Just did a little test myself.
I have a card, where I cannot use the Log & Transfer tool, since the Card was damaged and had to be recovered.
So, I tried MPEG Streamclip, Grinder & Compressor.
Here is my results:
Grinder’s Luma and Gamma shift is unacceptable – too dark, too saturated.
MPEG Streamclip is surprisingly good for a free application. Slight shifts, but incredibly fast.
Compressor, looks very similar to Streamclip.
I did not experience the cropping though. The compressor showed the same frame, than MPEG, Grinder or the original file.
I still wanna go for 5DtoRGB, since I heard it is the best by far.
