This is me waiting for the raw video file...

No boy has been mistreated in this forum.
We are a community, our mission is to share information.
We have asked for a shred of evidence to support the declarations.
He has lost more time writing excuses and posting screenshots than just uploading an original dng file and silencing everyone.
This is a very suspicious behavior in the light of his statements.
Furthermore, the tests provided, analyzed by expert photographers, have increased our doubts.
Who is publicly accused of lying defends himself by showing evidence to his defense and humiliating those who accused him of lying, in fact this was his reaction "I'll show you the video on Vimeo" statement never contradicted
Remember that the video on Vimeo does not constitute any proof, if this is his long awaited demonstration on April 1, it will still be a big disappointment for everyone.
Nobody asked to have the availability of the hack, just a simple test that would not compromise his work.
I think he is a prankster or in search of fame, or he wants to get a good sale, but this remains my opinion. nobody can feel offended by this.
I like everyone I hope that the raw video is true but I keep my feet on the ground because all the facts and the lack of evidence deny it.
I can not believe him by divine act of faith, and I discourage everyone from buying an NX1 camera if he believes he is shooting in raw.
Today, for the good of the community, I want to end this discussion to dispel doubts and misunderstandings once and for all.
Break the silence, today show everyone that you have developed a hack to shoot in RAW, even if still under development, share your information and I will send you for free an NXL adapter that is worth 429.00 euros, if you do not, you will prove that I am right.

@lucabutera
I understand...I still will NOT put out something NOT corresponding to my personal criteria. So, be patient, please.
As I understand, you are impatient, I will send you an (crippled) DNG example from an early release from last year. I will post it tomorrow afternoon, so you could get a first idea about my work.
@All
Stop bashing, insulting and any other conspiracy theory, you ALL will eat your words.
It's fine and normal to be sceptical...But after reading some postings of this thread, you will come to the conclusion of "lynch mob". 
As said, NOW I do this for my integrity in the eyes of people knowing my identity. That's all. My interest in sharing my EXPERIENCE and HowTo is completely gone.
Cheers

Just to summarize this thread for any anyone in the future who comes across it before it gets locked.
Arikham claimed to unlock "16bit" Raw video on the NX1. some people believed him while others were extremely skeptical. No proof was provided. After about one week the skeptics demanded proof. Still no proof was provided. The people who believed him defended him. The individual disappeared because he was scared of everyone who demanded he provides proof of his claims. Roll credits with cheesy music...
....
Mathew Hartman went on to start an anti-bullying campaign and was eventually recognized by Melania Trump for his valiant efforts around the world on cyberbullying
Kisaha lost faith in humanity and moved to the woods to live out the rest of his life as a recluse with no contact to the outside world.... He spends all his time trying to hack the NX1 to unlock RAW video.
BTM_Pix opened up an online detective agency.... to this day he still takes on probono cases related to the camera hacks
Arikham was never heard from again
 
Lol, sorry I kinda got lost in my own sorry there.

I'd say equally: you shouldn't at all, but also - never too late for welcoming to club of Jonathan Swift or, say, Alexey German Sr.
Some threads here are evolving as wonderful disclosure of diversity of human characters.
I'm serious - this and some other threads should be considered as very useful movie-making wise. I mean, as potential of very interesting scenario: zoom in here found reasons and hints for antagonisms or alliances, for selfover- and other-under- estimations, for personal affirmations and psychological compensations, for secret passions, hostility and eruptions of competence, for antipathy and sympathy... and one could get relevant introduction to human history and present. That's so much better than boring site whose sterile aim is to oficialy teach someone how to write an script.
So I'm voting not to close such threads so full of actual life and inspiring plays of real personalities.
(Sympathy mentioning: @Matthew Hartman I hope your problems with job and kidney very soon will be a past.)

Well I must admit it is the strangest thread on this Forum by far, Well not too far from the Fuji X-H1 thread either! Has been an interesting couple of weeks on here.
Spring is in the Air I guess? 

The vertical image is a picture.
- 4K video frame size 4000 x 2160 = Downscaling 1800 x 972.
- UHD video frame size 3840 x 2160 = Downscaling 1800 x 1012.
- Downscaling Picture size 6480 x 4320 = Downscaling 1800 x 1200.
The vertical image he has published is exactly 1800 x 1200!
You can not get a 1800 x 1200 pixel from a 4k or UHD video frame!
He has always claimed to have 25fps raw limit from 4k or UHD video.
In addition to this evidence add that the two photos are different in shape and substance, add that the first frame is clearly a h265, add that he is a kid, add that he is waiting for the first of April, add that he has no reason not to publish a test file, add that he is reading these posts and remains silent.
@Kisahahe can make fun you but not me.

