Hello,
I'm reading through the forum to get and answer but I can't find an answer to my problem.
I succesfully installed ML firmware on my Eos 5D Mark II camera.
I loaded the modules:
   file_man
   mlv_play
   mlv_rec
   mlv_snd
   pic_view
   raw_rec

On video tab, I enabled Raw rec (put to ON).

Then, every time I make a video, I only find MOV files (file size also is definetly NOT of a raw file) :)

I activate video recording in this way.
In M Mode I press liveview button.
Trash button to access ML menu.
Video tab, check Raw rec ON.
Press again Trash button.
Press SET to start recording.

Do *not* load mlv_rec  and raw_rec module at the same time. Just use mlv_rec (and mlv_snd, mlv_play).

Thank you for your answer, but no luck so far :(

I unloaded the raw_rec module, restarted the camera.
Now I have MLV ON and FPS override at 24.976.
On my card I only have small MOV files.

Moreover, I set shutter t 1/50 and ISO at 200, but when I press SET it goes to 1/33 and ISO AUTO.
So my exposition changes continuosly.
I don't know what other can I change.
I'm using the latest nightly build.

You have to turn mlv recording to on before filming. It,s in the menu.
You really have to dig in to stuff and press/play/read/test. It,s all very simplified to the user but it takes a while to get into it all.

What does the menu help text say when you enable raw video?

In general, if anything else needs set up for some ML option to work, the help text will tell you.

LuxMax

Thank you...
So your answer is basically "read the manual".
Well... I've already done that, loaded the modules, turned on the modules, configured the modules, tried, read again, tried again.
Ok... I'll figure it out somehow...

What does the menu help text say? Write it down, here, or upload a screenshot.

LuxMax

Sorry.
I've reinstalled everything again and followed the same procedure.
Now I have the MLV files.

The help text says: "Record 14-bit RAW video. Press SET to start"

Strange thing is, on the RAW video (MLV) submenu, on the resolution option, I can only choose:
640 960 1280 1600 1920 and on...

If I choose 1920 it automatically downscale to 1845x1044, but this way I cannot choose the suggested 1728x972 resolution.

Choose any resolution in the submenu. Afterwards you should be able to adjust the resolution in finer steps by pressing the joystick either to the left or the right. We are aware that we should improve the documentation here a bit ;) It's not obvious for end users.

Thank you.
I'm getting used to ML and it's wonderful!
