General Chat / Post waiting to be approved
June 26, 2022, 10:30:46 AM
Not sure how this happen , but for some reason I'm on the list of approving post ! Not that I can't but people may be waiting for a approval & I may not see the email notification for a so time , though I do check the forum from time to time to checkup on the 5D2 issue if there're any. As much  as I would to put 100% effort here , I simple can't . I've gone back to building race car chassis ,
full time now and will be on the road at drag race tracks across Canada & the United States of America for the next 3-5years .
Thou I will be using Magic Lantern  for Vlogs & informational technical videos on how to build "Promod" race chassis and other related topic to drag racing on a new YouTube Channel. So keep a eye out for that , for the little time I will have available for Magic Lantern I would like to cleanup the crop_rec module code for the 50D & 5D2 ( I now know how to fix 1x3 on the 5D2 & it may also work for the 50D) . If I have time after that I have code for overclocking the CF card interface on d4 cams 50D & 5D2 only ! It may work on the 40D but not sure yet . Don't expect anything anytime soon maybe in a a few months or so . If it turn out that I couldn't do this in a timely matter 
I'll post all the code somewhere for other dev.

Sorry about all this but I've come to realize that the new cameras like R5 and others have all the features I need or what out of a camera without ML . Not say development of the new camera are not needed, but for my it good enough. 😊

Ok we are back at it again :) , working on over clocking D4 CF Card Bus speed.
Actually i trying to reproduce a old experiment a1ex did on the 5d2 years ago where he over clocked the
CF Card bus speed where he had success but never gave any number on speed .
I'm using the old (ml core) as his code was written in that , the branch is hdparm
I did try to merge it to the new core but it has too many error for me to fix .
So i had to re-install a old ml clone of ubuntu VM with the old tool chain so i just got it running ,
I can compile now but i keep getting a "fatal error" on the cf_acc.mo (module)

Building module cf_acc...
Updated HGVERSION
[ README   ]   module_strings.h

make[4]: *** [hdparm/identify.o] Error 1


hdparm//identify.c:7:25: fatal error: linux/types.h

The problem is there no "Linux/type.h" in the source code at all !
even in the the new core code . Tried to to edited it out but just made things worse .
Can anybody shed any light on this ?
Here is the source code for the module cf_acc.zip

General Chat / Brand New 5D3 with kit Lens 24-105mmL F4 IS
September 04, 2020, 05:46:54 AM
I being looking for a new/good used camera for the last few mouths , thought about a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K
I kind of like the S35 sensor , but it looks cheaply build so i'm not sure ...

Then i thought about the EOS R or RP , at least it's got 4k uncompressed HDMI , but then i need a new 4k recorder ($800-1000)

I start to drift towards the 5D IV , there on sale now ($2,900 cnd.) advandages : true 24p 4k MJpeg (422 8bit) which is good & clean 1080p 60 uncompressed 422 8bit ,
and the possibility that ML maybe fully ported in the near future ( I can help contribute to that effort if i get a 5d4) .

But then I came across a Brand New "Open Box" 5D3 with the kit lens (24-105mm IS) 
for $2,990 cnd , I've seen the lens go for around $1000.0 so that make the the brand new 5d3 camera worth $2000.0
As i can always use a good wide IS lens , I'm in kind of a dilemma  :-\

I guess the question I like to ask is how good is the 24-105mm IS kit Lens ?
Is it worth $1000 ?
I know the 5D3 is worth $2000 special that it's brand new .
Are there any 5D3 user's out there that use the kit lens and like it ?
This will make or break the deal for me 

5D3:
Advandages: I can install ML and have 10bit 4k raw video + other great features e.g. dual iso video, .. right now
Disadvandages: weak 4k liveveiw preview & HDMI .

Also are there any 5D4 user's who can tell me if there like the camera ?
The good & the bad .

General Development / Compiling errors
May 26, 2019, 08:21:44 AM
Having compiling error & I don't fully understand how to fix it .
Trying to compile crop_rec for 50D and keep getting
crop_rec.c: In function 'cmos_hook':
crop_rec.c:863:17: error: invalid storage class for function 'nrzi_encode'
static uint32_t nrzi_encode( uint32_t in_val )

If I change anything I'll break crop_rec for 5D2 ,
Can someone explain what is a "invalid storage class for function"
there a little red arrow pointing at just before nrzi_encode


below is the piece of code it's referring to



I kind of know a little about it -- is there something for the 50D I need to define that I missed ?
as is it works on the 5D2 and don't what to break it , if I can fully understand this error I can fix the compiling for crop_rec on 50D

Edit: I have more problems , the code for 50D broke the 5D2 crop_rec with the same errors, so back to the code line by line and see where I messed up .

