DNG Codec - 64bit Win7

Creating a thread for 64bit Windows7 users to post in regards to support for the DNG codec on 64bit-Win7.
Currently 64bit nor Win7 is supported for the RC codec. Adobe supports 64 bit, in CS4, LR 2.x and LR3 beta. I expect 64bit and Win7 for the codec.
For those who want to play with the unsupported RC codec on 64bit win7, it would be great to get comments on this thread with your experiance.

www.gnu.org - free developement tools
www.adobe.com/products/dng/pdfs/dng_spec.pdf - freely available DNG specifications
Cost: $0
Now you are all set to write your own free DNG codec
Joke aside, Adobe is under no obligation to supply anything for free, where is the logic behind that claim? The Word and Excel document formats are open and, unlike DNG, actual international standards (see ECMA-376 and ISO/IEC 29500), does this means that Microsoft Office should be free? Microsoft makes free readers but it's entirely at their discretion, and the same goes for Adobe.
As for 3rd parties filling niches and charging for their work, what's wrong with that? What FPV and Ardfry charge is pocket change compared to the work involved with writing stable and well-performing codecs, and as David implied is certainly also pocket change compared to the cost of any photographer's kit.

A DNG Codec for Win7 64bit...Please?

Seriously, It's high time that Adobe
released a salient codec for Windows 7.
Yes...I do like to see pictures rather than some silly icon in Windows Explorer colorspace be damned.
But absent that...Anyone got a line on a free (non-trial) DNG codec for Windows 7 64-bit?
And, Adobe, Microsoft, Y'all play nice now.

Well I downloaded and installed the (latest?) 'dngcodec_r2_042711.exe' codec today ....and it didn't work.
Windows Explorer used to show a basic 'DNG' icon for each file ...Now it just shows generic 'picture' icons instead. Not a lot of help.
I have win7 64-bit, Lightroom 4 etc. and used the 'Make copy as dng' menu option to generate DNGs from Nikon NEF (raw) files, already present on the hard drive, as I wanted to get away from the cumbersome additional 'sidecar' files generated by the ACR engine but it seems I am stuck with them until someone (Adobe, can you hear this?) comes up with a suggested fix or something.
Anyone any ideas?

DNG Codec Not Working On Win Vista 32Bit

Having real problems with this DNG Codec I installed onto my Windows Vista 32 Bit system and this is what's happening. Yea, I can now see my DNG raw files through picture viewer and windows explore without going through PS. Unfortunately, when I decide to close down picture viewer the program crashes every time and the computer freezes up. Then I have to choose one of the error solutions to close out the program and the computer reverts back to a normal state after that. Also there is one other quirk it has caused and that is related to the "recycle Bin". When I delete a Raw file into the recycle bin and then want to empty the bin it goes into a non-stop operation of trying to delete the files without actually doing it, go figure and anybody else having similiar problems? Oh, by the way I uninstalled the Codec to see if my computer goes back to its normal behavior and guess what, everything is working as it should so its the Codec that has a major problem.

Ok, I seem to have got around the first issue using this http://bit.ly/mpWcuy
The new box has 16 cores on the cpu whereas the old box only had 4 so I had to up AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY registry entry to 1.2GB (as the calculated 1.07GB wasn't quite enough and the suggestion was to just up it to 1.2GB!)
However, I am now getting a different issue when trying to open the database!

DNG codec doesn't support descriptive tags in Windows 7

I installed the Adobe DNG codec yesterday which does indeed make it possible for Windows Explorer, Windows Media Player, Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Media Center to display DNG files (as thumbnails and as full sized images). I discovered however that descriptive tags are not supported. I use descriptive tags to organize my JPG photos. Descriptive tags are fully supported with JPG files in Windows 7. Windows Explorer exposes them for viewing and editing in the metadata pane along the bottom of the window. Windows Live Photo Gallery exposes them for editing and in the tree structure that is used for navigation. Users in Windows Media Center can choose to view their photos by descriptive tags, or date, or folder. Without descriptive tags, my photos would be a disorganized mess. I'd like to switch to storing my photos as DNG's rather than as JPG's, but it just isn't feasible without descriptive tag support in the codec. Any chance the DNG codec will support descriptive tags in a future release?

