Hi Alex

A general question.

Is it technically feasible to increase the FPS  for the current 5796x3870 @ 5fps or have we hit the 'physical' limit?

cheers
Denis

Thanks Alex.

Ah yes, I think I may have accidentally hit the Canon movie mode initially.

I will retest and get back to you.

Hi Alex

You requested a sample MLV file . I had this issue from time to time as an intermittent problem.

I did a movie today and all 3 MLV's were corrupted, Every single DNG.

cheers
Denis

Attached is the MLV link of the corrupted file
I ran:  mlv_dump -f 2-10 -0 corrupt.mlv m24-0944.mlv

Thanks Alex, I will test tomorrow and ensure I wait a few seconds

[TEST 1 - WorkArea 26]

Hi Alex

I think this may be a bug. I am using crop rec 4k - Full-resolution LiveView: 5796x3870 at 5fps with some success howeever have encountered an issue which I was able to reproduce twice.

For a video session where I take several short MLVs, the 1st MLV is always coming out at 1920 x 1290  and subsequent MLVs are all 5784x3864, I did 2 tests as shown below ie , my folders WorkArea 26e and WorkArea 27 ( 2 seperate sessions) - see images below. THE ML settings are not changed

TEST 1 - WorkArea 26








TEST 2 - WorkArea 27








SAMPLE extract of  the MLV FILE that is from the 1st folder ie 1920x1290
I used the mlv_dump -f 5 -o to reduce the file size

I will keep checking

cheers

Hi All/Alex

I raised this question in March this year and just checking if there is a solution to this today?

Currently we don't know how to trigger flash without taking a regular (not silent) picture - http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=18123.0"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been using the FRSP (Full resolution Silent DNGs) with continuous light for macro work and was wondering if its possible to trigger a flash on a hotshoe of a Canon 5dmkIII with the HALF SHUTTER PRESS.

cheers
Denis

Hi Alex

Well I created about 12 mlvs but no corruptions. Must be intermittent,

I am still taking MLVs and if it occurs I will provide the MLV and advise you.

Thanks for your patience

cheers
Denis

Ok Alex, I deleted the MLV but will do more tonigh

Hi Danne

FYI: You may be interested that I get some corrupted DNGS from time to time but I am not sure the cause"

1. issue with crop rec bug? or
2. issue when files are being extracted to DNG ?
3. issue with CF card?

This folder had 353 DNGs and only 1 dng was corrupt.

cheers
Denis

ok thanks, so just hit 'r"' only 

with the mlv_dump, what parameters would help in terms of better quality , if any , when I extracted the DNG's in yr opinion?

Thanks I will I and really not sure what I am doing with the video settings but I will try several different combinations and post them

So what do you see with the file I uploaded?

I am going to take more video and will chat later, thanks
Danne, are you on facebook, its nice to put a face to a friend.

again my error as I am shooting at 1:1 and the rail is moving forward in UM ( micro mm ) I think there is diffraction or telecentric issue.

I checked all the dngs individually and cannot see any corruption of the left side but I suspect when they are stacked there is change in the image size ( I think) .

I might try 16:9 or different ratio maybe but I am clutching at straws

I am grateful for your help and time, very kind of you. Can I improve on  the quality of those DNG's somehow, may not be possible

is that link ok

I accidentally deleted the MLV files for the sample captures i attached to the previous post  but this give you an idea

oops it was a layer8 issue, between the chair and the PC, ME !
it worked. file went from 8.2gb to 120k
will upload it now

hold on, something is happening

Still an issue, I am using MLV Dumper v1.0. Is the syntax I wrote correct "mlv_dump -f 5 -o M31-1735-Copy.MLV M31-1735-Copy.MLV"


IN CMD
C:\Users\Denis\Desktop\___RAWTODNG TEST\___WORK AREA 6\ORIGINALS>mlv_dump -f 5 -o M31-1735-Copy.MLV M31-1735-Copy.MLV

There is no *.M00 files in the folder

These are some screen captures with no edit or noise reduction

If you check the left hand corner there is a significant issue about 20-30% that is corrupted.











some samples , What I see in Bridge of the extracted DNGS

does not work. tried at cmd , mlv_dump -f 5 M31-1735-Copy.MLV M31-1735-Copy.MLV. What am I doing wrong

Sorry Danne, did not finish my previous  post. Cannot upload my screen captures, as its stating BAD GATEWAY

Hi Danne

The MLV is going to take hours to upload. In the meantime here are some screen captures of the stacked files. NO EDIT DONE

  Yes I am using windows. Can I simulate your workflow in  Windows.

Can I please see likes to your videos?

I am going home now. Just finished work.
