the converter only works for some shots and not others. all of them were shot at the same resolution and I've tried the most recent versions of RAW2DNG and BATCHelor.

Has anyone else had this problem and/or found a resolution.

It's a bummer when as little as 1/15 shots on a card can only convert.

Thanks

However raw2dng.exe converter don't want to convert my RAW files (crush)

Maybe because you are not putting the files where they belong.  If you read the:

RAW video & ML -- Beginners Guide, FAQ & Useful Links -- READ FIRST
http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5520.0

You will find the following section:

FINALLY INSTALLATION OF RAW VIDEO

OK!  Now you should be familiar with ML for your camera and what you can do.  If you are one of the lucky owners of the DSLR that can do RAW Video then continue...

Now that you have Magic Lantern installed and running on your camera, you are then ready to install RAW video.  The development team are continually making changes to the software and these changes compiled into builds which you can use to update your camera.

By now you know there is an autoexec.bin file in your card.  This file contains all the instruction on how your camera will behave and each new build will include all of those changes in this autoexec.bin file.

So updating your camera software, in most cases, will require that you obtain the new autoexec.bin file to replace the old one. In the case of the RAW video there are some additional files required, these files are inside the Modules directory.

Here is a directory structure in a typical ML install:

Root Directory:

DCIM (Canon DIR)
MiSC (Canon DIR)
ML (DIR)
autoexec.bin
some-xxx-bootflag.fir (see special cases)


The first two are directories for Canon files.

ML is the main directory for Magic Lantern and inside this directory there is typically up to the following directories:

cropmks (DIR)
data (DIR)
doc (DIR)
LOGS (DIR)
MODULES (DIR)
scripts (DIR)
SETTINGS (DIR)

So the other update is inside MODULES where you will find the following files:

magic.sym
raw_rec.mo


SUMMARY:
1. Obtain new files for: autoexec.bin, magic.sym, raw_rec.mo
2. Replace the old files in the card.  That is all!!
3. Usually it is a good idea to delete the MAGIC.CFG file which is in the SETTINGS directory to start saving new configuration settings which may apply to the new (updated) changes.

I had done all of that. So I just started from scratch and reformatted everything.

It works now I was doing the exact same thing before so im not sure why it wasn't working.