Thank you. I think both the pics are JPEG quality (4k in 4-2-8 8-bit, and curiously their exposure seems Pretty Off, visible from how quickly the photo disintegrated when he tried to sell it as a DNG file). That's why his effort at trying to fool us fell flat on his face. The position of the cars and trucks at the traffic signal give it away. Also they are less then 5 seconds apart, as can be noticed from the position of various vehicles and ships/boats in the pic. 
People claiming he is some 12 year old, mentally unsound, undicovered geek, oppressed kid blah blah blah are the ones feeding all the tomfoolery. These members should be given a 1 week ban.
He didn't ask money yet, most likely because, Fortunately a Lot of Members started shouting wolf ! Thank you all the people who remember Sadaawi. 
I am guessing, that otherwise he was planning to make a few quick bucks off a campaign for a RAW hack and some NX1 sales (the Sale for the 31st could have been a Pilot Project with a pushing back of dates, to accomodate a few more sales, sharing more random JPEGs as DNGs).
I wish there was someone from Interpol on EOSHD. He would help bring in a lot of (in)famous people from across various countries. 
There are many ways of improving most pics in post. Also the difference in this case seems minor, at best. 

@KisahaI would like to be in Santo Domingo but unfortunately I'm in Catania, only 1,000 km away from Rome! :-D
I do not have the skills of an investigator, out of curiosity I have a look on Ebay, the only NX1 auctioned on ebay in Europe is in Germany that expires March 31, maybe it's a coincidence or maybe not, until we have concrete evidence we can not know it.
@sanveer Good job, Finally someone with a clear mind! What do you think of the second image published?
Do not you find it strange a video shot vertically, casually with a 4:3 ratio instead of 16: 9, full colors, I think it's a dng picture, not a frame take from video.
@kinoseed Welcome back, as you can see there is someone who claims to have thrown the javelin over your line!
We all hope this is true but nobody has ever seen anything, it's a mystery like Bigfood !! First he shows a blurred picture, then a trail on the ground, while everyone is waiting for the first of April, convinced that he will sprout from behind the bush!
I just want to warn those who think to buy an NX1 camera thinking they have a camera that will shoot Raw video.
If this is the reason to buy the NX1 camera wait to be sure!

... wow.. it's been so long
I really have to catch up with what you are talking about (thanks for the tag by the way).
as far as I recall the "hacks" so far were mostly additional software/scripts which were exploiting some of the camera capabilities which were underutilized.
(that is, with the exception of bitrate change, and messing with which capture size get packed into which preset video encoding)

When it comes to capturing "raw" video, I would say "highly doubtful", as dumping the sensor data (most probably) won't be computationally feasible, and there was no API for dumping raw frames (and digging in the firmware to get that was out of the question).

But hey, even if it's an early April fools day joke, no need for negative energy

 

Thanks for that detective work @BTM_Pix
The situation so far would suggest raw video on the NX1 doesn't exist... at least not yet.
Whoever is trying has my support! @Arikhan is welcome to continue posting his progress, but only if real.
I will soon be locking the thread.

There are way too many strange things. This photo just happens to be one of them. The ships could be in this particular formation during certain times of the day, but the construction crane(s), vehicles at traffic signals etc etc are just a complete giveaway.
 
For someone who is apparently, ahem, struggling with his English, and his early years, his command over language is way more impressive than almost all native english speaking members here. I noticed this in so many posts of his. It couldn't possibly be google translate. I doubt it is that eloquent.

 
 
I guess this keeps getting more exciting. Almost out of an Agatha Christie Novel. 

Good morning everybody!
Today I received a "raw" file in my email from an anonymous person.
The image file not suffer from excessive sharpness but precedes by six days the release date.
https://www.4shared.com/get/HfSyK06oca/raw-nx1.html

The vertical image is a picture.

The boy has already answered many questions, especially now with his silence he gave a clear answer:
He has no proof to show you.
I defended her initially but then at the second image I understood the joke!
Who would shoot a video vertically?
The image has a 4/3 ratio and is downscaled to a 6480 x 4320 = 1800 x 1200 image.
This is not possible in UHD video frames but only in a 4/3 image.
Moreover, the two images are very different, the second image is clearly a 16bit color sampling while the first presents the characteristic defects of the 4.2.0 and codec h265 that can not be justified by the detail captured by the lens.

agreed. It is very simple to answer some specifics of this mod, how it is implemented, what it entails, without divulging anything he wants to keep secret until fine tuning is done. 

I agree we should be polite until more is known.
That doesn't mean to say we don't deserve to know.
Arikahn does need to answer the questions better than he has so far.

Hey, Lucas, It's not even April the 1st yet, you can not wait even for your traditional joke!