This is the best part yet !! This cam maybe  even better then the 5D mark iv (cheaper too 2999.00 canada)
oh yea DIGIC 8 Image Processor by the way .

Yea that's right 10 bit HDMI in 4K :)) with canon log  :o
Weak internal codec but not too bad (All i's h264)
Love that you can control everything  from the control ring lens & control ring adapter for EF & EFs .
killer features , read the PDF .

Yes that right GPU accelerated Video player that supports Magic Lantern MLV's !
Just drop & drag  :D



It's uses FFMpeg (RAW Codec) & other open source code , the best part it's a active project .
The black level is off (green cast) but still good to check the files with @ real time play back !!!
Plus it's can be used in command line/terminal , plus many other great features .

Being it's a active project , I'm sure the black level can be fixed

mpv.io Player
mpv-player Source Code

Edit: Seem this has been discussed on github there a work around
use the -vf lut3d command

General Help Q&A / CF card unformattable (Just Raw)
September 24, 2018, 09:02:18 AM
I had a issue , I was working a few weeks back on some experiment's with 3k/UHD on 5d2 and I had a bad crash (camera's Ok ,  boots up with other cf cards)
I had a message on screen "format card" tried to but said card was no able to format  , so loaded up on PC card came up as "Raw Data" 64GB but could not format
I can't activate the partition , tried "disk part" etc. .... nothing seem to work . I don't care about recovery just what to format also tried different format options
NTSF , fat32, fat, & exfat , nothing even testdisk-7.1-WIP doesn't help . If I use the right click "format drive" short cut , and do a low level format (not a quick format)
it will format the card until the very end , like less then 1% left and says "can't format or a error has happen" and exit out
The card is not old (got it around xmas 2017) only used it a few times
Lexar 1066x 64GB
Any hints or advice ?
I could if all else fails send it in for warranty but take's 2-3 week .

http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0040d/Bcedijji.html
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.dui0040d/DUI0040D.pdf
I found some very interesting information in the PDF about the structure of the string we see in the disassembly of the ROM's
I thinking it could help understand these strings better
Trace instructions (I lines)
The format of the trace instruction (I) lines is as follows:
[ IT | IS ] instr_addr opcode disassembly
For example:
IT 00008044 e04ec00f SUB r12,r14,pc
where:
IT instruction taken.

Look familiar ?  ;)
IS instruction skipped (all ARM instructions are conditional).
instr_addr shows the address of the instruction. For example: 00008044.
opcode gives the opcode, for example: e04ec00f.
disassembly gives the disassembly (uppercase if the instruction is taken), for
example, SUB r12,r14,pc. This is optional and is controlled by
armul.cnf. Set Disassemble=True to enable this.
Events (E lines)
The format of the event (E) lines is as follows:
E addr1 addr2 event_number
For example:
E 00000048 00000000 10005
where:
addr1 gives the first of a pair of words, such as, the pc value.
addr2 gives the second of a pair of words, such as, the aborting address.
event_number gives an event number, for example: 0x10005. This is MMU Event_ITLBWalk.

also talks about mixing ARM's &  Thumb code together etc. .... (over my head)
even has a chapter(12) on ARMulator and what needed to set it up  under even Windows (wishful thinking)
thou I'm not sure if it refers to anything that could run from canon rom's or ML
Interesting never the less , good read

Edit: another good example explain , I'm slow understand a little more
Example 5-5
AREA Loadcon, CODE, READONLY
ENTRY ; Mark first instruction to execute
start BL func1 ; Branch to first subroutine.
BL func2 ; Branch to second subroutine.
stop MOV r0, #0x18 ; angel_SWIreason_ReportException
LDR r1, =0x20026 ; ADP_Stopped_ApplicationExit
SWI 0x123456 ; Angel semihosting ARM SWI
func1
LDR r0, =42 ; => MOV R0, #42
LDR r1, =0x55555555 ; => LDR R1, [PC, #offset to
; Literal Pool 1]
LDR r2, =0xFFFFFFFF ; => MVN R2, #0
MOV pc, lr
LTORG ; Literal Pool 1 contains
; literal Ox55555555.
func2
LDR r3, =0x55555555 ; => LDR R3, [PC, #offset to

; LDR r4, =0x66666666 ; If this is uncommented it
; fails, because Literal Pool 2
; is out of reach.
MOV pc, lr
LargeTable
% 4200 ; Starting at the current location,
; clears a 4200 byte area of memory
; to zero.
END ; Literal Pool 2 is empty.

