hey; we still love you man, your camera and what it becomes; we're just so much involved (emotionally and financially) that we want the best out of it and you.
Cheers

DarkKelt, I think by now it should be obvious that Red is understaffed in engineering and manufacturing departments. In addition, it appears that quality control is not a strong point of Red.

Red has some very smart people which helps them to solve the problem they are facing in a short amount of time. However, what is surprising for me is that many of the problems arisen should be known to somebody who has developed a digital camera system before. Therefore, instead of taking a reactive approach after something has happened, a proactive approach encompassing proper planning to avoid some of the pitfalls should have been adopted. Their staff has people who have worked in camera manufacturing companies before, however, it appears to me they lack infrastructure and personnel in integration and production work flows.
 
REALLLLLLYYYYYYY slow download times for Build 15!

REALLLLLLYYYYYYY slow download times for Build 15!

Hi all. . .

I'm trying to download Build 15 for #791. However, this thing is CRAWLING along at 0.3 KB per/second OR LESS! It is telling me it will be 24 HOURS at this pace. . . and it's just a 13.1MB file!

Is anyone else experiencing this???

Stephen, you might want to start all over again as we just released a new version of Build 15 :)

PS, I just downloaded it in 16 seconds.

Thanks, BC
 
Hey brent,
does this update fix the frame stutter issue in the earlier 15?
 
Joofa,

I've no beef with jim or red. the way I see it they've already over delivered in many areas. we have a system that has new features and new surprises every few weeks. I don't know a single other camera system where thats true. whens the last time sony let you do a firmware update on one of their cams for free. thats right never. they did update the f900 once and you had to pay for it. jims not out to screw anyone. he maybe over optimistic sometimes but Im not going to beat the man down for that. if he wasn't optimistic none of this would have happened in the first place and we'd be all talking about sony's next piece of over priced snailware. take a chill pill

RED will do right by everyone just as they have all along.

No, we are not tired of being slapped on the back. We get plenty of being slapped in the face, so this is a nice offset. :-)

I read a lot around here, but I don't post and I'd like to add more positive feedback to try and further balance the weight of ludicrous posters who somehow assume they're the C.E.O. of RED (or at least on the Board) (or a majority investor)... who demand constant "briefings", (24hrs a day mind you)... demand features, feel personally slighted and aggrieved when they're not pandered to, take very little personal responsibility whatsoever for their choices, who beg and manipulate to try and get tentative dates then bleat relentlessly when a date isn't met... who adopt a victim mentality like they breathe (i.e.- without even thinking)... I honestly find it ASTONISHING that all of you at RED can put up with it.

I have a RED on order... (I work in a professional filmmaking environment, yes, with clients and deadlines and urgency)... the camera will arrive when it arrives, it'll work how it works... and I'll enjoy its continued development and surprises.

BUT BEST OF ALL - I have no questions for Jim or his team. :w00t:

Best wishes to you guys/gals at RED HQ.
 
15 2.1.3 Redcode 36 on CF works fine at 4k all framerates available. Thanks
 
Anyone had any problems playing quicktime proxies?

Also, since there is a new black shading involved, is there any issue going back to 14 after installing 15?

As they say, the dumbest question is the one that isn't asked. If you had the camera today, you might find yourself confused on some of the camera's functionality. This board would be nothing but ass kissing praise without questions from users and future users.
 
Wow! What a difference in download times. . . about 20 seconds versus, quite literally, an indication of TWO DAYS! Something was up. . . glad it's fixed.

IMO, a lot of people around here confuse the line between asking questions for clarification of use, and acting like spoiled infants demanding satisfaction. I have problems with the latter. That was the point of my post.

There is, I feel, abuse of the fact that they have a clear line of communication to the development team by bombarding them with absolute crap. Frankly, I find a lot of the attitudes embarrassing. That may be just me, but I am certainly entitled to my opinion. I'm not a fan of what you label "ass-kissing" either, something you might think is the other side of the same coin. If that is the case, then we're in agreement about searching for the quality on some thin line in the middle.

A benefit to RED, I imagine, is that they get instant feedback on a lot of their initiatives. Is it worth it to them? I guess so as they continue to be transparent, reachable and available on here.

Is it of value to me? A very small percentage of the site is and a small amount of posters provide some excellent information and observations and I thank them for that. I guess that's the internet for you... no news there.
