Here's my first attempt at shooting RAW. The workflow is a lot bigger, but worth every second I think!

Shot in 1088x480 @ 24 frames per second with a 16GB Sandisk Extreme 45mb/s.

That's not my work, dude. Thanks to devs, A1ex & co. )
Also thanks to mk11174, who made this great tutorial for code-starters )

Watch it, and then you'll can easily add whatever resolutions you want, and much more (that's exactly what i've done: just added a couple of numbers to raw_rec.c file).
At it best, you will want to dig in, and hopefully find some interesting ideas about memory allocation, buffering and other delicious stuff... So welcome aboard )

Ah, didn't realise, sorry! I'll certainly give that a watch, thanks man!

In this mode 1280x426 (3:1)
With this build i can get 1100-1200 frames with sandisk 45, and 1640-1650 with sandisk 95, so there is again difference in about 50%.
I think there are more things going on besides just writing speeds here.

Excellent work dude, amazing!  Is there any plans to add 1088 as a resolution to future builds?

You did a great job: things that appear blurred are blurred by lens and wanted as is, because the sand touched by waves and waves on the horizon are very crisp and detailed, so upscaling is very good indeed ! Very good, compliments !

Thanks, man. Appreciate the kind words! 

How did you upscaled it ? What you used ?

I put the 1088x480 footage into a 720p sequence in Premiere and simply 'scaled to comp' and then my entire edited sequence into a 1080p sequence and used Instant HD and upscaled it to 1080p. Looks alright I think, though I'd probably just stick to 720p next time.

RAW > RAW2DNG > 14-bit DNG's > Adobe Camera Raw > .tif image sequence > Adobe Premiere CS6 > upscaled to 1080p > rendered out to .H264

Exactly  ! Then, download the modules (the very next download, just right under it) and follow instructions, so you can choose what build works better for your purpose (the "tragic lantern" or the "magic lantern" one) 

That's awesome, thanks a lot buddy! 

[1] Yes
[2] The last... obvious !  ;-)

haha, thanks man!

So this one?

Another build with the help of Xaint getting us a bit more memory for recording, I am getting much more frames before skipping now with 1280x432x24p 193 frames to be exact, was only getting 86 before his hack.

This also includes Alex's latest bitbuckit update, gives us more resolution choices looks like and a mem hack but doesnt seem to help our cam at all.

This includes Filemanager as will, you can find in the Debug menu.

Are the latest builds the ones on the first page of this thread? Which one do people seem to be having the most luck with?

the settings where:
tragic lantern raw module, mem hack on, 1152x432 @ 23,9 fps, transcend class 10 32 GB,  1920x1080 24 fps video mode, no 5x zoom (it always stops after 70 frames in zoom mode)

Sorry for my naivety, but could you explain how you got the memory hack on the tragic build? Also, is the 'no 5X times' just disabling the 5X from when the zoom button is pressed to check focusing?

Footage looks great though, the water looks so good!

maybe your card is not real sandisk extreme, there are some kirfs on the market. have you checked the speed with usb 3.0 card reader (if you have)

I'm using what they're using, nothing special. I don't do modifications lately. you can find the zip file on 20th or 21st page

I think it is, I bought it in store rather than online. I'll run some tests on it later though to see!

Do people have any tips/advice? I've been reading about people having photo 'M' mode set to jpeg, rather than RAW - does that make a difference? Also, does it matter if the camera is in 1080p or 720p? I'm using FPS override to set it to 23.976 anyway

I had 2 550Ds (now have one) always used different versions of them with same SD cards (sandisk extreme series, 30MB/s and 45MB/s) never get what you've experiencing. maybe someone else can answer your request.

Which build are you guys using? I don't seem to be able to get as high a res, or aspect ratio as most people here, despite having a fairly decent card?

first of all, its sandisk.

second, try adjusting framerates. you're using 24p or 30p.

Ah, my bad.

It worked for a bit last night recording 24p @ 960x480 with a 2:1 aspect ratio.
I've just tried it at 22fps and nothing, same problem. Everything I try results in those weird artifacts/corruptions.

EDIT: Just tried 12fps and it seems to have worked, apart from a slight glitch on one frame. I don't get why it'd be glitching if my settings were below 20mb/s write?

Got a strange issue going on. This is what I get when I convert my RAW file to DNG's. They look like this;



I've tried formatting the card, removing magic lantern from both the camera and the card, re-installing it, and different builds. I'm using a Scandisk Extreme 45mb/s card, too.

Any ideas?
