  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Build 16 Codec Error killer...

David Mullen ASC said:
Would you guys have gotten the same errors if you had used 2:1 instead of 16:9?

Truth is that I just shot a feature on Build 15 in 4K 2:1 and never got a codec error.

not sure, but for commercials 16:9 is preferred. Its an option in camera so it should work regardless.

btw- so far this is the only trouble scene today.
 
Hi David,
to be honest I havent got the time today to test the same situation with the tree with 4K 2:1. I will try it tomorrow.
As I told in Build 15 we had like you the experience that with 4K 2:1 no codec error appeared. I hope it´s in Build 16 the same but I will try the tree tomorrow with 4K 2:1.

16:9 has been problematic from the start.
I think RED is a 2:1 camera.

There is no doubt that 4K 16:9 has been and remains the greatest challenge, but one we are getting closer to resolving with each Beta version of Build 16.
 
Are all these reports of errors really just reports about this last 1%?
Just kidding, I know you people at RED are all working to get rid of this ASAP.
I am(was?) a 35mm guy, but I abosultely love my RED @ build16 and hope to see a rock solid build soon. Counting on shooting my next feature on RED.
Keep on trucking.

Best

Admittedly I haven't read this entire thread.

For the sake of feedback, I had the older version of 16 yesterday shooting a scene with shining seawater and I could barely get through the scene because of faults. We installed the update (3.1.8) this morning and to my surprise I got a codec error immediately, and had about three more over the course of the day. I have trouble putting my finger on what was in the image to cause this, the shots seemed more or less normal to me with proper exposure.

Loving build 16. Keep up the good work. But I'm more or less desperate for a fix.

Warmth and respect,
IBloom
 
Shot lots of trees and such with build 3.1.2 and didn't have the errors. Tried to bust it. Here are some examples. Maybe not exactly the kind of shots that are busting it.

Ibloom, what aspect ratio did you shoot at - 4K 16:9? Lim
 
It is difficult to break, but you can do it... which is why no one is sleeping around here.

I went out to break it today, and I broke it.

Put the camera at 100 ASA. Not the best setting for outdoor / high contrast scenes, but this is what Steve did:

Look at this page: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=16054&page=14

Go to post 133 and 134.

So, I did the same thing. Broke it first try.

Then I went to ASA 320 and severly over exposed it, which is exactly what shooting outdoors at ASA 100 effectively is.

Broke it again.

I was also shooting trees, leaves, bright sky, etc.

I'm trying to upload my log files, but I'm having trouble with my internet. I'll get them over to Stuart as quicly as I can.

Update,

I got the log file to Stuart.

So... the moral is still: Green with lots of details and some over/underexposure still add mud or codec error?
If I'm going out to shoot in the woods I should do what?

LOL

Just as an offtopic sidecomment: Put my HVX up for sale exactly one hour after touching the RED for the first time. I knew I'd never open it again.

It's a nice cam and made me a good living, but to compare the two in any image-qualitydiscussion is quite... amusing.

For those that do not know.. Leo just posted in another thread that RED has defeated his evil tree. No more Codec errors.

He didn't chop the tree down, did he?
 
new build coming in a matter of minutes... With new REDCINE, RED Alert!, Quicktime Component and something else special ( REDrushes )

Codec Errors should be a thing of the past now... we will let you guys confirm that.