I have being digging in to my decompiled Rom from my 5D2 and I very interested in Motion Jpeg as it's 4:2:2 but only 8bit (bad part) .
You my say "will you have raw video that's better then mjpeg"
I say "yes and no" why because there many advantages of mjpeg , bandwidth , more gradable then h264 , etc. ... and of course people could list many more advantages to Raw Video.
One big reason I can think of is "documentaries" where , sometimes you just need to let the camera roll I think most of us understand that  right !  ;D
Ok so now you know my reasons for this now lets push this to the limits  8)
I looking to implement this to UHD/4k , makes senses now ?   for 2 main thinks .
1st of course to encode the UHD/4k stream to mjpeg.avi (thought I have know idea how get the encoder to compile a file) This would good for all cam for big resolution and slow SD card bandwidth . 2nd for correct framing in hdmi in images larger then 1080p/I e.g. 2k or 3.5k etc. ... .
Now if proves to be impossible for mjpeg.avi then of course I will try h264 as the parameters  aloud for 4k video  .

Below is same stuff that related to what I'm talking about from 5D2 Rom
ff0380f8 JpCoreFirm : %#lx
ff03810c JpCoreExtStream : %#lx
ff038124 pTestCallBack %#lx
ff03813c H264Size 0x0A100000 + [%#lx]

So 0x0A10000 + [something] 1920x1080p ? I assume

ff04a894 mvpGetMovieVideoData : MovieType(%d)
ff04a8bc StartResizeMotionJpeg(%d,%#x,%d,%#x)
ff04a8e4 mvpRequestDecResize : MovieType(%d)

down sizing from Full Liveview ? 5.6k

ff04ab84 mvpGetMovieKeyFrameNum : MovieType(%d)
ff04abac MOVR_GetMovKeyFrameNum(%#x)
ff04abc8 ChangeVramCallBack
ff04abdc ChangeNextUpdateVram cancel[%d](%#x)
ff04ac04 ChangeNextUpdateVram[%d](%#x)

Start the stream ?

ff04aeac SetRectColorParameter : unknown DispType (%#x)
ff04aedc CreateVram[%d](%#x,%d,%d,%d)
ff04af00 ChangeNextVram[%d](%#x,%d,%d)
ff04af20 ChangeNextVram cancel[%d](%#x

I think this  applying Picture Style profile

ff04b16c DecodeComplete : DecodeMotionJpeg Error(%d)
ff04b198 DecodeComplete : DecodeMotionJpeg Error -> StopPreparation
ff04b1d8 mvpCancelDecResize : MovieType(%d)
ff04c7a0 MovieFrameRateCallback
ff04c7bc StartPreparation : mvpGetMovieVideoData(frame:%d)
ff04c7f0 StartPreparation : mvpGetMovieVideoData(%#x)
ff04c820 StartPreparation : Cancel(Decode)
ff04c848 StartPreparation : StartDecodeMotionJpeg(time out)
ff04c87c StartPreparation : Cancel(Resize)

self explanatory I think


ff04ec6c mvpResizeCompleteCallback
ff04ec88 mvpRegisterCompleteDecResize : MovieType(%d)
ff04ecb8 SetResizePassParam in(%d,%d,%d,%d,%d,%d,%d)
ff04ece4 SetResizePassParam out(%d,%d,%d,%d,%d,%d,%d)
ff04ed14 SetResizePassParam : (%d,%d,%d,%d,%d,%d,%d)

maybe has to with line skipping & pixel binding ? not sure that all , I notice "MovieType" so could this be either .AVI or .Mov ?
lots of question but no answers yet !
It's a start  :D

Some interesting information on canon eos sensors
http://lclevy.free.fr/cr2/#lossless --10.1 Sensor information for each model
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lclevy/libcraw2/master/docs/cr2_database.txt


http://lclevy.free.fr/cr2/sensors.html (Older Data base) (I just posted my camera 5D2)


Something else about compressed raw on digic iv from http://lclevy.free.fr/cr2/#lossless

So 5d2 and the rest of digic iv use 4 color raw components and newer digic v along with the old digic iii uses 2 color components .
would this be a issue with compressed raw on digic iv since the code would be more in turn with  digic v with 2 color components
or is this a nonsense idea ?
anyways interesting , maybe this can help somebody with developing  :)
#12
Starting a new thread for the 5d2 dm-log and other log files for r&d , didn't what to clutter up the 12-bit (and 10-bit) RAW video development discussion thread
so I saw some interesting things in dm-0001.log file from my bitbucket downloads

General Development / 5D2 RAM Dump ?
October 30, 2017, 01:06:21 AM
Getting back at it again I notice I have a ram dump I think , I'm no sure how & when I did this .
Was looking at the LOG folder with the rom0.bin & rom1.bin files and there a "RAM4.BIN"
so would I decompile it like it's done for the ROM's ? I uploaded to my bitbucket download page here , if anyone what to look at it , file size is 256 MB .

