Raw video on 5DMK2

[t2scorp]

Do you have a source? I am in doubt buying an 600x or 1000x card depending on the performance diff.

Source is coutts. Just read all posts from him and hmm the rest like I did.

Hi!
I plan to test the new feature on the mk2 this evening (gmt+1), but I didn't understand if the resolutions you are talking about are taken using the full area of the sensor or cropping it to 1:1 pixel.
Unfortunately until the next week I'll have only a slow old sandisk cf..

thank you!

Thanks for the info: Although it might help nothing to little, I am still going to buy a 1000x card because I might get a 5d3 one day. (but still hoping there is some sort of optimization possible on the 5d2)

Would be good to see when someone gets 1080 working how it compares to 5d3, I suppose the difference is aa filter?

5DMII with / without AA filter

Hi,
I tested my new fresh transcend 1000x 32Gb and i can't record raw video beyond 65mo/s.
I saw many people recorded full 1920x1080 with 5dM3, but with the last raw build, and with this card, I do 1880x840 max with dropped frames at 300.
Is there any record limitations with 5dM2 compared to 5dM3.
I know it's just an alpha and there's no official nightly build.

Does anybody has achieved better results ?

this is about how good I can get too.. seems the cf interface is slower on the 5d2. 1880x720 can record infinitely (until file size limit).

[savale]

There are no better results achieved yet. It might be impossible for the 5d2 or maybe a matter of time. I do hope for 1920x817 @ 24fps RAW one day
Since it's close it might be possible with some more optimization. I will look into the raw rec code myself to so if there is optimization possible

[coutts]

5d2
Lexar 1000x
1880x720 (records continuously)

pretty good imo - look at that pollen floating through the air!

@coutts @savale,

Thanx for your reply, amazing job was done since few days.
I'm sure that it will be done quickly.
There's great talents around...

Cheers to all involved..

To be clear I am not yet involved into coding, but looking into the code new because I am curious and might be able to help

Hi everyone,
I'm really confused, because this morning I shot in RAW mode 1280x720 without any problems, now I tried, same res, same CF card(empty one as this morning), but it continued to give me dropped frame.

I'll try some other tests.

Do you have global draw disabled? Did you try formatting the card?

Anyone know where to get the 5d2 raw_rec, the link seems to be down for the one posted by 'coutts'?

Cheers!

Oops, thanks! Got it all installed okay.

1440x810 (16:9)
1440x778 (1.85:1)
1600x865 (1.85:1)
1600x900 (16:9)
1880x787 (2.39:1)

I really like this idea! Can anyone do it?
Thanks!

Does anyone else have magenta blocks tearing randomly on the footage on 5D2? Trying to figure out why that is happening.

I only have that before the clip ends more or less at the moment when I go to the menu to stop the recording.

New compilation:

Noticed subtle verticle lines in the footage, early days though I suppose. Thanks for the help getting it working.

Not really anything we can do about noise and stuff like that.. that is what the camera makes.

The drops/pink blocks need a fix however.

I used the latest stable build of magic lantern and just copied the MODULES folder into the ML folder and replaced AUTOEXEC

I am getting consistent recording 1880x840 on the 5D MK2 (until file size limit) with a Lexar 32gb 1000x card.

wat, i have the same card and I can only do about 300 frames at that resolution before it starts dropping frames. Do you mean continuously as in no dropped frames?

Yeah, continuously. The Raw2DNG module only reported 1 dropped frame out of 1505 frames and I believe it was toward the end just before it stopped automatically. I am working on compiling the video right now.

It's strange because I have a 16gb Lexar of the same speed and it can't record 1880x840 past 300 frames.

16 GB cards are usually slower than 32 GB and higher capacity cards.
