Why Convert MRW to MP4?
MRW is Minolta's proprietary RAW image format used by Dimage digital cameras (Dimage 5, 7, A1, A2, A200) and early Konica Minolta models. These cameras were popular among enthusiast photographers in the early 2000s. Converting MRW photos to MP4 creates universally playable slideshows and timelapses from these legacy RAW files.
Since Minolta was acquired by Sony in 2006, MRW is a discontinued format with limited software support. Converting to MP4 video preserves these photos in a format viewable on any device, making it ideal for archiving old photo collections or creating memorial slideshows.
Minolta Cameras Using MRW

| Dimage A1 | 5 MP | 5–10 MB |
| Dimage 7Hi | 5 MP | 5–10 MB |
| Dimage 5 | 3.3 MP | 3–7 MB |
| Maxxum 7D | 6 MP | 6–12 MB |
Frequently Asked Questions
Which cameras produce MRW files?
MRW was used by Minolta Dimage cameras (5, 7, 7i, 7Hi, A1, A2, A200) and Konica Minolta Maxxum/Dynax 5D and 7D. Production ended in 2006 when Sony acquired the camera division.
Can I create a timelapse from MRW photos?
Yes. Upload your MRW sequence, select "Merge images," and set a short duration (0.1–0.5 seconds per frame).
What resolution should I use?
For web sharing, 1080p is standard. "Keep original" preserves the full MRW resolution (up to 3264×2448 for 8MP sensors). Since these are older, lower-resolution cameras, 1080p is usually sufficient.
Will converting lose RAW editing flexibility?
Yes. RAW sensor data is baked into the video frames. Edit MRW files in Adobe Lightroom, RawTherapee, or Darktable first, then convert.
What software can open MRW files directly?
Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop (Camera Raw), RawTherapee, Darktable, IrfanView (with plugins), and XnView MP all support MRW files via the LibRaw library.