General Chat / mac OS Sierra NVIDIA/GPU Issue
July 13, 2017, 07:13:52 AM
Just what to pass on some info about some issue's with the native mac OS Nvidia GPU drivers .
I was having issue on my real apple MP5.1 updated to Sierra 10.12.5 with a Nvidia GTX570(pc card) , some apps like Quicktimes 10 and AJA Kona Lhi Capture card software where either crashing or will not startup . I guess because the new mac OS depends a lot on the GPU with "Metal" etc. ... One notable thing was i tried to do a screen capture with QT Player & a soon as i started to capture QT would crash  :(  , so a quick search revealed a problem with the native GPU driver , fix is to install the nvidia web driver from www.nvidia.com 
QuoteThis driver update is for Mac Pro 5,1 (2010), Mac Pro 4,1 (2009) and Mac Pro 3,1 (2008) users.
BETA support is for iMac 14,2 / 14,3 (2013), iMac 13,1 / 13,2 (2012) and MacBook Pro 11,3 (2013), MacBook Pro 10,1 (2012), and MacBook Pro 9,1 (2012) users.
this is the direct download link WebDriver-378.05.05.15f01.pkg from Sierra 10.12.5 only !! and works with all GTX mac or PC card from 285 up , i have a GTX570 and now all my apps work without crashing  :D plus I notice improved boot up time and a big performance improvement in FCPX , specially with skimming the time line . So if you have issues or bad performance with your Nvidia
GPU/Card try the web drivers , also if you don't like the drivers or have problems you can just switch back with the nvidia control panel
and reboot then your back to the native mac OS driver.




Hope this can help others  ;D

After updating  my MP5.1 to mac OS Sierra 10.12.5 I started playing around with the new apple compressor  v.4.3.2  now supports wide color space .
Before the default color space was Rec709(HD1-1-1) or SD(BT601) now you have the option
of encoding to BT2020(Rec2020 9-1-9) and FCPX support wide color space , and no more clipping in the lows & highs
if you don't conform to HD space. This on the par with blackmagic resolve , autodesk smoke for mac or any other grading app.
I'm not even sure if Premiere Pro support wide color space , Just one more reason to transcode to ProRes 4444XQ Linear (Rec2020 Wide color space)  ;)

General Development / Compressed Raw mlv_rec_lj92
April 15, 2017, 07:17:46 AM
Just for kicks I thought I would try to update source with compressed_raw branch & mlv_rec_lj92 branch
and see if I could get compressed raw video , and it work for the most part (didn't crash  :D )
I recorded 4 mlv's file @ 1856x1044 and it didn't seem to be less data rate (70MB/s)
so when I check them with, mlvfs I go dng with right metadata but at 64K , yea I know there's a
special mlv_dump and run them thought there and it stop at
[ERROR] VIDF: File ends in the middle of a block

This is what the output was with mlv_dump -v

5D2_mlv_play+raw_twk_10-3-2020_8.18pm.zip



Fixed problems with raw_twk & mlv_play modules on my D4/5D2 4k Crop_Rec branch .
Tested it in 3x3(1880x1258) , crop_rec 3.5k centered preset(2784x1160) & 3x1 4k anamorphic (4096x590)
there's all view ok in camera , except for 3x1 4k there noise/snow on the bottom half of the screen .
(the anamorphic part of the code is not vertically stretching the image need to look further in the code) but still viewable .
Make sure you load both module's in the zip file , that's it . when you what to view a file just press the > play button

Here is a stable Crop_Rec build for the 50D , so no more adtg_gui crop_rec needed.
There only one preset at the moment , as these's problem with cmos & adtg hooks which i'm working on .
Loads just like the 5D2 crop_rec module , the 50D Crop_Rec resolution is 3760x1080 @ 23.976fps

Updated the Crop_Rec Module for multiplies of 3xcrop_mode/5xZoom presets .
Now there is 3k 1:1 (3016x1080 23.98fps) & Centered 3.5k 1:1 (2784x1160 24fps) in the same build plus 4k(3x1) & FHD 3x3 48p (1880x774)
With the new updated mlv_rec. module you get 8 more pixel in 3k & 24 more pixel in 48p 3x3 when use together .

