Oh RAWanizer just looks like i was looking for THX

@JulianH: The anamorphic Adapter seems to be a nice workaround for 4:3 'ish resolution of the 50D - looks good - tell me .. where did you film the trainstation scenes? Looks very familiar to me

Nice article gives somewhat the feeling it was really woth it spending some night on this

Same "framegrabs" from the weekend - thanks to my slow card i get 2 sec duration at once :/ ( right click + "show image" to see the picture in full size)
1592x840p:

One of the undisturbed frames with 1920 X 720p - processed with UFRAW, no sharpening  - now in jpg
Mind there is some motion blur before you judge.

Another!

Moire is absolutely present! But i think it is okay.


Someone got a good and fast workflow with free software to "expose" the DNG via batch? If so i will make a nice video with all my material!

I created a fork of magic lantern featuring the Raw video for 50D - how to merge with the main project?

Zoom LV with Resolution of 1992X1084 seems to be far less disturbed: http://www.smeangol.com/1992x1084_seq.zip
First few frames are rubbish, the recording ends with some dropped frames due my lame CF Card.

Thanks smeangol, do you have any sample dng of the 1500x1000 "crop".

This resolution belongs to the normal field of view

This is a dng from a "zoomed in like X5 or X10" shot - in this mode you get a 1920 X 1080 style frame - but it doesnt work perfectly :/
The Normal not cropped /zoomed LV mode should ~ 1500 X 1000 work without disturbance.

Updated install instructions here:  http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=9852.0

Raw Video without pink tearing!
Use the module and the autoexec from the first post! Njoy!
@Alex: Thank you for the advice

Now do me a favour and tell me how the 50D performance with some fast cards

Not zoomed in LV works like a charm ~ 1500X 1000 / Zoomed in LV does its nice 1920 X 1080 RAW - however every now and then there are some distorted frames (every 1,5 sec) - lets see what we can do ..

@coutts - The current nightlybuild (21May) won't activate raw video (there is no "M" entry), i tried to compile the current code but then the raw video menu will freeze my 50D .. maybe is has something to do with my compiler (running windows)

@Andy600 - could be .. my CF cards are really lame .. i am only in the hurry to stop the recording before i get skipped frames ..

my status:
I ported the video raw function on the 50D, the result is in the first Post:
To enable you need to copy [Modules]
http://www.smeangol.com/MODULES.zip
to your ML directory on your CF card -
Then go to the ML menu .. at the Top are the different categories .. like movie , debug, etc .. on the right side there will be a "M" .. go there and activate the "modules" -
Then go to the movie menu ..you will have to scroll down until you see new entries. Have fun! Should look like:

P.S. The Nightly build won't activate raw video (there is no "M" entry), i tried to compile the current code but then the raw video menu will freeze my 50D .. maybe is has something to do with my compiler (running windows)

P.S.S: All my raw video look like my sample , silent raw bust doesnt have this issue!

I think i saw something like that in another post - idea how to fix it?

Yes Check for the first post in this Thread
.. all i got here is old 4.4 MB/s CF Card

@Coutts - nice one - i was about to post that i completed the Port ..

If you want to use it right now - take a look on the first post and download the autoexec

The 50D can shoot 1080p at 30p, thanks to ML - the features was implemented by Canon, but absent in the menu.
So the 50D got everything on board.
With FPS override you can bring it down to 24p.

Look in debug menu -> memory. What is total shoot malloc size?

220M - how much the 5Dmk2 and the 5Dmk3 got?
With the patch - it can do the raw silent single and burst thing only.
Anyone wants to continue the port?
Is there a tutorial how to port the raw_video feature?
When i want to "make" "raw_rec" i get this message:

$ make
[ CC       ]   raw_rec.o
raw_rec.c:20:20: fatal error: module.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
/home/Maximilian/magic-lantern/modules/raw_rec/../../Makefile.inc:756: recipe for target `raw_rec.o' failed
make: *** [raw_rec.o] Error 1

Are you able to benchmark your CF card?

With RAW silent picture - the buffer is just filled up, the recording happens afterwards - so CF Card speed wont affect the number of possible frames The cF Card i use is really slow .. maybe 15MB/s ;-)

The 50D is some nice piece of camera ;-)   

Here you are:

www.smeangol.com/50Dsilentraw_normal.DNG - RAW taken when not zoomed in in LV (X5 X10) - 59 pics until buffer is full
www.smeangol.com/50Dsilentraw_Zoomed.DNG - RAW taken when zoomed in in LV (X5 X10) - 53 pics until buffer is full

Since the 50D got a CF Interface, it is a interesting partner for upcoming raw video
www.smeangol.com/autoexec.bin - NOW new with RAW Video!