Hello shyamananda,
I have checked the drivers for your Deskjet 1180c and Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.
Unfortunately they are not compatible.
Here is the link to show you that it is not compatible: HP Products - HP Products Not Supported in Windows 7
I hope this answers your question.

Raw, Adobe DNG codec, LR Beta 3, frustration...

As an advanced amateur photographer, I decided that my New Year's resolution would be to stop shooting JPEG plus supplementary Raw on my Nikon DSLR, and to use only Raw. Also decided to try LightRoom Beta 3 (not a LR user previously; I use Windows Live Photo Gallery). Finally, also decided to use DNG instead of NEF to facilitate cross-application compatibility (ie, I like the idea of a non-proprietary datafile format) and to avoid creating sidecar (XMP) files for keywords. I use Windows 7 Pro and Home Premium on an Acer Netbook and Dell Inspiron notebook computer, although I've only created the DNG files on the netbook so far.
It's been a sinkhole of time to get working.
Once I had created some DNG files from the NEF files using LR3, the computer performance deteriorated completely. Eventually found that CPU was pegged at 100% utilization, and that SearchFilterHost.EXE was the culprit. MUCH sleuthing revealed that going into Windows Control Panel > Indexing Options > Advanced, and unchecking the DNG file type allowed the indexing to proceed to completion. When the DNG files WERE allowed for indexing, then the Indexing Options dialog box showed that the indexing stalled at some point; if the DNG files were DISALLOWED, the the indexing completed normally.
Secondly, when I opened Windows Live Photo Gallery, it showed that it was creating thumbnails (presumably the DNG files), but that it was proceeding at about 1 file per 30 seconds. The CPU was pegged at 50% during this time. Eventually all the thumbnails were completed, and CPU utilization dropped to a few percent.
In both cases, Windows Resource Monitor revealed that Adobe's DNGCodec was associated with the stalled/slow process.
I installed the latest DNG converter from Adobe, but the DNG Codec remained unchanged (version 1.0.0.2, dated from 2008). The DNG codec does not appear to have a recent version on the Adobe website.
Next, I uninstalled the Adobe DNGCodec, and downloaded and installed the third party codec from http://www.ardfry.com/dng-codec/Download.htm. The thumbnails in Windows Live Photo Gallery were generated at a rate of several per second, and the Windows Indexing Options proceeded without hanging up, although it was slow. It's definitely working better with the third party codec.
Searching the forums reveals that lots of people are dissatisfied with the lack of a 64-bit DNG codec from Adobe. This problem seems to have existed for over a year, maybe even two years. I don't use 64-bit Windows, but the codec problems are in 32-bit, too. How can Adobe expect users to adopt DNG as a standard when they provide such poor support? It's crazy that end-users should have to seek out, download, purchase, and install a codec from a third-party supplier in order to get reasonable performance.
Adobe: please fix your DNG codec.

Thanks to you, jackfrombc, for for proofing my concerns about why indexing loads my CPU so much after I install some new soft, and DNG codec among it. Now I'm able to switch indexing back on on my combuters not being afraid of it eating laptops' batteries.
Thank you, again.
ps. sorry for poor english, in advance.