Update: Feb 10 2020             New video sample of the updated 16x9 1:1 5632x3124 3.8fps centered preset , 6min @ 3.8fps -> 1 min 24fps in a hyper lapse



Here is a sample from the 5.6k preset (5632x2356 4.22fps) **note** this the first draft of this preset , I have updated since.
Shot this Jan-3-2020 , at sunset (4:30pm mst) , use my ef24-70mm 2.8L canon lens @ 24mm
F8 , ISO 100 , 1/5th second and because it was a sunset I had to use a Variable ND filter and stop it down 4 stops
I processed the 10bit cdng's thought Adobe After Effect CS6 with ACR ,I didn't spend much time on grading , just the basic .
I capture 7:00 min's continuously to a 32GB Lexar 1066x CF Card ,
I set the A.E. project to 24fps and that made the time condensed to about 1:15 seconds from 7:00 min's .
Watch it @ 5K (2880p) for the best viewing .

Hey 50D users I've started to port 50D to crop_rec , first step was to code a simple preset in ADTG_GUI.mo where a1ex first tested the 5d3 code.
Reasons why I put the 50D crop_rec in adtg_gui is to make sure it work or course .

How to get started:
Load mlv_rec.mo & adtg_gui.mo
Enable adtg_gui go to the advance menu and enable ENGIO Registers



Press half shutter to exit to liveview then press the play button (make sure to have a cr2 there to view ,this refreshes liveview & enables the other 1500 reg's)
go back to the advance tab in the adtg_gui.mo and now enable the 3k 1:1 50D preset



Press half shutter to exit to liveview , then you may have to cycle thought the 5xzoom button ( but you should only have to press it once)
Make sure you set the shutter to as close to 1/48th of second as you can , I was able to set it to 1/49th and when the preset is enabled it will
go to 1/48th of a second  for 23.9876 fps @ 3744x1080



Don't worry about the line on the right had side , there will not be in the raw image (this is the same thing that happen with the 5D2 , still working on a fix )
To make sure everything gets loaded , you can check the memory patches in the debug menu you should have 7 like this



On a Lexar 1066x 64GB CF card was getting around 10 second in 10bit .

This is very Bleeding Edge Stuff , so expect lockups , cam liveview freezes , etc. .... if it brakes you get to keep both halves  :P

Details lower down on this post

*******************************************************************************************************************

So now you have stable 10-12bit in 1:1 Full HD with 3k crop_rec , more usable now .
To come full hd 48fps or maybe 50 & Full resolution 5.6k @4 fps  to start with.
Enjoy


Short Tutrial for Setting up Crop_Rec Module (3.5k 1:1 Preset) on the 5D Mark ii

For best results start with 30 fps ntsc in the canon Liveview menu


Load crop_rec  & mlv_rec , mlv_snd can be load but reduces the amount of frames recorded .


Next setup Liveview preview , This is the most important part without this set correctly it will not work !

Liveveiw needs to be set to ML Gray Scale
Set bit depth to 10bit & aspect ratio to 1:1

Next go in to the crop_rec menu select 3.5k preset .
Note ! this only work when you enter 5x zoom/3x crop_mode as per the hi-lighted texts says


Once to go to 3x crop_mode you may need to go back to 1:1 then back to crop_mode  to get
2880x1080 sometimes , this is what you should see in the Movie tab once successful

Note the Red hi-light box the Frame Rate now says 23.976
Now you see the "crop_rec" is enabled & the resolution is now 2880x1080

Now go to the Raw Movie Tab you should see the following

You can choice resolutions less then 2880 if you wish , and you need to have ML Grey Scale selected

In Liveview this is what it should look like

Notice the yellow circle "5x zoom"
Green hi-lighted area "Frame Rate" 23.976
The Red Hi-lighted area "crop_rec 1:1 3.5k preset "

For full color High Res preview press the half shutter


Known Limitations
Once recording started you will have a Frozen B/W Liveview .
At this point it's unknown how to fix it yet , but Liveview return after recording stops.
In the current state you should see about 20 to 30 second of 10bit video.


New Update:

July 20 2020
Experimental build:Crop_Rec.Mo Updated for 4k3x1-3k1x1-2.8k1x1-48pfhd3x3
5D2-4k3x1-3k1x1-2.8k1x1-48pfhd3x3_7-10-2020_8.42pm_crop_rec.zip
Updated the Crop_Rec Module for multiplies of 3xcrop_mode/5xZoom presets .
Now there is 3k 1:1 (3016x1080 23.98fps) & Centered 3.5k 1:1 (2784x1160 24fps) in the same build plus 4k(3x1) & FHD 3x3 48p (1880x774)
With the new updated mlv_rec. module you get 8 more pixel in 3k & 24 more pixel in 48p 3x3 when use together .
Short Video tutorial on how to enable the new crop_rec presets in the latest update - (shot my 50D in 1x3 (1376x1742 @24fps ->4128x1742 from mlv. app)  ;)




July 5 2020
Experimental build:MLV_Rec.Mo Updated for 1880 (3x3) 2152(5xZoom)
1880_3x3-2152_5xZoom-5d2_7-5-2020-5.59pm-mlv_rec.zip

In Canon default  resolution 3x3 you gain 24 more pixels (1856->1880) & in 3xcrop_mode(5xZoom) there a gain of 8 pixels (2144->2152)
Will load on top of the Crop_Rec eXperimental builds , did not test with the nightly builds


Jan 5 2020
Experimental build:5632x3124 @ 3.8fps
crop_rec-5632x3124_3.8fps-5D2-eXperimental.9.42pm.2020Jan05.5D2212.zip]
This a 1:1 pixel 5632x3124 @ 3.8fps , Very eXperimental you need at least a 1066x CFcard for this .

