Many thanks for fixing this feature. I long ago sold our 5D3s & have given up filming weddings but it's nice to know that work still continues on fixing ML.
Etiquette, expectations, entitlement...

It seems that we now only get Nightly Builds with no attempt to freeze features & debug a definitive version. I know that this RAW video & Dual ISO stuff is really exiting for the developers but for those of us using the 5D3 for paid event work having Movie Restart would be far more useful. The current versions are more polished but I would be perfectly happy just to have only the features in the Alpha 3 version with Movie Restart added. Zebras, peaking & extra Info display like GB free on card is such an improvement over stock firmware that it keeps me happy enough but knowing that Movie Restart is possible & was working is very frustrating.
I used it once back in March. It worked then.
Quote from: a1ex on August 11, 2013, 06:50:54 PMI was shooting a wedding last Friday with ML on two 5D3s. Movie Restart was On but during the ceremony both stopped at 29'59". I really just wanted to know if it is supposed to work. I was assuming that it should be working otherwise what is the point in having the setup menu option? If failure to restart is a bug then I'd like to notify it as such so perhaps someone will take a look at fixing it.
TBH, I never had the patience to wait for half an hour to see if it really works.
Quote from: scrax on January 19, 2013, 04:47:59 PMThat external recorder, if imported to EU, has to pay the tax since it will record more than 29'59". That's why Canon don't have to pay the import tax even with clean output.No clean HDMI output does not make it a video camera because the camera itself will not record >30 minutes of video. You could record the clean video stream with a computer & capture card & no duty for any recording equipment would be liable.
Quote from: a1ex on January 08, 2013, 09:43:06 AMAuto restart is exactly what it says. It restarts recording after a short break but it does not remove the 30 recording minute limit as e.g. the GH2 hack does. It's exactly the same as if you press the record button again immediately after recording stops. How can there be any objection to that?
As mentioned a few times, this feature is surrounded by some legal uncertainity. On 5D3 and probably on all DIGIC V cameras, the only purpose of this feature would be to bypass the 30-minute legal limit (because Canon already removed the 4GB one). Bring some lawyers to prove that it's OK, and I'll enable it.
