It would be nice if the user can load a .cube LUT file for quick graded playback.

It could even be used for exporting videos once that is in place.

May I ask if there woulld be the possibility to get this Software running on Linux, either natively via Mono Project, or via Wine?

Hello,

Appreciate the development of such a playback tool. Cannot seem to playback working with custom written DNG files.

Have run them through adobe's dngvalidate tool no issues there, and works in davinci, ACR, etc...

I've attached a sample folder of dng's

I like to have the player start playing when I open a sequence. ( it could be an option play on open)

This will help me quickly check footage, I know its little trouble to press play myself but it would be a nice quality of life enhancement if it could have an auto play option.

Would be amazing if you guys could add Cineform RAW would be amazing. Not RGB but RAW. Virtualdub 2 has a porr implementation of this and as it is open source it would be an amazing addition. No other transcoder does Cineform RAW from DNGs.

Hello,
I wanted to try Octopus Raw Player with CDNG videos captured with a Sigma FP (25fps 10bits 9/16).
None of the videos open, and an error message appears: "Failed to Open '....' Error: NotImplemented."

I contacted your Instagram page, which redirected me here, explaining that 10bits is not yet implemented and requesting examples of videos to help resolve the issue.

Here are two 10bits videos (in a 9/16 ratio): https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/30fe9f18-f23e-4596-82a0-07b91cbd354e (3,4Go)

Error screen:

I have here two .DNG files created by Sigma FP and then converted to lossless compressed with Slimraw

One is compressed with premiere cc compatible on and the other without.

Both have an error when opening in RawPlayer

Dear OCTOPUS RAW Player Development Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to suggest adding anamorphic video support in the OCTOPUS RAW Player. Many filmmakers and videographers utilize anamorphic lenses to achieve a unique widescreen aesthetic. However, the lack of native support for anamorphic playback often complicates the viewing process, requiring additional steps for correct aspect ratio display.

Implementing anamorphic video support would greatly enhance the functionality of OCTOPUS RAW Player, making it a more versatile tool for professionals and enthusiasts alike. This feature would not only streamline the workflow for anamorphic video projects but also position OCTOPUS RAW Player as a more comprehensive solution in the RAW video playback market.

Thank you for considering this request. I am looking forward to seeing how OCTOPUS RAW Player continues to evolve and meet the needs of its user base.

Hi there :)

My BMCC 2.5k CDNG clips are showing in your player with the same yellow cast that the finder previews them with -- I know that this is not how the clip really looks because when I open it in DaVinci its color balance looks fine. Can I fix this on my end, or are you working on a fix?

Thanks!
Brendan

Hey all,

First off I'd like to send my gratitude for making this. I use Raw Converter to convert Pro Res Raw clips to CDNG and am editing in Davinci. The CDNG files open in Octopus but don't seem to have a smooth playback. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Best,
Andy

Tested on Mac OS Monterey 12.2.1
Files seems to play in correct order and in realtime. However preview is completely green.
Since we are at it. Eos m and other digic V canon cameras can manipulate pixels to achieve a better output. For instance 1x3 pixel modification which creates a very anamorphic output needs to be corrected. This could be done by addressing the default scale tag in cdng metadata. Only program I know atm using this tag is adobe camera raw.
Anyway. Not sure how deep you are willing to go around these files but a good looking preview would be nice to have to start with. I´ll provide a few sequences here.

Dear OC team,

for the "Metadata" Info Table may I suggest an addition (like found within the Invisor App ):

A "Mbps" Result for a given CDNG folder with a given Framerate.

For example 48 CDNG frames of 1 sec of DJI X7 at Setting CDNG 17:9 4096x2160 (1 DJI X7 4096 x 2160 CDNG file is 6.62 MB) result in 317,7 MB/s equals 2541,6 Mbps (Mbit/s).

That would be very helpful to calculate the Bitrate of certain CDNG folders.

And thank you for the great OC player, an excellent piece of Software so far!

Thank you,
Chris

When scrubbing trough a clip it wold be nice to have an option reveal the current time frame DNG in the finder
This would allow me the locate the frame I found and send it so someone for example, or open it in photoshop.

Additionally it would be nice if the player had an option to show the current playtime full .dng file name.

It would be nice if I can associate the single frames of a sequence with the player so they can open the whole sequence for playback just by double clicking one of them.

Currently this is not possible.

Not sure if this will be possible as it such a new format.

DNG sequences recorded by the MotionCam Android do not play - error with BadMetadata

It does not matter if I drop the first frame file or the whole folder of a sigma fp CDNG RAW movie onto the viewer window. Playback is an all-black movie.

Windows 10. Video is ProRes RAW converted with Raw Converter. Source is Z Cam to Ninja V+.

Win10 Home 10.0.19045 Build 19045

The program immediately closes when a folder with DNG is loaded. Running the single file executable as admin does not change this.
