Hi Dave, I asked the same question a while back and received no real solid answer. So I went ahead and downloaded the latest build and 1280x720 is 99% red dot free with PDR tool 7 or 8. 1472x626 however is loaded with dots. There is a cool tool a1ex made called " raw2dng-cs2x2...hdlike_noise.exe" which cleans up the 1472x626 pretty much. Just Google that tool name and you should find the threads with download links. Also, I have found that adobe camera raw (ACR) used with most adobe software like After Effects helps with properly displaying the tool converted DNG files. I'm not sure why but that's what I'm having to use after PDR is applied. Yes...it is a mind bender and a bummer at times but just imagine what the devs go through...upmost respect for those guys!

Hi a1ex, I am a 650 owner and would like to help in any way that I can. Like I said a few posts back, I'm running a nighty build from 01-20-2014 and the .08 PDR tool removes 99% of the dots with 1280x720 but it fails badly at removing any dots at 1472x626. I don't write code but I can provide dng's for testing/calculating AF dot positions. Someone in those PDR threads spoke of an "earlier" build that worked perfectly with the latest .08 PDR tool at both 1280 "and" 1472. Sure wish I knew what build that was... I know it was earlier than what's provided in the nightly build download section...I believe it was a September 2013 build to be precise. Let me know if you need some samples. Thanks

It's  the AF dot problem that motivated me to ask. I'm under the impression that it is a very complex fix. I'm running a newer 2014 build on my 650d and the PDR tool does not seem to be working anymore on a resolution of 1472x626. So I'm just curious about the AF dot progress and people's feelings on it. I'm just wondering whether I should invest in a 50D. My decision will be based on whether I get a feeling of doubt about a fix for the 650d in responses to my question...that's where I'm at... unless somebody knows of a build version that works perfectly with the latest PDR Tool that I could get? One that works at 1472x626 with PDR?

Hello, just out of curiosity, I was wanting to know if there is a present updated PDR Tool version or technique that will remove the red/green dots on the raw produced by the newer builds for the 650d? I think I read of an "earlier" build that the newest PDR (posted in this thread) worked on (including 1472x626) but it's older than what the nightly builds have for download. Could someone possibly be so kind as to post a link or email me a good build version that works well with the newer PDR tool listed in this thread? I shoot at 1280x720 and 1472x626. Currently, neither version 7 or 8 of PDR clean up my 1472x626 raw. I am currently using a build from 2014. By the way, thanks for all the hard work and commintment!  Thanks, Anthony

Hi there, I recently registered as a member but have been following the forums for sometime now. I am currently using the 650d/t4i with ML installed. I am absolutely blown away by the progress being made on the current build that I have on my 650d but I am curious to know how devs feel about the fate of the 650d? I'm really loving the idea of the RAW video feature but the Red/green dots are still hanging around...and of course I use the PDR tool but it's not really near 100%. So I guess I just wanted to get an honest opinion from some of you in regards to the "fate" of the 650d from a devs perspective. And by the way, I appreciate everyones hard work and commintment! No complaints here...just curiosity