.xlsm File use from Excel 2013 64bit/Win7 64bit to Excel 2013 32bit/Win8.1 64bit - Component Removed (not API related)

Work Environment: Excel 2013 64bit/Win7 64bit
Home Environment: Excel 2013 32bit/Win8.1 64bit (1 desktop and 1 laptop)
I am developing an an .xlsm file at work (with Lists and a single form with controls linked to a worksheet ControlSource). It works and saves all day long just fine in my work environment. I save the file to either a USB drive (or DropBox - makes no difference)
and then open the file on my home computer. I can open the file the first time with no problem and with no error messages. But then when I try to save the file Excel 2013 32bit most often tells me that it has removed a component. But it doesn't tell which
component it has removed. After that, if I close the file and try to reopen it, it won't reopen. I get a series of error message: [1] file path errors (error 75) [2] Excel has stopped working errors. [3] Excel hasn't enough memory to complete the operation,
[4] Excel will close. So I click the close button on the last error message and Excel disappears. I say disappears, because its not really gone. Mind you, its not listed in the Task Manager at this point. But, if I then click the Windows Taskbar icon to start
Excel, Excel will sometimes automatically open up with the file that I was trying to open before, already up and running, i.e. I do not select the file to open it - it just appears. Other time Excel just repeats the series of error messages noted above.
The strange part is, once this file has been corrupted, I can still take it back to my work environment, fire it up on my work computer, and it works just fine. No error messages, no saving problems.
I have totally uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013 (HUP Click to Run) on both my home computers and it makes no difference.
I can say though, this is driving me nuts. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
phillfri

I think I solved the issue.
Step 1: Moved all my code from the Worksheet_Open event to the Auto_Open Macro.
Result: File would open from inside Excel but when opening by clicking on the file in Windows explorer I would get the error msg "There was a problem sending a command to the program."
Step 2: Apply FixIt 20074. Note that to get this FixIt to work in Windows 8.1 you MUST save the FixIt file to your desktop and run it from there. If you follow the instructions on the FixIt page - download and run - you will get the error msg "This Fixit
does not apply because the computer does not have the expected software (Excel.exe)."
Excel 2013 definitely seems to have some bugs when starting a macro enabled file. I have seen other comments on the internet about the Excel workbook_open event actually failing to run all the VBA commands that are put into it.
Environments:
[1] Home: Microsoft HUP Click-n-Run Office Professional 2013; Windows 8.1, 64 bit; Excel 2013, 32 bit.
[2] Work: Enterprise Microsoft Office Professional 2013; Windows 7, 64 bit; Excel 2013, 64 bit.

No option to select Outlook for syncing - 64bit Win7 and Outlook 2010

After 2 days of trying everything I uninstalled 64bit version of Outlook 2010 and installed the 32bit version and iTunes now works properly !
ITUNES IS DEFINATELY NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OUTLOOK 2010 64bit !!!

Problems with DNG codec

I have installed the DNG codec on my laptop. Restarted, but afterwards couldn't see any thumbnails for my DNGs (DNGs created with the Adobe DNG convertor from an EOS 10D, and also DNGs created with CaptureOne 4, same camera).
On top of that, thumbnails of other file formats weren't shown anymore, either. Most of the time when browsing to a folder, the correct thumbnails blinked up for a moment, and then most of the images showed the generic image icon, while a few (mostly 2 or 3 out of a folder of 10-20 images) still showed the thumbnail.
After deinstalling the codec, everything went back to normal.
Oh, forgot to mention: The OS is Vista Business 32.

My issue is that the codec appears to be Read Only. I would really like to be able to geotag my DNG files using the Microsoft Pro Photo Tools that were released in the Spring.

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.

DNG Codec makes Vista Indexing very slow?

Hi,
I recently installed the DNG codec to preview my photos in Windows and I let Vista Search index all my storage. It was taking weeks and the number of indexed files was barely moving. I wasn't sure what it was so I started excluding folders from the index one by one. Eventually I realized that it was the Pictures folder which contains roughly 60GB of mixed JPG and DNG photos. I uninstalled the DNG Codec and now indexing is finished, including the Pictures folder, several hours later.
Vista Home Premium, 32-bit, 4GB RAM, Core 2 Duo 2.66MHz.
Regards,
Pavel

I've got:
4GB memory
Page File (virtual memory) is 7326M
2.4GHz P8600 Dual core processor
105 GB available disk space
video card is a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M
Those stats should surpass the minimum requirements with flying colors.
I've just noticed that ever since I've got Windows Vista, any menial task of moving (cut & paste) a 100KB file from one folder to another folder on my local PC could take minutes instead of milliseconds. Unzipping items also takes a ridiculous amount of time. I was thinking this slow vista file management might be causing the slow Oracle install.
I was hoping someone else might have see this issue before and can tell me where the "go-faster" flag is located.
Thanks!

