End of Year Updates

Two Raylight packages have been updated to fix end-of-year
problems with the licensing and copy protection. All users
need to update as soon as possible:

DVFilm Raylight, now at Version 301-6.

This version also includes the latest update
to DVFilm Maker (Release 2.4) with HD 3:2 pulldown
remove feature.

Raylight Decoder 3.11

This features the new installer and now supports
DVCPro50 playback.

Update your copies at dvfilm.com/update

Raylight for Windows Update 301-5 now available

Update 301-5 fixes a bug where Vegas requests a compressed frame and Raylight displays a popup message that Vegas "wanted a compressed frame" which we don't support. It should not have generated an error message.

As always, the update for registered users can be requested at this page.

Raylight for Mac 2.06

Raylight/Mac is now up to release 2.06. This release fixes a number of bugs. They are:

1. P2 Maker now automatically removes the file lock on LASTCLIP.TXT when you are writing directly to a P2 Card.

2. P2 Maker now writes continuous timecode into the video streams for all formats.

3. Fixed a problem with scanning DV-NTSC MXF files.

4. Fixed a problem where changing the quicktime folder where P2 Maker looks for quicktimes would cause the application to crash.

5. Fixed a problem where running the application out of a disk image or external drive would cause playback problems with link files made from MXF files on the system drive.

6. Fixed a problem where the "Store links with MXF files" option was ignored when scanning a folder in "More Scan Locations" which contained multiple card images.

Raylight/Mac 2.04

Raylight for Mac 2.04 is released which fixes some problems with the P2 Card files generated by the P2 Maker function. When playing back clips made by Raylight in the HVX200 camera, you will no longer see the red "X" in the thumbnail view. You will however see a blue "E" which means the footage was edited.

Also we have fixed some problems with importing the MXF files into Avid Express Pro HD or Avid Media Composer, or Final Cut Pro 6 Log and Transfer. You can now take P2 Cards created with Raylight/Mac and import them into these programs.

Raylight for Mac 2

We've released version 2 of Raylight for Mac. Existing users can update their copy at dvfilm.com/update.

There are some important changes:

1. Raylight now supports the authoring of P2 Cards. You can actually write directly to a card by exporting a DVCPROHD quicktime from FCP, and it is automatically converted to an MXF file on the card. It also works with DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV.

2. The price for new users is now $195, we had to raise the price because of new development and support costs.

3. Raylight Mac now requires product activation. The activation process is simple and be done on any computer through one webpage, dvfilm.com/activate. The activation is keyed to each computer, so if you are using Raylight on multiple computers, you must purchase additional licenses (as was already required in the license agreement). Contact sales at DVFIlm.com for additional licenses or get them directly at DVFilmStore.com

Raylight for Windows 301-4 update available
