in the main post in this thread thread is a _very_ simple and hackish MLV viewer to check your footage
it will read uncompressed MLV files and display the frames with just a few frames per second.
this tool was programmed in
C# on windows, but it uses nothing windows-specific, so it should run on any OS using mono.
please remind: - this tool is just a PROOF OF CONCEPT
- it is not meant as productional tool
- i used it to check what is necessary to decode and view MLV files, its just my playground
- it has bugs!
- it will most likely not be continued
- i shared it as a last resort tool in case you need something like that
notes: - shows the video in half resolution to simplify debayering
- ramps exposure up/down if there is under/overexposure (so it may not be accurate enough for some of you)
- has no white balance algorithm
- just tested on 5D3, other cameras have different bayer patterns - didnt check them yet
- it uses the coefficients from the raw info block, so color weighting should be correct
- the scene is scaled to TV black and white levels (16..235) for a better looking playback
thanks to alex for giving me a lot of hints on how to process raw data efficiently