Experimental build: 4k(4096) 3x1 Anamorphic ,  2784x1160 1x1 @ 24.00fps & FHD 3x3 (1856x774) @ 48p
crop_rec-4k3x1-2.8k24p_3x3-48p-all-centered_8.18pm-5D2-eXperimental.2019Dec31.5D2212.zip
In proved 4k-3x1 HDMI preview at 480p & changed frame rate to 24.00fps , reconfigured 2784x1160 for true 24.00 fps & realtime preview,
(1856x774  2:40 A.R. @ 48.028fps) write speed is 82MB/s so close to continuous
reduced the rolling shutter in 48p from 29.7ms to 17.8ms  :D

                                                                                                                     Short video on how to enable 48fps preset



                                                                                   Short test with 48fps in FHD (1856x688) then slowed down to 23.976fps & 12fps , shot @ 1/91th second , 400ISO lens @ f8


Same as before , it may lockup , freeze , etc. ... you guy know the routine
48p can be hard to enable , what I did was first put the cam in 1:1 (3x crop_mode)
enable 4k Anamorphic for a few second then switch to "FHD 48p" press the play but twice .
It will say in the left corner 1:1 but it's really 3x3 FHD , need to change that to say 3x3 .
FYI about 48p & shutter speed , to get correct shutter speed for 48p you should be double
your frames rate e.g. 24fps = 1/48th , 48fps = 1/96th of second ideally so the best I can get is 1/91th of second
to get that I set shutter speed in 3x3 without crop_rec enabled to 1/41th or 1/40th of a second then enable FHD 48p
should be 1/91th of a second , this give very good motion blur for slow-mo shots down to 12fps

Experimental build: Dual ISO Video Module
dual_iso_video_5D2.mo
Works with my crop_rec builds (not too sure about the nightly builds didn't test them) at 3x3 FHD(1856x1248) & 5xZoom(2144x1074) (3x crop_mode) @ 10bit raw ,
I didn't check it with the Crop_Rec Preset , so if you do try it with Crop_Rec it may freeze you cam and may need I battery pull .
Best to start out at 100 ISO with the recovery ISO at 800 , so 100/800 ISO , I wouldn't recommend a recovery ISO higher then 1600 ISO (200/1600 ISO Max.)
Anything beyond  that is just noise -- remember 5D2 has only 5 native analog ISO's (100 , 200 , 400 , 800 , 1600) the rest is just digital push or pulled ISO (e.g. 160 ISO = 100 ISO digital pushed)
The Zip file is just the dual_iso.mo (module) not the full build , if you think you need the full build with dual_iso.mo let me know , but it should work on top of
my builds on the first page , in theory it should work with the 5D2 10-12bit  magic lantern experiments

Updated the cmos[2] Horizontal offset to correct centering offset ,  used full res CR2 (5613x3744) for referencing center as this post explained here

****************************************************************************************************************************************************

Ok by now a lot  if not all ml user know about crop_rec on steroids: 3K, 4K, 1080p48, full-resolution LiveView
Yes as it says I'm looking in to 3K/UHD on the 5d2 cam and being that most of the digic iv cam are similar
My hope is it will help on other cams like 7D , 50D , etc.... in reality only cam with CF Card have the potential
of recording 3K/UHD other SD cams maybe in short busts or reduce frame rate but I think the 5d2 and 7D should be capably
of 3K or close to it . That's my target , right now 10bit 2144x1076 @ 23.976p is a reality at about 60-63 MB/s Write speed
with a crop factor of 2.61 . Some may ask if this is possible on cams other then the 5d3 , will the whole discovery came from a
500d experiment from Greg , at least that's my understanding . To my knowledge a1ex reproduce the experiment on 5d3 digic v
which ended up code in the adtg_gui module  from iso_research branch . That's what I'm basing my development on and hints that a1ex gave my here ,
so the first step was to compile a adtg_gui module from the iso_research branch.
Of which I had many problem , thank to dfort for helping me with this issue the thread can read here. Once I load the module I can now get in to the cmos H & V.
I loaded the 5d3 3K registry preset in 3x crop mode and start play round .
I what so far I have discovered with the vertical registry I'm able to move the crop window from the left most leading edge to the right leading edge in 46 increments.

