My Raw BlackMagic Footage has Green Pixelate Bars in Davinci

I went out on Hollywood Blvd yesterday to take some raw footage on my new BMCC. I brought it home and put the raw dng files into Davinci Resolve and I see the weird pixelated green bar on ALL of my footage. I have no idea what it is or how to fix it. If I look at the DNG pictures in the folder there isn't a green pixelated bar or if I bring them into photshop or lightroom nothing, only in Davinci. I really don't know what to do. HELP because that was part of the reason I bought the BMCC is to use it on davinci. I have attached a picture of the problem and on some of the footage it is on there a lot more. If I am not able to use Davinci is there another way I can convert then edit my raw footage?

Would you please share 1 or 2 actual dng files with us? no need for the entire folder. Zip a couple of them and share them with us.

This is what I get on my system.
An unfortunate possible diagnosis is that you graphics card not beefy enough to handle the footage natively.
Try to do the following:
in the master project settings try enabling optimized display setting,
in the general settings try enabling "don't update interface icons on playback"

What are your system specs?

Yeah that might be it...my graphics card is a vegan (not saying that anything is wrong with being a vegan :?)
I have an iMac
Radeon HD 4670 Video Card
12GB of Memory
CUDA Driver Version: 5.5.24

Yeah looks like the GPU is struggling.

Resolve only has limited support for ATI cards on the Mac.

Is your timeline 2.5k? If so have you tried grading the footage in a 1080p timeline?

No the timeline is 1080p...yeah I am looking into getting a new graphic card now...I've been on google, youtube, and all other blogs resulting in nothing. All I want to do is turn my dng files editable.

You are not using a supported system. The HD 4670 is not a supported GPU.

A few posts have mentioned that the Mac App store version of Resolve Lite supports HD4600 GPU's better than the BMD web site version of Resolve Lite. You might try that. But I suspect your iMac is just not going to work with Resolve.

Also, for AMD/ATI GPU's, you need to use OSX 10.8.4. 10.7.5 and 10.6.8 will not work with AMD/ATI graphics chips/cards and Resolve.

I don't believe you can change the graphics in an iMac. And you can't use a graphics card in an expansion chassis, as OSX does not currently support that.
