Source filters for DPX input?

[ChiDragon]

So far I've tried "ImportUncompressedSequence (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=51227)" and ImmaRead (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=135928), but both are giving me dependency errors that boggle my mind. Are there any other options?

[Wilbert]

Regarding Immaread. Did you put all files (dll + xml) in http://www.wilbertdijkhof.com/ImageMagick-6.5.8_dll.zip in your system folder?

[ChiDragon]

Hi Wilbert. I put them in C:\Windows\System32\ on this Win7 x64 PC. I'm not certain that's the right one.

[foxyshadis]

They have to go in SYSWOW64 (or something else on the 32-bit path).

Also the variable path in system has to be set, and after that you have to re-boot your system.

[creaothceann]

Logging out and back in might already do the trick.

[ChiDragon]

Okay, I placed the DLLs in SysWOW64. I have not set the environment variable, logged out, or rebooted.

JPEG test
ImmaRead("U:\frecklesTEST.jpg",MAGICK_HOME="C:\Windows\SysWOW64") #WORKING
ImmaRead("frecklesTEST.jpg",MAGICK_HOME="C:\Windows\SysWOW64") #Stack overflow

Actual DPX (720x486 10-bit Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K capture)
ImmaRead("U:\<my very long path>\<filename>.dpx",magick_home="C:\Windows\SysWOW64") #Crash
ImmaRead("U:\<my very long path>\<filename>.00003591.dpx",magick_home="C:\Windows\SysWOW64") #Garbled image
ImmaRead("U:\<my very long path>\<filename>.%08d.dpx",magick_home="C:\Windows\SysWOW64") #100 garbled images

This is one of the crazy errors I was getting before, which happens if I try to place the DLLs in other folders:
ImmaRead: couldn't open picture file: severity=1b3, reason=unable to open image `EST.jpg': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2643, description=(null)
(U:\ImmaRead TEST.avs, line 1)
Script for that is: ImmaRead("U:\frecklesTEST.jpg",MAGICK_HOME="U:\ImmaRead-ImageMagickDLLs\")

And then ImmaRead("frecklesTEST.jpg",MAGICK_HOME="U:\ImmaRead-ImageMagickDLLs\") generates the same error message except it says unable to open image `.jpg' without the "EST".

Could you upload such a file somewhere. The imagemagick libs which are used in that plugin are outdated, so it might be the dpx (or some dpx formats) is not well supported. I guess i should update the libs when the dpx file opens fine in newer versions of imagemagick.

Here is a nice copyright-free image of something on my computer desk. Hopefully there are no bad ads on this site or anything.

For me this 1920x1080 image crashes ImmaRead rather than displaying garbled like the other one. Should I send a 720x486 garbled one too?

Yes please.

[ChiDragon]

Whoops, the crash was actually because I typed the path to the file wrong (filename correct but forgot subfolder)! This one actually loads just fine! Although, it's a 42-frame sequence and if I load it with the default end value of 100, there's a stack overflow when it tries to read frame 43.

Here is a garbled one:

I guess it doesn't like the frame size?

[Wilbert]

Could you use a normal upload site (for both files)? I see tons of links but neither one gives me the images.

[ChiDragon]

I thought this was a normal file hosting site. What do you suggest?

The "Download" link is next to "Share" and then you click on "Free Download".

[foxyshadis]

4shared makes you sign up to download anything.

MEGA or MediaFire.

As long as we're going off topic -
Dropbox.
* Set up a shared folder on your PC and the DropBox app uploads the files to the cloud.
* Browse the folder and right click a file to get the public URL.
* Paste the URL between and

OneDrive and Google Drive work too, but I find DropBox more convenient. Free for < X GB (not sure what the limit is these days)

[Wilbert]

I have the images. Btw xnview only shows the big one correctly. The little one looks garbled. Is there an image viewer which shows the little correctly?

When i have time i will look at ImageMagick and update libs if the last version can read them.

[ChiDragon]

Thanks for mirroring, foxyshadis.

I don't know which image viewers can display DPX files. It's entirely possible that the 720x486 DPX files created by the capture card are simply broken, though its 4:2:2 AVI captures with the same frame size are fine. This card currently has 1.4/5 stars on Amazon customer reviews because it's so buggy and fails to deliver so many features. Sorry for bothering you with what may be yet another Blackmagic driver failure.

FFImageSource (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/FFmpegSource) opens up the big file fine but fails with the small file.
