Excellent, thank you both. As I mentioned I'm a little rusty so it'll take me some time to wrap my head around everything but I hope to be able to contribute to the efforts soon!

A few days ago, I decided to check again the 5x magnification mode of the old and still my favorite 7D at its maximum 2520x1200 resolution at 10 bits uncompressed.  Here is a short video shot with the December 1-st, 2017 experimental build ("the haunting one") which allows Life View operation for proper subject tracking:

Inspired by this footage I just tried recording 2520x1192 / 10bits / FPS override to 23.976 FPS / MLV_LITE, using the build that @dfort linked to below.

The LiveView was fine for framing but froze up when I hit record. To clarify are you able to view the LiveView during recording, or just framing?

FWIW I'm using a slower card (Lexar 1000x), but able to get between :25 and :40 seconds of recording with the above settings. Unfortunately the LiveView consistently locks up after I hit record regardless of the resolution (tested down to 1920x1200). It's been years since I've used ML but I have a vague memory of this happening before so maybe a known issue?

Getting 4K out of this camera would be awesome, so whatever I can do to contribute I'm happy to lend a hand. It's been about a decade since I've done any coding so I doubt I'll be any help on that front, but I've bookmarked dforts compiling tutorial and will get an environment set up on my machine in the next few days. Really impressed with how far it has come already. Hats off to dfort and the rest for their efforts.
