The use of the backspace icon for delete bugs me. Why not just a stylised trash can?

HDRx takes two exposures like every other camera, with its electronical shutter it is just possible to take them with no time inbetween at all - which makes joining the two exposures much easier (optical flow interpolation to match parts of the image that moved do the rest).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that exactly what jossef is describing? ML just can't do it because you can't prevent the physical shutter from triggering.

It sounds like you're describing HDRx. So, it's definitely possible, but unlikely in the context of ML given the software limitations of Canons.

[all my videos are muted!]

I love RAW but all my videos are muted!  I will not carry additional recording audio because it is too complex for wildlife videos.  I really would love to have this implemented or to bring back the out of synch video-audio option.  There is a lot of people like me that could use it!  Not all video recording is done in a studio!

Then you'll have to wait. RAW video is after all still experimental.

I think the easiest workflow to be implemented as a stopgap would be to shoot a JPG or CR2 before recording, and have the RAW to DNG converter receive an optional filename argument for a JPG or CR2 file to copy the EXIF from. Since you're shooting with the same lens, same zoom, same iso, the EXIF should mostly match up with the relevant settings/parameters for the RAW video.

No suggestion should EVER end with, "...I have no idea how it works."

It's not a suggestion, it's an explanation of the feasibility of a suggestion that was mentioned earlier.

Because if we will change skipped lines every frame (tik-tak) may be we can achieve interlaced HD on this camera?
Why not? It will have 1920x540 each frame, and may be somehow we will fit into bandwidth limitation, but with interlaced  HD raw video.

If there's a raw buffer of sufficient size available, it might be possible to memcpy with a stride double the frame width, which will effectively skip half the lines. By offsetting the start of the read by the width of one line, you can then alternate odd/even lines. Not sure if that is possible with EDMAC though, I have no idea how it works.

The only big advantage of the 650D is the on-sensor AF, meaning autofocus during live view / movie mode is possible. That's pretty much it.

This is probably the wrong forum to ask that question, but yes. The T3i gives you 1620x1080 (3:2 aspect) 30fps live video. The image has black bars on the left and right that you will need to crop out. However, since the video mode used is 1080i, the progressive frames often end up shifted one field, making it impossible to use the video feed as a straight up 30p source without some sort of deinterlacing or field shift removal.
