[FFmpeg-user] ArriRaw files - "Unsupported codec"

[Harvey Pikelberger]

Looking to convert ArriRaw MXF files to h.264/mp4

So far I'm unable to do so.

The source file is picture-only, MOS and play successfully in Premiere Pro.
Neither FFmpeg, QuickTime, nor VLC recognize it

Working on a MacBook Pro OS 10.14.2

FFmpeg console: (FFprobe is below that)
