  • 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...

if i'm allowed to help, and reconstructed the codec to a much better error free one.
would i get a cookie, or a new epic for free?

You will get a cookie.
 
I just tried the build Jarred sent and it is much more resistant to codec errors; only received one in a series of shots which would have immediately knocked 3.1.8 over.

Unfortunately, I can't check them frame by frame because the test build cannot open in post.

That's it for today; back at it in the morning.

Best regards,

Leo
 
I don't think its a software problem. Its very clear that Leo's tree is possessed and I think he should call an exorcist. At the very least a voodoo spell of protection written in chicken blood, for heaven's sake. ;)
 
On a slightly on topic note. Can I PLEASE have the ability of turning the "CODEC ERROR" warning off on the HDSDI and HDMI outputs? I'd much rather keep any issues in the camera DEPT until I see fit to provide a solution and till the client/producers. My client should never have to see something so ominous.

Leo... thanks for the testing. What we sent you is better than we have posted, and what we send next will be better still. This situation has the full attention of our team.

We prefer to fix the problem instead of hide it... both will take the same amount of time. :-) We are almost there.

I'm not speaking philosophically I think you guys are doing an incredible thing and welcome any and all improvements. I just want to keep it "in the family" so to speak with the camera dept. It's my responsibility as the DP and before I announce any issues to a producer I need a solution. The only way I can get that is if I have the information first. So My request still stands but I'll re word it.

May I please have the option to keep all mission critical warnings [battery, codec, self destruct] to selected outputs?

p.s. I'm getting ready to head out the door with a 16mm lens and some bright t11 light to see If I can break this darn 3.1.8.
 
Am I missing something or is build 15 v2.2.8 (required to get to build 16 - and afaik not included with the latest build 16 package) at this time abscent from the support page? (if I am right, anoyne who didn´t download the first beta 16 isn+t going to be able to get to the second one... or anyone thereafter)

Luckily I had it on file, since I downloaded it a few days ago, but had to get it from my other mac, since I couldn´t find it at REDs website.

(upgrading to beta 16 as we speak...)

Try building one of these yourself in two years from scratch... with all due respect. You assume quite a bit in your statement.

I have a new Canon 1Ds MKIII and 1D MKIII. There have already been several firmware updates to fix major problems for each of them. Canon has an army of engineers.

You guys are killin' me. Stop already. How about this...can someone tell me when a reliable, affordable and compact moco unit will be available for the RED/Scarlet. Something that directly interfaces with all existing OSX 3D capable apps too. :)

That's something to argue about.
 
RED TEAM have a log file to send where would you like it sent or what thread?

If he's worth his salt...take him up on it Jim. Hell, I'll come sweep up if it means Scarlet's production schedule can happen sooner.