Screen_Shot_10-12bit raw_rec
by RedDeerCityTV, on Flickr

a little history , over the last 2 months I have being setting up a ml development environment under Win7pro VM of Ubuntu.
So far I don't have any issue compiling the Unified with this:

hg clone -r unified https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern
cd magic-lantern
cd platform
cd 5D2*
make zip


I have a couple of problems and it's more then likely my miss understand on how bitbucket works .
As I'm working locally on my VM with the unified code , I being having trouble merging & or updating different branches
I use "hg merge raw_video_10_bit_2_bit  or hg update no joy , I can't really find any clear definition on the syntax .
Any help would be greatly appreciated , So in the mean time I being just copying & paste the code in to my environment.
It works so far , I have successfully merged 10-12bit to the unified I have from Dec. complied and tested with the full MLV+audio
no crashes/lockups/battery pulls on my 5d2 (thou 1:1 is still a problem, working on it) ,
but not so with the raw_rec.mo and before anyone gets to excited I know the raw_rec is now mlv_lite
and I'll come to that bridge soon . So did I break the mlv metadata ? or did I miss some code parts ?
Once I can fix this dump mistake , I can move on to fixing issue on the digic iv cams mainly to get fully functional 10-12bit raw video
and get these cam up to date with the latest feature if possible .

I know it would have been easier to download a complete 10-12bit respiratory with unified merged but I really
need to understand how to do this correctly without relaying on other when I'm stuck .  :D

General Development / Qemu problem
February 26, 2017, 05:12:03 AM
Trying to get qemu up and running but I seen to hit a little brick wall , I do believe I did everything right I'm on a VM of Ubuntu in Windows7 Pro on AMD CPU
using the pre configured build from Here the problems is I get a bunch of AMD64 errors on install .  I followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zylZd3ljIeU&t=315s 
and this one  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8x6Bzv2aV0 .
So to be sure this is what is did : in qemu open up a terminal window and run
./install.sh
Then open terminal window in qemu/qemu1.6.0
./configure --target-list=arm-softmmu --disable-docs --enable-sdl
got error " requested feature sdl configure was not able to find"


so run this from the video hint in terminal window in qemu

So is Qemu supported in AMD  or is there a Newer version the 1.6.0 ?
is there other links to the requested AMD stuff I could use ?
it seem it what's to be configured before I can start the emulator
So I'm stuck , can any one shed so light on this , Thanks

General Chat / Test Patterns for Display Calibration
January 20, 2017, 06:18:00 AM
Cleaning out old files from my 6TB raid 5 box and come across some 8bit YUV 4:2:2 test patterns .mov's about 20Mb each.
720 59.94 , 1080i 29.97 , 1080i 25 , 1080p 23.976 , 2048x1080p 23.976 , SD NTSC 720x486i & SD PAL 720x576i
Just load the file on your NLE time line , it good to check your display on a regular basics and if you don't have a calibration Spider (colorimeter)
This is the next best thing or if you do then calibrate with there's files  ;)
Download link from my Dropbox Test patterns
Hope it's useful for you guy's .

Edit: With the Test patterns are metadata text files so you know what there are.

General Chat / FFmpeg-Play with MLV Raw Support
December 11, 2016, 07:27:31 AM
Always searching for faster and better ways to work with MLV raw for fast turn around when time is limited .
I know this has been talk about before back a few years ago that ffmpeg started to support magic lantern raw video.
With this in mind I downloaded the latest version for windows and in the package there a app called "ffmpeg play"
so I just drop a .mlv file on top of ffmpeg play and it open up a command window & a viewer and starts playing
the files with audio in sync as far as I can tell . There a issue with black level decoding (Green Cast) be on that
it a fast why of checking the Video Stream just like mlrawviewer but ffmpeg play seems to support bit reduction raw video (10-12)
I tested 14bit & 10bit there seem to play the same on my SSD . Not Sure what there are using to decode maybe DCraw?
If the right black levels could be obtained this would be very handy indeed .

Looking in to finally setting up a development environment for ML and since I have more PC's then Mac's I been looking at working under Windows 7 Pro .
Is this the best route for windows ? Re: Gettings started as developer
Something better ? Or would it be easier with Linux (Ubuntu) then would that be more alone the lines of a using a Mac platform ?

I figure it's about time I started to get deeper involved with ML code , hopefully I can help with some basic coding stuff , compiling etc.. .

