I was starting to think this might be the only possible option as well.

I would still find that strange though, i'm bypassing canons image importer and just browsing the contents as you would a normal drive... unless the drivers which are connecting the cam to the pc are selective like that as well.....   

guess i'll nip out and get a CF card reader and see if that does the trick!

Thanks for the reply!  I just thought i'd double check but no all hidden files are set to be shown so it must be something else.  Very odd as just after recording a few test files windows does show the card as having '2gb used' it just doesn't show any files at all, nor gives any indication of any files being there and hidden. Just empty and 0 files....    I'm trying to find a thread i was readin about the aug 2nd build but i think that was to do with a problem converting the files......  not finding them in the first place!  - I am just connecting the camera with a USB cable....... surely that wouldn't be selective in which files it would show right!?

Hi.  Although i really do hate posting 'help me' questions i've just spent the best part of an hour searching these forums to see where i might be going wrong and can't find anything, although i suspect someone here will have a simple answer.

I just installed the Aug 6th build on the Mark III - It all seems to be working fine apart from one small thing. After doing a few test records in RAW mode, i connect the camera up, browse into the 100EOS5D directory and there's nothing there. I did a HDR test and that MOV appeared fine. Also a h264 video appeared in there. It just seems to be the RAW ones that don't appear...... 

Also must be noted that using the file manager module through the camera DOES show RAW files there... which is why im so confused as to not being able to copy them off the card - its definitely recording... .  Its a Lexar 1000x by the way, and ML is booting off the separate SD.  Could this be a weird window problem and i might need specific software to even see the raw files? Not had that problem with raw stills off the camera before......

Any quick help appreciated. 

Just wondering how many people have tried out this latest Aug 6th Build and know if it's better? Heard Aug 2nd version was a bit ropey.  Also a lot of people saying July 22nd was working nice.  Anyone have a download link to that version handy?  Thanks!

Damn. I've accidentally posted a troll question!

But seriously after reading more on the forum the past 2 days I totally understand about the effort people are putting in, even to get the Mk III 1.1.3 version to a stable release.  Which kind of brings me to a small follow up question...  I ran into this tutorial for installing ML on the Mk III >>>  http://www.eoshd.com/content/10352/easier-5d-mark-iii-raw-guide-in-4-steps

Is this a legit way of doing it? Seems like he's using the default build off the EOScard utility which i thought was only for Mk II? 

Almost installed it yesterday but then got a bit confused with what seems like 3 different ways of doing it.  As far as i can tell (in simple terms) you make an SD card bootable using EOScard - install firmware in camera - get enablebootflag msg - then just restart and hit trashcan button. 

Thanks for the reply Redrocks!  Guess i'll downgrade and then.  Is the 5d mk III version considered pretty much stable now then? Heard of anyone having issues with it? Obviously its a new cam for me so don't want to risk destroying it at all so soon!

No one has any info on this at all? Would be good to know if a 1.2.1 version is worth waiting for at all or not, in which case i'll just downgrade to 1.1.3 right now!

Hi everyone.  I've just got the Mark III and have been looking into Magic Lantern which obviously looks quite awesome.  Seeing how i've just got the camera though i'm ok for now just learning how to use it and get comfortable with the features it has at present before upgrading it and getting all the benefits of raw. 

I'm just curious as to whether a 1.2.1 compatible version is on the horizon? I'm aware that it only works on 1.1.3 at the moment and will downgrade if necessary when the time comes but i imagine newer versions are being released quite often and i'm not in a massive rush

Cheers
