ACR 8.4RC DNG conversion can create files that crash Adobe DNG Codec 2.0

If I use the ACR 8.4 DNG converter to convert a raw file from my newly acquired Fuji X-T1, and I use the default compatibility option of ACR 7.1, the resulting DNG file causes Windows Explorer to crash whenever I navigate to the folder that contains the file.
I believe that this is happening because Adobe DNG Codec 2.0 is trying to create a thumbnail for the file, and it is not capable of dealing with DNG files that require the Camera Raw 7.1 demosaicing algorithm.
If I convert the same raw files and ask for ACR 6 compatibility, I don't have any problem navigating to the resulting folder. However, the resulting DNG files are much larger. Moreover, I understand that those files have already been demoasiced, which means that any future improvements in demosaicing algorithms will be moot.
My question, then, is whether the DNG Codec will be updated any time soon to handle files produced by the 8.4 DNG converter.

I’m on Windows 7 SP1, 64-bit version. So far as I know, I’m current on windows updates.
A sample image can be found at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/izcl857d37fmtdc/sGj2wuG3LF
Of course, it is possible that some other codec on my computer is the cause of the crash. However, I know for certain that
When I uninstall DNG Codec 2.0, I get no thumbnails for these images and no crash.
When I (re)install DNG Codec 2.0, Windows Explorer crashes the moment I navigate to the folder that contains these images.
I have found no problem with DNG files created from other manufacturers’ raw files.

HT3275 How do I find/restore files from items in secure home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder?

How do I find/restore files from items in secure (File Vault) home folder? How do I find/restore files that crashed when in finder of secure (File Vault) home folder? When I go into Time Machine, I see earlier dates but can't see files in my User File. I have File Vault turned on and see my home folder as a sparsebundle. Do I neede to restore this in order to see files in my home folder. When I click on it to restore it gives me an estimated time of over 2 hours. Also tried to restore an Excel file I was working on when computer hung, so lost it without saving or naming it. Does it exist anyplace and can I restore it?

Thanks. I had pretty much figured out from other posts that I had better turn off File Vault for my home folder and use a disk utility sparse bundel for little information I wanted to secure. The information about File Vault 2 in Lion was new and useful though.

DNG conversion of CR2 files

With Adobe DNG Converter, is there any way to automatically delete the original CR2 files as they are being converted to DNG, so that I don't end up with two versions of each file, one with a CR2 and one with a DNG suffix? I could not find this option under the DNG Preferences.
Many thanks!

Not in the DNG converter. However, if you use the DNG converter to download your images from the card you can simply convert as they are downloaded. Then all you have to do is format the card in your camera again. If you convert to DNG using Lightroom after the images have been imported you can set your options to delete the original raw file after successful conversion.

How do I open a file that needs adobe reader on my iPad

How do I open a file on my iPad that needs adobe reader.

Safari and the Mail app support PDFs - tap on them and they should open. If you want to store them on the iPad then there are a number of apps that support them and which you can sync them to or use 'open in' on Safari or Mail to copy them to e.g. free apps such as Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader

Quicktime X - export for web creates files that can't be uploaded

I'm trying to post a video to my website that can be viewed via computer or iphone. I used the "save for web" command and checked all three options: iphone, iphone (cellular), computer. There resulting folder had all three files and a reference ".mov" file which I understand will select the correct file based on the device being used to access the movie. I created an .html file based on the instructions and even used the sample file to make sure everything worked on the local level. The only problem is that when I went to upload the folder to the web, I couldn't upload any of the actual movie files because there were spaces in the file names, for example: the file named "olympics" was automatically saved as "olympics - iPhone (Cellular).3gp" and "olympics - iPhone.m4v," etc. The server would not me to upload files with spaces in the name. When I tried to remove the spaces and ext. puncutation, the files could upload but were no longer seen by the reference mov called "olympics.mov". Is there a solution to this problem, either in the way the reference movie is created or in the way the files could be uploaded with spaces? Thank you for your help...

Hi Kim,
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Are they sill that way on Safe Mode?
Is Spotlight trying to index that drive?

