DPX image sequence

[Alex Maranda]

So I recorded the HD i50 video stream as a DPX sequence and upon opening it in Nuke I get:

"Error...../0000001.dpx: Truncated at -1817581010 bytes"

Each frame is 4,148,608 bytes; I think a full HD frame is about 8MB.

Attempting to open the sequence in Shake crashes Shake.

Does this feature work?

Hi Alex,

the DPX files produced by Conduit Live contain 8-bit YUV (Y'CbCr 4:2:2) pixel data. Each pixel in this format is 2 bytes, so the frame size you're getting appears correct.

This feature was basically implemented as a request... I don't know if Nuke or Shake understand YUV data in DPX files, but I'm pretty sure you can batch-convert the files to an RGB format using open source tools like ImageMagick.

I hope that helps!
