UPDATE

To anybody having the same issue, for Mac at least, I found a great app called MLV APP, let's you edit the raw MLV video in app and export to other formats, SO HAPPY, cheers to you guys

here's the link for may 2020 https://mlv.app

Hey guys,

I know this topic has been posted before but today May 2020 all the existing threads are obsolete because all the software like RawMagic, raw2dng, cr2hdr, ML Raw viewer 1.3.3, mlv_dump (can't find a proper application of this one, just code as an exec?)  they all aren't working for me and I've been on this website for 5 hours now just trying to find a way to see and edit my raw videos (and a way to view/edit the double ISO shots too but I care more about the video) with no luck.

If anybody has a link to a simple MLV to DNG/CDNG/TIFF/any usable format converter, I would IMMENSELY appreciate it.

I had three major issues with each piece of software I downloaded, either Mac OS tells me they are 32-bit and are no longer supported,
they download and run, but say they don't support the MLV files I try to import (tried 14 bit, 12 bit, and 10 bit, no luck), or don't even recognize the mlv files at all.

Note: I tried both  mlv_rec  and    raw_rec in camera, with different resolutions, bit rates, picture styles, ya name it.

I'm using build raw video 12 bit 10 bit for canon 6d, the link today is  https://builds.magiclantern.fm/6D-116.html

Thanks again for taking the time to read I really hope somebody can help to at least send whatever they're using on Mac OS Catalina to convert the raw files.

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum so sorry if I'm not posting in the right place.

I have a canon 6d and I successfully installed the raw video 10 bit 12 bit build,

I have 3 questions

1. At the moment I try to set the recording resolution to 1920/24fps (on 14bit), but it says "1920 is not posible in current video mode(max 1824) and so it's currently on 1824x1026 obviously. (it says at 14bit it's at 74.8mb/s , which I know the 6d has max 40mb/s write speed to card natively)
The thing is that even if I lower the bit rate to 10 bits, the resolution still maxes out at 1824x1026, but says 53.4mb/s. (which should be ok for a few seconds as the buffer takes the other 13 mb's, right?)

So my question is why does lowering the bit rate (and therefore mb/s being outputted) NOT give more headroom for higher resolution? all it did was extend the amount of time I can record without skipping frames. what is the value I have to change to get higher resolution, what video "mode" is it talking about?

2. I'm thinking the best solution is the UHS/SD card overclock module I've read about in the forums, but can't find the actual module/download link/build ANYWHERE, on site or off. (I know there's risk involved but thats the whole thing with ML we're already risking it) so if anybody could link me to it, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I imagine having the 60mb's write speed could be what the camera needs to bump up the resolution? at least to 2240 and I'd be a happy camper.

3. So I'm currently recording in 1824x1026 10bit, and I switched the aspect ratio to 1: 2.39 (I did this because in the menu as I did this it said it estimates 39.8mb/s, which as I understand is under the 40 mb's cap, therefore allowing continuous shooting if I'm correct, and it also said "Expect 0 frames at 27 mb/s, which I have no idea what that's supposed to mean) So anyway it says 39.8 mb/s estimated (and the camera should also have the 250mb on the buffer too to compensate any overage over 40 if I'm not mistaken?) Ok so the thing is I also have the buffer graph/monitor on in live view and it says it's usually using about 27-30mb/s when I'm actually recording video and it stays like that through the recording, UNDER what it estimated... YET it still starts to skip frames at approximately 18 seconds, my question is again, WHY? 39.8 and 27-30 are both under the 40mb/s cap, it shouldn't even be going onto the buffer,  so what am I missing here exactly?

I tried the 5 different buffer methods (which I don't understand either) and still, skipped frames at approximately 18 seconds

Thanks so much for any help and excuse the long post I'm new to this, cheers! Thanks to the ML team for what you've accomplished thus far, just a noob trying to understand.
