Very fine guys are currently porting dual iso in movie mode for 5dmk2! So it will be a matter to find and change the adresses to port this to 7d and 50d ! Keep tuned!

Audio is better recorded by external rigs. Even if it would be possible (and it is not) this would lead to a much lower recording resolution and/or quality. If you want you can post this to the features requests thread but be prepared to be frozen almost instantly by the answers... ;-)

Beware: only in raw module, not mlv raw

Select 23,9 fps so you obtain continuous full hd raw recording, otherwise you cannot keep 30fps for long.

No problems Swarmcatcher. You are welcome. Don't worry: if you follow the few warnings, specifically the ones that say to use full battery to eventually upgrade firmware if needed and to wait before opening the memory slot, then you are ok. No worries to brick 50d with ml: it's a real workhorse! Go with peace of mind and enjoy this marvelous piece of software hack! ;-)

No patience, no willing to inderstand: no real interest. Even know what ML is. It's only a waste of time.

Press preview zoom button until you see x5. Now you are in crop mode

All disabled in canon and ml nenues means global draw off, spotmeter off, histogram off and so on

Yes from what i remember but try the primary option and let me know thanks!

You have first to install the bootflag to the 50d by using the methods described elsewhere depending on card size. Without following my format techniques. Then you can partition and format the card as I described. Then you can transfer the ml files structure to the card by computer. Then insert the card inside 50d and fire it up!

No folders creations needed beside the ml dir structure. This error is because you partitioned the card but not formatted. You jumped over the last instruction passages...

@ Tullen: after formatting with minitool you have to transfer the ml files to the card and then use it inside 50d! The in camera formatting written down is just to show you how slow it is compared to minitool system

Hi guys !

At great request, I'm here to explain how to format your CF card for 50D at his best to obtain the maximum performance on RAW VIDEO.

Card used : komputerbay 64gb 1000x
                  512 Bytes sector size (card bios)
                  64K max allocation unit as FAT3 and as sector size <= 512 Bytes

ML version used : a very old one, so on the new versions the things should be even better. I will test this on new versions and I will report soon !

The trick is to have an "Aligned partition" and to set allocation unit as high as possible (64K is the max, in this case, because camera use FAT3 and the Sector size is less or equal than 512 bytes). How to obtain this ? Simple ! Follow this procedure :

First of all, dowload one of these two tools :

- miniaide free edition partitioner/formatter (miniaide fat32 formatter home edition)

- MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition v8.1.1

With MiniTool (but it is similar also for MiniAide) choose "delete partition" then "create new partition" and choose to create as "logical" and file system "FAT32" and cluster size "64 KB", leave the other options as default and select "OK" and then "apply" and "yes". Then "format partition" and choose file system "FAT32" and cluster size "64 KB", all other options leave as default, then "OK" then "Apply" and "yes". Then "align partition" and "apply" and "yes" only if it accepts it and if it don't tell you that there is no need to align because it's already aligned.

Canon 50D
1920x1080 - 23,976fps - 5x zoom
card warmup 1Gb - GD off - All disabled in ML and Canon menu
only FAT32 supported on camera

FAT32 supports 512,1024,2048,4096,8192,16k,32k,64k
(128k,256k for sector size > 512 bytes)
But sector size is hardware determinated by the CF builder, and cannot be changed by software.

DEFAULT FORMAT ON CAMERA HAS FOLLOWING PARAMETERS ============
cluster size (partitioning)=31k
allocation unit (format)= 32k
80,0 Mb/s constant ML write speed once warmed up
1280 frames recorded as mean value

CUSTOM FORMATTING 1 ====================
cluster size (partitioning)=64k
allocation unit (format)= 64k
81,2 Mb/s constant once warmed up
1600 frames written as mean value

CUSTOM FORMATTING 2 ====================
cluster size (partition)=4k
allocation unit (format)= 64k
81,2 Mb/s constant
1600 frames written

CUSTOM FORMATTING 3 ====================
cluster size (partition)=64k
allocation unit (format)= 1k
35,0 Mb/s constant
80 frames media

All in RAW module, NOT MLV! All Global Draw disabled, card warmup 1gb, beware!

The cards are akways aligned. You must set the buffer to 64 to boost the speed. Also use raw rec and disable global draw

@Grzegorz:: yes, 23.976fps global draw off, video small hack on, card pre-heating on at maximum value, and i format the card off-camera on pc with 64k buffer maximum value. All these parameters makes a gold combination, at least for my experimentations

1920x1080 continuous in crop mode on 64gb lexar and komputerbay 1000x here on 50d latest ml nightly build... no graphics or other things enabled
#19
@reddeercity: many thanks! So I will definitely buy a 1066x CF! Also, do you (or others) know if the fastest 1066x CF card is the 32, 64 or 128 gb model? This is crucial in my choice! Many thanks again and in advance!
#20
Do 5d MkII will benefit in raw video recording with ML using a 1066x CF card instead of a 1000x CF card ? Does anyone tested this ?

How did you manage to load ml on a 128gb card with 7d? However kb cards are known to be slow and or defective in sone parts. A full scan of the card with verificatoon tools is recommended
#22
With 5d2 latest build (and on in the future) do it is benefic to upgrade from 1000x CF to 1066x (and over) for more recordable raw video frames or do it worth not the expense? Do someone have comparations at hand? Many thanks!

@Walter: good idea but... if Canon will release another fw, ml will have to update to it! It is not for the last... imagine how many time it will require for another one... eheh!
