So I want to uninstall ML from my camera and I followed the instructions on the wiki site but it still has ML on it and even after I reformat the card on the camera to include a low level format, ML restores itself. Any ideas?

Well, I've completed the reformat and reinstall of the software and I was able to record for 30 seconds without any issues. I'll try to record longer tomorrow and post any updates.

Thanks again for the assistance.

Ok, I will give it a shot and I will post the result. Thanks for the input.

So for clarification, run the EOScard program after the reformat on the PC before reinstalling the ML?

I'm trying to Google and Youtube the problem, I haven't found anything to resolve it from this forum. 

I believe so, I haven't made any changes other than updated the Canon firmware, set the movie exposure to Manual, turn of the Auto power off and it is set to record in 1920x1080 and the only changes I made in ML was turning on Cropmarks and plug in an external mic. Forgive, I'm still learning the terms and features of this camera and ML. I'm one of those that used this device to take pictures at random without messing with the settings and now I'm trying to learn how to shoot film.

Just checked and saw the Bit Rate is at the 1.0 default setting if that is what you were asking about.

None right now, everything is greyed out as I type this.

Hello Walter,

I "Deleted AUTOEXEC.BIN and ML directory and copied extracted nightly contents". I started recording then I got the "Movie recording has been stopped automatically" again. I hit the record button and filmed for about 30 seconds then stopped. Camera then went completely blank until I kept pressing buttons and the red light started flashing and I heard the shutter noise (i think that's what it is or sound like) then it came back on. I'm using a Dane Elec SD class 10 32GB card if that makes any difference.

Hello,

So I have a 550D as well with the updated canon firmware and the updated ML nightly build however I noticed that ever since I installed ML my camera would automatically either stop recording or shuts off. It's been happening a lot tonight after the update. I'd have to turn the switch back to the off position and wait for a minute or two before it turns back on. I also removed the battery and did the same steps again several times. Should I uninstall ML, reformat the SD card and restore everything to factory default and start all over again? It's really aggravating and I would love to start practicing with this camera before I buy a better model or something.

Hey everyone, my name is Raj...just discovered Magic Lantern and I'm a complete noob to video and photography and the many settings. I currently own a Canon EOS t2i Rebel and I've shot a music video on it's basic settings a year ago. I'm getting ready to shoot another video with a friend and I'm hoping to get some solid advice from you all. If you have any questions for me, please ask away.

Happy posting...