CS5 Master Coll installs 32bit Photoshop on 64bit Win7

I have installed a CS5 Master Collection on my PC with Win7 64bit. To my big surprise I found the 32bit version of Photoshop on my PC now.
Before that action I had already Photoshop CS5 64-bit installed on this PC, I uninstalled it prior to the Master Collection installation.
How to get this fixed? I've never been asked which PS version should be installed.

On the initial install splash screen it shows a list of the CS5 programs, all are checked by default. If you simply select this the installer will in fact install both the 32 bit and the 64 bit.
So, double check the program list to see if you do not have both installed.
If not, you will have to try a reinstall for the 64bit. Or possibly unistall everything then do a reinstall.
There are a number of plugins that will not run on the 64bit so I keep both installed.

Photoshop CS4 (64bit) & Win7 x64 problem fixed

I just wanted to post this to help anyone who might be having this problem.
Here's the problem. When you use Photoshop's lasso tool, you can press ALT at the same time, and it would turn into a magnetic lasso tool that you can use to make straight lines.
Well, what would happen is that I would be making a selection, and then suddenly the screen (both screens, as I'm using a dual screen setup) would flicker, and the selection would complete by itself, and I would be SOL, as, obviously, the selection is not what I wanted.
I could replicate this without fail. I'm halfway done with making a perfect selection, and bam!, this crap happens, and I have to start all over again. It happens ALL the time, no matter what Photoshop setting I used. Photoshop was completely updated, and all my device drivers (video card, mouse drivers, etc.) were all at their latest. So I started looking outside Photoshop, as I was thinking it might be another software problem.
After much trial and error, I narrowed it down to Task Manager. I had Task Manager running in my tray. If I closed Task Manager (not minimize, close), restarted Photoshop, and made my selection using the lasso tool, the issue would go away, but would come back randomly.
The fix? Run Photoshop CS4 in Vista compatibility mode. This solves the problem completely.
I know a lot of you will probably say that you have Photoshop CS4 running flawlessly on Win7 x64, but I have 3 computers, each with completely different configurations, one of them being a laptop, that I was able to replicate this on. Once I ran Photoshop in Vista compatibility mode on each computer, the problem was completely solved.
So I hope this helps anyone who has run into this problem.

I confirm he is a blond wanna be.

RWL to DNG in Lightroom Win7 not working

Hello, I just got my MBP yesterday and I am trying out aperture and I have to say that I´m loving it, however I am having a small problem, though the .DNG converted in lightroom from my Nikon D200 and the .RWLs from my Leica D-Lux 5 are showing perfectly the .DNGs converted in lightroom from my .RWLs are not working, I have Aperture 3.1.1 and CameraRAW 3.5.0
I tried using the Adobe DNG Converter with all possible settings with no luck at all.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much!

Yes, i have already decided to skip the DNG step.. BUT.. the 400 or so files that i have are only on DNG, now im converting to tiff and i will forget about it, in the future i will just keep them as RWL...
Aha. So it is a matter of "saving" the files you already have? If you created the DNG with the option to embed the original, you should be able to retrieve the original with DNG converter.
If you did not, I think conversion to tiff is the best option. You may want to keep the DNG as well, however, at least for critical photos. The DNG will contain much more image data than your converted tiff files. In many cases, that will not matter at all, as the tiff anyhow contains all the info that is needed. However, with overexposed or underexposed photos, or photos where the white balance is off, the DNG may contain data you may actually need.
