CANON 50D- My Mercedes Raw test shoot video

Here's a another quick test of the Magic Lantern Raw firmware on my Canon 50D.
I wanted to see how much I could push the contrast and shadows, but still maintain visibility of the subject ( in this case, car) I was filming.
Camera: Canon 50D with Magic Lantern Raw firmware
Lens: Tokina 11-16mm
Workflow: RAWMagic, AE, ACR, Final Cut
Latest Build: https://bitbucket.org/GregoryOfManhattan/magic-lantern/downloads/magiclantern-2013Jun28.50D.109.go.unified.3ecd254bdba1.zip

Question, should i be formatting my card in camera or from the card reader using macboot, to get the best possible speed. I use Komputerbay 64gb 1000x.

I've been formatting in camera and never got speeds higher then 63 ( following the methods advised, GD off etc etc...), untill i used the small hacks. which boosted me up to around 75. I see alot of you getting speeds of 80 to 81. i also tried turning off the the timers, but for some reason that option is not listed in my debug list.
Note: Using very latest build.

@1%

Can you or anyone point me in the right direction regarding disabling the timer.  I have looked for it in debug  as mention, but none in my list say timer. I'm using the most current Greg build.
Thank you!

Thanks for posting the updated build, it worked.

But i have another issue that i have noticed recently. When i connect my Marshall 5inch HDMI  monitor i get the pink corrupt frames, not in the normal video record mode, but as soon as i engage Raw modules.

One of the earlier mid June builds was fine at first but now all of the builds are giving me that same issue.
The strangle thing is once i unplug  the HDMI monitor, the build works fine in Raw record. Do  you or any of the Devs know why is the case and is it a possible fix?
It's such a plus to be able to have the HDMI monitor especially when using my camera rig.
Thanks for your time!

@GregoryOfManhattan,
Ok I will update to the new build you have recommended. Thank you very much!

@GregoryOfManhattan

I just updated to the latest unified build https://bitbucket.org/GregoryOfManhattan/magic-lantern/downloads/magiclantern-2013Jun24.50D.109.go.unified.d07dab0ba6c2.zip

But for some reason with this latest unified build, the modules won't load and I'm getting an Err  next to each module where it's normally and ok.
I haven't had this happen before. Is there a different protocol for this latest unified to run?
