Hi, I've been playing around with the film option on my 50d. I kind of love it at the moment :-) The only thing I noticed, like I was told on the Magic Lantern web page, that the battery will drain very fast.
Now I was wondering, is it possible to solve this problem within ML, or is it really a hardware issue? ( I guess it is a hardware issue ;-))
I was thinking, if this can't be solved. Maybe it is possible, as a work around, to just write raw frames at 30fps, and do the video encoding on the computer? This way, there is no encoding to be done on the camera and might prevent battery drain and possible overheating.
I think this might be a cool feature even for camera's other than the 50d.
Maybe it's not possible and might have been suggested before, but I'm just sharing my thoughts :-)
Thanks.

Processing needs power ;)
Yes, but, would just storing the raw frames not be much more cpu efficient?
