You can extract the files in camera. I can’t recall if they’re extracted as jpegs or raws off hand, but the will be separate files. Still just one at a time though.

THanks I played around with it... it is better (faster) than DPP4 and you can save as raw or jpeg but yup only one at a time... hard to understand why you could not just select all and save all..

I use raw-burst a lot, since I only use electronic shutter. It is a pain in the neck. You can select multiple shots (the tiny buttons next to the right and left arrows), but when you save them, DPP combines them into a single file again. So in the end, the extracted file is a smaller CR3 raw burst file, with fewer shots, but still all shots selected combined. Why would it combine everything into a single file when extracting multiple shots? It is impossible to understand its logic. It is a very poor implementation, and could be easily fixed with an update for DPP. It is also a bummer that Lightroom does not support extraction. Adobe probably has to reverse-engineer the format, and they do not want to spend resources for an unpopular feature.
