Alex is doing continuously changes on image sizes searching for speed improvements. The version i try has 1920 on 5x but could not be the last word. I compiled the sources.

Like sandisk 45?  I expected that :-(  but it's good to confirm  , because I'm thinking on buy the 64 GB 45 one cause it's a lot cheaper than 95.

These raw videos eat the card :-)

My rates are sustained 39.x, sometimes on a veeeery short lapse 40 ... I think 45=90 for this cam. It's a pity (the bus, the clock bus, ...)

By design, humm.  Well, imho the expected behaviour, the natural one is that changes where reflected on queue.. and it will be more useful.

I download 0.5.3 and I lost all my settings    .  But i've only a few mods :-)  It will be good that the program serialize the settings to a file.


Thanks a lot!!!

marten, a lot of thanks for this software!!!

I found several bugs related to refreshing parameters on last version 0.5.2: the changes of the settings don't reflect inmediately on processing. For example, if I change the video mode with the combo, and I have videos selected on Source panel, the program don't refresh the video settings and the conversion takes place with the old selected settings.

Sometimes the workaround is change settings prior to select the video.

The checks on File label exhibit the same behaviour.

I think its only 6X32 but close enough and not hard to use 60P.

the clusters are 7x32M

1920x720 10" (247 frames) 24 fps override on 5x video mode (compiling latest sources)
1808x678 14" (330 frames) 24 fps override (really no necessary so canon video mode 1920x1080 24 fps gets the same) on 1x video mode

sandisk extreme pro 95 32 GB (FAT32), global draw on with focus peaking

Well, then I try the today's version from 1% repository that includes Alex hack. First try I don't obtain more buffers but now (?) whitout change, I obtain 7 buffers (3 more) automaticaly!!! (only the default memory hack on: new raw_rec menu option), but:
I don't need change iso noise reduction, so I have raw. Video mode OK and playback OK. I don't understand why I cannot obtain more buffers at first try.

I catch it: If photo quality is L, Alex hack don't throws more buffers, if photo quality is raw we get 3 more buffers!!!!

1%, Alex, contratulations once more, this transforms the 6D in a very capable raw video camera.

Buf, well the situations it's a bit confused for the tests. Whe have two improvements at once implemented in SW that provide more buffers:

Today's Alex one "raw_rec: added a memory allocation hack: on 5D3, this brings 2x32M extra " and the previous  (two days?) "multishot noise reduction" from 1%. This one  it's OK in photo mode but I found caveats: no play mode, no simultaneous raw photo , movie mode erratic, change noise reduction on each restart, etc...   

The play mode problem arises for me in every circumstances, for example if I was reviewing the raw video I cannot preview anymore: red light blinking is because of raw preview processing, but no image on screen".


Well, then I try the today's version from 1% repository that includes Alex hack. First try I don't obtain more buffers but now (?) whitout change, I obtain 7 buffers (3 more) automaticaly!!! (only the default memory hack on: new raw_rec menu option), but:
I don't need change iso noise reduction, so I have raw. Video mode OK and playback OK. I don't understand why I cannot obtain more buffers at first try.




 

I've the same problem, I think it's related to memory hack that gets 7 buffers when we go into multiple shot noise reduction.

So, with this hack, no preview is available. It's a pity. I don't know if it will be any workaround.

I've done a lot of experiments changing parameters of the camera, in canon menus, trying different lenses. All over 6D and hot pixels are there with low fps (6 fps for example) with fps override and low light optimization for example. Fast TV also has the problem but less noticeable.

Well, finally we observe a subtle transition on lv image when I go from 1x to 5x or 5x to 1x. For a lapse of 1/2 second or so, the image looks OK after change zoom mode, and suddenly the display view adquires some kind of digital gain and the hot pixels appear (and perhaps the banding issue and other image issues).  If it where possible to deactivate the second behaviour ...

On 550D there are no trace of these issues.















 

Hi, it's necessary to check lv_dispsize in this line of raw_rec.c, to avoid 9/16 desqueeze on zoom modes:

Code Select Expand

static float get_squeeze_factor()
{
    if (video_mode_resolution == 1 && is_movie_mode() && lv_dispsize <= 1) /* 720p and movie mode and not in zoom mode, the image squeezed */
    {...

1%, I've a modified version of last commited raw_rec.c, with some (very tiny) contributions:
* added aspect ratio 2.66
* added horizontal resolutions 1680 and 1720
* added recording start delay menu option to have time to activate stabilization on photo mode
* correct aspect ratio on photo mode if video mode is 720p (the video in photo mode is not squeezed, don't need 9/16 factor)

I compiled the last commits and try the 12 bit thing. It stops after a few seconds. Seems as the buffers where eated quickly... perhaps not cleared?

Also the raw saved as 14bits cannot be processed by current raw2dng.exe at windows. The program crashes. I don't try yet the compiled linux version.

OK, after last commits the two issues were gone!!!

I not found any difference with previous versions (Sandisk Extreme-Pro 95 MB, 32 GB, FAT32 formated in camera):

105 frames 5x in photo mode 1880x680 24 fps (override)
113 frames in photo mode 1880x680 24 fps (override).
208 frames 5x  in photo mode 1600x680 24 fps (override).

Hi, since las saturday commits till today last commits I've found two issues, on the downloadable bins or on the bins compiled by myself.

1) After I take the first raw video, the AF is gone: I can only do manual focusing after that. No AF on "AF-ON" nor the shutter button or whatever button with AF configured into.

2) After previewing raw video, I can no longer do 5x zoom: the magnifier button do nothing. But, as workaround if I activate silent pics burst and after doing a burst, 5x zoom comes alive. I think this was previously reported

And since last builds, the brilliant pixels on fps override on underexposed LV, are gone!!!!. 
Perhaps it's because this commit:

https://bitbucket.org/OtherOnePercent/tragic-lantern-6d/commits/01b2a6799e16989f532086c37131acb4ce7d9c0a

I can't reproduce again, it's a pity.

Seems like 6d has it little bit worst then 5diii

This is because yo have taken it in photo mode with 5x or 10x zoom. It's only 1/2 of screen :-( but this type of pictures are zoomed :-).