H.264 export without audio creates files that are not recognized in Quicktime or VLC

Dear all,
I need to generate h.264 files with video only. (short clips for use with a "clickable" catalog on an iPad)
Used the "H.264" category and chose a preset. Unchecked "Audio" so I only get the video exported.
The resulting .m4v file is not playable in Quicktime or VLC or MPEG streamclip.
When I leave audio enabled with the same preset, the file is fine, but as soon as I export without audio, the resulting file is unreadable.
Source material is ProRes 422HQ, audio+video, about 30-40 seconds long.
Any clues?
Carl.

Thanks Jeff, I did get that far ;-)
I'm sorry, probably my question wasn't very clear. Of course I can find some technical info about the iPad...
And of course some of the presets in Media Encoder provide basic starting points for encoding.
But... there is also the first iPad, I couldn't find the specs about it on the Apple site. On everymac.com I found:
Apple reports that the iPad supports "H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats."
So if I want to be compatible with all iPads I need to probably stay under 720p30 with [email protected] for H.264
When I look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC
I find (from the example values) that 1280x720@30p is quite near the maximum matrix size. So with 1024x576 I should be ok there. My bandwith of about 2Mbit is also well within range in this case. But what if I want to fill an iPod screen (1024x768) with the highest possible quality video? How do I calculate if this fits the max frame size requirements, where this is expressed in a number of luma samples and macroblocks? What is my max bandwith? The tables says that the "Max video bit rate for video coding layer (VCL) kbit/s" should be <14.000kbps. Does that directly translate to the sliders in my encoding app?
If you look in the table "AVC software implementations" (under Software encoder feature comparison) you can see that some features that are supported in MainConcept, and not supported in Qt. (8×8 vs. 4×4 transform adaptivity, Quantization scaling matrices, Separate Cb and Cr QP control, etc. What are these exactly?)
In Streamclip one can choose to have B-frames or not, in AME there is no such control. Does that mean it always encodes with B-frames? Why would one not want to have B-frames?
A lot of parameters in AME H.264 encoding seem to be set to certain fixed values that are not accessible to the user. Other programs (Sorensen, Telestream) provide the user with access to more parameters. Which parameters in AME are set to what (fixed, non-accessible) values and why?
As I said earlier, Quicktime reports different codecs for what should be the same format but from different encoders. Why? Is there a program that can analyze a H.264 stream and report about it in more detail than VLC/Quicktime?
etc. etc. etc....
If anyone could recommend an online resouce or a book to learn more about the ins and outs of H.264 encoding/decoding that would be great. I have the first edition of Charles Poynton's (brilliant!) book "Digital Video and HDTV", which does talk about MPEG-2 but not H.264. I saw that the second edition goes a bit more into detail about H.264. Does anyone have the second edition? Worth buying just for the relatively small addition about H.264?
Thanks.

MSWord items that crash Adobe Acrobat 9.0 add-in (Create PDF function)

I just want to include a tip I discovered after two days of troubleshooting a colleague's MS-Word (2007 - docx) document. I tried going through the forums to see if anyone else has posted this.
Obviously, my colleague would try to use the Acrobat add-in within Word through the "Create PDF" button. But doing so causes MS-Word to crash. The crash involves the dialog box for sending an error report to MS (which I cancel).
I then attempted this on another PC and got the same result.
Another colleague on the support team suggested trying to convert only sections of the document to try and pinpoint the issue to an element within the document. The result of trial and error pointed me to a particular graphics element on Page 11 of the 46 page document. The graphics element was composed of 4 clock diagrams that were made up of smaller elements (arrowheads and lines for the clock-hands, separate textboxes for the numbers 1 - 12 on each circular clockface, etc.) Deleting the whole graphic allowed the document to be converted to PDF.
I then reverted to the original document and clicked on the graphic. I was about to investigate if there was a particular element within the grouped graphic that caused the crash, but, by luck, I was able to discover that just by ungrouping the graphic into its elemental components "Create PDF" was able to render the PDF successfully.
Perhaps this is something to try in the future should anyone run into this issue. I hope this helps someone else.

