I'm looking at upgrading from my 50D to either a 7D or a 5D ii, I keep looking at the capabilities sheet, and I like full frame, but I like that it says that the 7D can do 50/60 fps, but I can't find any tests.... why is this? does it not actually work?

And why isn't the 7D on this regular list? http://www.magiclantern.fm/downloads.html

I'm fine with the lower resolutions, because it comes up higher than 1080 when upscaled anyway from the 50D anyway, so that's not factoring into my equation .

I'm new to nightlys, I've used 2 versions now and I couldn't turn of "movie restart" off in either of them? I know where the option is, but is there more to it?

I wouldn't have such a problem with it if I could get the files to work, but I've tried a whole lot of things to no avail.

I have a .r00 and a .raw file, named the same. I have this because I was testing the auto restart (but can't seem to turn it off anyway)

I'm on windows 8
I've tired raw2dng.exe on both, neither worked
then this http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5557.0 then managed to get a conjoined .raw and then raw2dng.exe again, but nothing, in fact, it gave me some sass!
so I tried this http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5732.0 but gives me nothing but glitched pink videos
I also tried some other command prompt thing where you "+" the files together, it did some thinking, but gave me no file at the end?

is there a proven way to join them?

Updated installation instructions here.

Okay, once I understand what this all means, then I'll decide if I want this.

I was looking at the chart http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=6215.0 and I want to know what they mean by crop and no crop? is it similar to apsc being 1.6? (though that wouldn't make sense.... wouldn't it still be the same amount of pixels?)

The other thing I don't understand is the numbers for buffer size.... I'm more lost than..... something that is really lost.....

Is there a chart for approximate recording times before it starts to frame skip? Are the columns with "continuous rec" the only modes that continuously record with out frame skipping because the buffer is full?

What are the advantages of ExFat over the other types?

I have a 600d but might upgrade too. Can you also save space in recording by not having an audio track? (I have a zoom etc for audio)

(please excuse bad grammar and english, I've been looking at this for a while and it's now almost 1:30am....)

I had a quick look through things, and I can't see if anyone else has this problem, it's just that my live view is now really laggy (first time user/install)..... in manual and video mode, is there something wrong, or have I done something wrong?
