[works]

Thanks a1ex once again. Your knowlegde is amazing.

Tested:
- 1832x1024 resolution 24&25fps: works
- 720p 50fps: works
- full-frame mode: works
- 3x crop mode (this model has it available as option in the Canon menu): works
- audio: works
- Servo-AF: works
- Single-shot-AF (triggered with half-shutter): works (if small hacks disabled)
- 14-bit lossless: works
- 12-bit lossless: works
- 8..11-bit lossless: works

All in all it looks very promising already. Here a build, so you can use and test it as well. Please feedback.

https://bitbucket.org/ArcziPL/magic-lantern/downloads/magiclantern-Nightly.2019Mar07.70D112_crop_rec_4k_mlv_lite_lossless.zip

This build
- is based on crop_rec_4k_mlv_lite_snd
- does include a custom variation of sd_uhs module: only one setting is used, benchmark is run once upon activation
- uses #undef FEATURE_ARROW_SHORTCUTS, so this feature won't pop-up unexpectedly in LV
- doesn't include dualiso module, as my cam uses alternative adresses of some registers and I've adapted it already. If you need it, take it from any other working build.

Hey yall, haven't checked forums in ages, used old build of ML, used MLrawviewer and was quite happy with quality of recordings. Shot 1600x900 MLV raw video, stretched to 1080p and that was that. Now I found your ridiculously awesome build and was blown away by what I found. Different bitrates! Now im shooting at even higher resolution for 30s using 10bpp. 30 seconds instead of 13. And I didnt see much of a drop in quality, but I guess that would stand out in post processing. Also, tried mlv_snd, which also helps. And 60fps. It only shoots for 11 seconds for my desired resolution of 900p, but man. I wanted to upgrade to sony a7 just for slow mo footage, but now it seems, I can stay with my beloved 70D longer. It's currently 2am in my timezone and I'm just as happy as when I got my camera.

I expect a shoot next next week and this upgrade is just what I needed.
Need a bit more testing, if I find time ill do just that.

For christ sake, if you're fortunate enough to own a pretty decent dslr like 70D make use of it rather than pleading devs and that lone person, who doesn't have camera but still does something. These things, they take time. Give them that time. In the meantime - use your gear to the fullest, study it, use it. There are bottlenecks, yes, but can get around a lot of things. It's far easier to have a more friendly software than it is canon's, but (except for the backers of 70D) we're getting this awesome stuff for free. Learn to use your equipment, rather than asking for someone to make it more usable.
