I'm using the 50D for RAW filming for some months now, and it is really great!
(By the way, thanks to all developers who made this possible! It's unbelievable.)

RAW-Video and also MLV-Rec are working really great.
But sometimes I would like to use the usual movie mode with MOV video files, and not RAW-Video, for filming events etc.
When I record MOV files I set the FPS to 23,976. But when I playback the video files on my PC, it plays back very fast, looks like it plays back in double speed or something.

Everybody ever has the same problem, or know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I use two solutions for this, either "interpret footage" in premiere pro or exporting the h264 stream and muxing it again to a .mp4 file, with mp4box:

Code Select Expand


mp4box -add MVI_0002.MOV#video -raw 1 -new temp
&& mp4box -add temp_track1.h264:fps=10 -new dest.mp4
&& del temp*

Hi guys how do you get rid of the grey yucky look of the cropped video while recording

Go to ML Video configuration, then Raw configuration. you'll have this preview modes in crop mode: Auto., Canon, ML Grayscale, Hacked.

he over hearting that the 50D is prone, is it because the live view is on always?

Bigger sources of heat than the LV are the sensor, the camera processor and battery.  You can do nothing about the sensor and processor but you can try a external power source.

the camera stops me from going higher than 1568*1058

The 50d ONLY does 1080p raw in crop mode. In full sensor mode it's limited to that resolution. But you'll find that it scales nicely to 1080p in post.

Cheers

[MOV (30fps) --> raw h264 stream --> MP4( 24fps)]

I've been searching for a simple and efficient way of changing the FPS of the .MOVs taken with my 50d. The best ' made it so far is this:

MOV (30fps) --> raw h264 stream --> MP4( 24fps)

Code Select Expand

ffmpeg.exe -i IMPUT.MOV -codec copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb track1.h264
mp4box.exe" -add track1.h264:fps=24 -new OUTPUT.mp4

Anyone with a better/faster way?

I have a 50D and this is very interesting. But the bricked part freaks me out a little. How did it happen? And how can we avoid it? )

Tou a ver que isto tá cheio de portugueses e brazileiros!    mais ninguem da CPLP?

After some tries i realised that my previous description of the bug was not 100% correct.

The procedure after installing ML build(magiclantern-Nightly.2015Mar25.50D109_DoF_FRSP_commit5ce2235):
-reset ML defaults
-activate Silent.mo
-take a bunch of full-res-silent pics
-activate the intervalometer with the LV off (4 pics every second).
-leave menu and the intervalometer starts: the previews are white noise and the DNGs are full black
-enter menu with LV still on and leave menu, the intervalometer starts: the previews are full white but the DNGs are OK.
-take a bunch of full-res-silent pics

Video of the procedure: https://youtu.be/9ughS3hhrhY
Sample of 1 black DNG (white noise on previre) and 1 OK (white on preview): http://we.tl/yLhsuXXNJu

Tested the build from Licaon_Kter on my 50D. I can take single FullRes photos, but if i try the intervalometer after the first photo i get 1 white photo, 1 black photo, 1 white photo, and so on...

Do you need a sample or log? 

Does anyone has the .fir and silent.mo with full-res-silent-pics compiled to the 50D?

Have been trying to compile it but can't get it working.

Edin, what was your workflow?

Hi everyone, i finally bought a 50d and i'm now using magic lantern for the first time. 

I'm thinking of buying a fast CF card to shoot raw, but i'm not sure which one to buy. Because there are so many mixed reviews on different sizes, speeds and cameras.

-For the 50d how fast does it need to be to shoot raw? 800x?
-Are the komputerbay cards trustworthy?

Thanks