It may be something that Adobe did not catch in the way that MS did the graphic processing (and to be sure MS does not always do things by the book). It may have been fixed. I note that you only have AA9.0. The current version is AA9.3.4, so an update might be in order. Potentially that would resolve the problem.
In any case, I have found the graphic processing done by WORD 2007 to be strange. Taking the same file to WORD 2003 (saving to a DOC format if required) has no problem with the conversion. So there are likely problems from both MS and Adobe.

Can you create file extensions?

Does anyone know if u can create file extensions to read and write from using java? If so can u tell me how or reccomend something that might help teach me?
Thanks

yeah, i'm pretty sure you can use the java FileInput and printStream classes to make a new file, i mean as long as the file contains a text base, the extension really doesn't matter

DNG conversions not opening

I dusted off an old Toshiba laptop that has a copy of CS4 Photoshop and the newest DNG Conversion software (v8.8). Pointed the DNG at a folder of RAW files (Olympus ORF), converted them, opened them in ACR and saved the files that are now .dng files in Bridge...but CS4 won't open them, says it doesn't support this file type. How can Adobe Photoshop not open an Adobe file type? I thought DNG made all RAW files backward compatible for Photoshop going back to the beginning of time. Any ideas, suggestions, solutions?

I got a couple of sample raws and converted them on the mac side using the 8.8 dng converter and they seem to open on both photoshop cs4 on mac and windows xp
Did you check to make sure both your photoshop cs4 versions have camera raw installed and are updated to camera raw 5.7?

Adobe DNG converter is known not to store all the raw data read off the sensor for some cameras during the conversion
for example : http://forums.adobe.com/message/1210138#1210138
says Gabor Shorr (author of Rawnalyze) : "...Anyway, back to the "lost data": the DNG converter cuts off the masked pixels from the K10 and K200 raw data (the Starist and the K100 do not record masked pixels; I don't know the others). These pixels are at the edge of the recorded image area, in these cases at the right and bottom edge. That's how the data looks if these strips are not cut off:
http://www.panopeeper.com/Demo/MaskedPixels_PentaxK10_ISO100_a.GIF ;
and up-close, with extreme contrast:
http://www.panopeeper.com/Demo/MaskedPixels_PentaxK10_ISO100_b.GIF ; ..."
The same was confirmed for example for Pentax K20D and some Nikon cameras too...
so you can never be sure what Adobe DNG converter does and does not
you might ask if that data is important... well sometimes it is - http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=34272518
"...they aren't completely useless as one can do several different things with them, as follows:
1) Use them to measure and back out Wide Band Vertical Patterns in the K10D and K20D.
2) Use them to tweak out the magenta to green tingeing from left to right that the K10D has at high ISO's or for highly boosted as to exposure and contrast images.
3) Use them to eliminate the border tingeing of the K20D that occurs in the same cases as the tingeing of the K10D above as is done using my Raw Border Correction (RBC) utility for the K20D.
4) Use them to measure and eliminate from the raw data the "Thin Green Line" problem of the K-7 for some camera samples when the sensor got warm had it not been fixed with a firmware update from Pentax.
5) Possibly use them to determine a different method of black level compensation for the K-x if necessary if conventional raw conversion methods produce any Horizontal Pattern Noise (HPN).
Not entirely useless

Does DNG Converter support CFA DNG for X-Trans files?

Does Adobe DNG Converter support the X-Trans sensor layout from ie. the X100S? Can converting an X-Trans sensor RAF file to to DNG result in a file that is _not_ in any way demosaiced and/or linearized?
If DNG Converter truly does support conversion of X-Trans to CFA DNG files, how can the resulting files be so much smaller (when not linearizing or ticking lossy compression of the DNGs)? The RAF files are all around 32 MB, while the DNGs are around ~23 MB. Is it only a matter lossless compression, or is the mosaiced data in some way altered?
If DNG Converter does support CFA DNG for X-Trans, at what DNG Converter version did you first implement support for the X-Trans sensor layout and conversion of X-Trans data to CFA DNG files?
These are important questions that I'm having a hard time finding answers for. I'd appreciate answer to any (but preferably all) of the questions.
