Hi folks,

I know this is not the right place for this, but is related to raw and I'll be quick, promise.
I'm applying for this scholarship contest in the "3D and visual effects" course at Vancouver Film School, and I've made a 90 seconds video using my 7D and Magic Lantern RAW to participate. In the video, there's some 3D tracking and special effects (RAW helped a lot with this).
If you have some time, please watch the video - and if you like it - please vote for me, ok?

Thank you guys very much.

I used the latest build in a real production!
It was a video-clip for this brand that sells a brazilian sweet called "Brigadeiro", kind of a chocolate truffle.
Recorded in RAW format, continuously at 2:1@23,976fps, maximum resolution of the non-crop mode.
It was amazing. Got no problems at all, and the image quality is epic. When I needed to review the clips, I just used the Drastic player on my notebook - in location, no conversion needed.
Thanks Magic Lantern community, you are the best.

Hi! I didn't receive the e-mail also... Looking forward to test (and maybe buy!) this software!

Nice! Did you use the "Mosaic VAF-filter"? This is the first 7D raw-video I've seen without aliasing or moire (or maybe its in crop-mode?)

No, I did not use the filter. And it is not in crop mode 
I was able to remove some of the moire using the "remove chromatic aberration" options in adobe's raw loading interface, but I think that my lens being a little dirty helped too, hehehe

Nice video, what render resolution setting you use for Vimeo? as is? or 1280x720?

Thanks! I upscaled the clips to 1920x816px.

Nothing explains better the situation than this animated GIF!
Thanks Britom for this post with the latest builds.
Done some test shoots with my 7D as well:

Thanks, guys. Real credits goes to Britom, he discovered the edmac issue.
Arrinkiiii, the new features are available in hudson's repo, I believe? I should try later to compile from there and see if it works.
Morning here in Brazil, gonna make some test clips now! 

Yeah!!! Good to know it works on other 7Ds!

Sure, Britom!
I followed this guide, using virtualbox and linux (I had problems with cygwin, so I decided to go Linux):

Instead of cloning the mercurial repo showed in the video, I cloned Pelican's one.
But then when I tried to compile for the 7D, it gave me some errors.
To fix them, I had to edit Makefile.user and the Makefiles inside the 7D.203 folder, guided by some posts in the ML forum for every error I got in compilation.
Finally got it compiled and working, but with liveview and 600px limitations. Then I tried Britom's change, compiled again and Voila!
I can post the files I've modified from Pelican's code if you want to.

I think they aren't needed. They appeared on my card after I used EOSCard and some other procedures to install ML, so I left those there ever since. But I don't think they're needed. 

[- My liveview does not freeze anymore- The captured frames are not glitched/corrupted, I tested many times, all ok- Now I can record more than 600px vertical resolutions without errors in the image!- Maximum res I recorded continuosly was 1472x828- Maximum res I recorded not continuosly was 1728x972- Using crop mode, I can record (not in silent picture, raw_rec!) around 200 - 300 frames in 2.5k, without glitches and frame corruption beyond the 600px limit, no problem at all!]

Hi guys,

I have a 7D since 2010 and I'm new to Magic Lantern.
A week ago I dicovered this wonderful community/forum and decided to install ML on my 7D. Since then, I have been following this thread every day, trying to do RAW video with my 7D.
I was having all the problems like the freezing live view and the 600px limit.
But, as I have a little experience in programming, I decided to clone pelican's version and take a shot at modding and compiling it by myself. Took some time to make it work, and I used britom's discovery of changing the line "uint32_t edmac_write_chan = 0x11;" to "uint32_t edmac_write_chan = 0x04;" on the edmac-memcpy.c file.
Compiled, copied to my card, and VOILA, had some surprises:

- My liveview does not freeze anymore
- The captured frames are not glitched/corrupted, I tested many times, all ok
- Now I can record more than 600px vertical resolutions without errors in the image!
- Maximum res I recorded continuosly was 1472x828
- Maximum res I recorded not continuosly was 1728x972
- Using crop mode, I can record (not in silent picture, raw_rec!) around 200 - 300 frames in 2.5k, without glitches and frame corruption beyond the 600px limit, no problem at all!

My card is a SANDISK Extreme 16gb 60mbps. Copied raw_rec module only, no other modules installed or running. Haven`t tried with other modules yet.
I wonder if I had a faster card I could work all the way up to 1080p RAW continuosly with live view. That would be bliss.
Gonna try that this week, I have a friend that can lend me a 1000x card. I'll keep you informed.

Thank you all, you guys are amazing.

Sorry by my english.
Greetings from Brazil,

Nicko
