It depends on your frame rate. For 30 fps it's 74 MB/s, for 24 fps it's 59 MB/s I think. But, the camera has internal memory and can handle some frames before writing them on the card. So you can have some seconds of high resolution video even on a slow card. If your card was fast enough, the video recording would be continuous.

Aha! that's the answer. It was 30fps & 74MB/s is what I got. Can't wait to shoot for real & get active on the forum. I've been lurking since about page 5!

The buttons along the bottom don't work at all, from before ML, but ML & Raw works, that'll do for playing, if things get serious I'll get another one/repair.

Thanks, Akumiszcza & GoldenChild

also: ML team is AWESOME!

50D is an awesome camera glad your using it now.  First of all that card you using (133X) is way too slow to handle Continuous Raw Recording.  Get yourself a Komputerbay 64GB card that, that card is a goto card for Raw recording from the 50D all the way up to the 5D Mark III.  About your power button, or switch not turning off the camera I think that's a hardware problem, not software you should probably take it to a camera shop to get it looked at.  Here is a simple test does it turn off when your not running Magic Lantern?

Thanks for the reply, the card is just what came with the camera till i get my Komputerbay card. But what's with the speed I reported, is my math wrong & where?

I need to borrow your brains.

I finally got little bit of time to try out my 50d (just to make sure I hadn't bought a dud). I'm trying to work out what data rate I shot. My .RAW file is 215.2 MB and i shot 87 frames what is the data rate? My math puts that at 74MB/s but I shot it on a 133x card that came with the camera, am I missing something? I'm using 11th July unified.

Also my camera won't turn off, the on/off switch does nothing, any ideas?

I've been trying to simultaneously buy a 50d & work out the worst case scenario (which at the time was raw being unusable for some reason).

Can anyone tell me their first hand experience of working with 50d H.264 footage from the latest stable version? Is it exactly the same as rebel H.264 footage.

I'll probably use this as a B-cam more often than for raw video. Is there anything i need to know.

Lightroom will do the job, but neat video is also really good. But I see some strange thing in your video:

1) Are these a few loops?
2) I see flickering... But this might have to do with issue 1.

Yes. I looped it since the clip was quite short. I think the flickering is to do with a brighter part of the sky looping in & out of frame.
Compression seems to be hiding some of the issues, my original export has far more moire. For me that will be the last piece of the puzzle.


BTW i don't have lightroom (got my eye on creative cloud though). I used color finesse in AE, exported to DNxHD for viewing & compressed to H.264 720p for vimeo.

More DNG's as much as you can!

I'm trying to find the best way to work with these files. What is everyone doing for noise & moire? Neat video? Lightroom?

I want to regrade this to get a cleaner look.

Grading test.

I did a similar grade - great minds think alike! No sharpening on mine though - I think it has a smoother look without.
