Kodak RAW file not recognised

hazza96 · Post by **hazza96** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 3:56 am

I have installed XnView 1.82.4 on my Windows XP Pro IBM laptop.

I just ust bought a new Kodak P850 and have shoot some photos in RAW which is a KDC file. I do have the DC120.dll file in the ...\XnView\PlugIns directory.

I searched this forum and any problems people had in the past were because they did not have the DC120.dll or it was a bug that was solved with the release of 1.6 something.

When I go to "Info / Plugin Information...." second from the top is DC120.dll. When I go "Info / Supported formats...." it has in the list "Kodak DC120 digital camera...Yes...No....KDC"

Has Kodak changed the file format but not the name? I have a sample KDC file from my P850 at http://tux.com.au/files/100_0239.kdc if someone wants to try it in their XnView.

If you need any more sample files just let me know.

Dam idiots why don't they all use OpenRAW?

Hmm I thought OpenRAW was a file format, appently it isn't it's a movement that is trying to compile the file formats of the manufacturers so that it won't be lost if they implode.

DNG is however a royality free format that is of archival quality that some cameras use as their RAW format.

Any news? Have you looked at the source code of DCRaw to find out how to read the format of KDC files?

In the forum on DPReview Mike from Kodak indicated that the DC120 is an ancient camera that used a proprietry compressed file format.

Maybe you could just drop support for the DC120 because no-one uses it and you don't have to worry about autodetecting which type of KDC the file is.

Ah you do know that the file format for the DC120 is completely different than the new KDC format?

It's not the library for new KDC, but for old format...

Do you have any plans on finding or developing a new library to read the new format?