Edit: Looks there my be something better , dfort started this Compiling Magic Lantern with Cygwin/MinGW-64 , I'll maybe give this a try .

Hello browsing though SourceForge open source software and came across jdlRaw_0_8_2_Windows programs
It's a lot like ACR but better , you have a lot of choice on debayering algorithms , different color e.g. Lab , RGB , load icc profiles etc.. .
A cool thing , I converted the Camera Raw VisionLog DCP I have to icc profile and load it up to Log  8)
Description from  SourceForge ,
QuotejdlRaw manipulates raw images from digital cameras and is based on dcraw and imagemagick.
It does exposure correction, curve application in RGB/CIELAB space and USM/Refocus sharpening. Includes also lensfun and noise reduction algorithms.
Just playing around with it right now and I like it a lot some screen shots below:

The last 2 screen shots are the Info tab about the dng file , it looks like it reads all the Raw Tags plus some other metadata
I'm very impressed with what it can do , I think it's a Must have Tool at least for PC's I'm not sure if there's a Mac version , didn't really check.

Edit: Oh yea , here the link to it https://sourceforge.net/projects/jdlraw/

Hi , I'm looking in to upgrade my over clocked killer workstation i7 Hackintosh from Yosemite to macOS Sierra.
But I'm hearing issue with Gatekeeper , as I used tonymacx86.com to build my Hackintosh I did some research
and it seems that's Apple has removed this option . But if you had it setup in EL Capitan it will continue to work
if not then you will have to enable it with Terminal.

Here are the commands for terminal

Allow from Anywhere (Turns off the Gatekeeper checks)
sudo spctl --master-disable

Re-enable Gatekeeper
sudo spctl --master-enable

You can read about it here from tonymacx86.com

Yes , ProRes of all flavours will I didn't try XQ thou but I uploaded this 2:00 min video to YouTube as a ProRes4444 12bit codec.

This 2:00 min clip is all Out Take's that didn't make it in the final news story I was working on
so there is a few soft focus and a little shake here and there .
Shot  with 5D2 100 mm macro IS f2.8L in full frame & 3x crop mode
100 ISO , Aperture set to 5.4 , 1872x936 & 1920x960 @ 23.976p
so with @ 100mm in 3xcrop (300mm) mode it can get very shaky
I used my Zacuto  Z-Finder Pro 3x (no longer available just 2.5x now) to pull focus.
It's the same one I use we my Zacuto EVF Snap
                                                                                                                   






I processed the raw file with resolve to get a Log like image so fcpx could de-log with
built in Arri LogC preset , then applied  Log C Alexa to Log C Film Matrix 3D LUT.
I started a new tread on the FCPX Log workflow here

Below is the Metadata from the uploaded  prores4444 file.

Hello   :D

Final everything is back to normal from the server upgrade
I've  fix the messed up posts(16) from the server thread
and started a new topic for LogC in FCPX workflow.

I have been trying to perfect my log workflow from blackmagic resolve 12.5 to de-log & grade in fcpx in a ArriC like Log profile .
As everyone loves the images from the Alexa camera , I've been working to get a Alexa Arri  like LogC ProRes4444XQ file.
I'm very close , It all depends on the filming style it seems if you use ETTR practice's (not the module) you can mince it plus a few other variables .

First I processed the MLV with MLVFS imported in to Resolve with the audio linked up and exported as source resolution in ProRes 4444XQ Full Range. As per my Video Tutorial below





Now I imported my ProRes4444XQ files in to FCPX setup the project , so the first thing to do is de-log the clips , so I use the preset ARRI LogC


Screen Shot 2016-10-11 at 5.23.55 PM

Then I apply the free LUT Loader from Pixel Films with a LogC_Alexa_to_LogC_Film_Matrix_EE.cube
Link to the 3D Cude from my Dropbox  https://www.dropbox.com/s/2jgjj79oi4vkgjg/LogC_Alexa_to_LogC_Film_Matrix_EE.cube?dl=0
The Credit for the LUT goes to @baldavenger from his thread  DaVinci Resolve 12 and ML Raw  
Below are the complete LUT Loader setting with tinting

Now here is the finish video or mostly    :P
This 2:00 min clip is all Out Take's that didn't make it in the final news story I was working on
so there is a few soft focus and a little shake here and there .
Shot  with 5D2 100 mm macro IS f2.8L in full frame & 3x crop mode
100 ISO , Aperture set to 5.4 , 1872x936 & 1920x960 @ 23.976p
so with @ 100mm in 3xcrop (300mm) mode it can get very shaky
there no audio just background noise.

Please Note I uploaded this file as a ProRes4444 3.5GB and YouTube compressed it

So FYI YouTube Supports 12bit Apple ProRes4444 files
You know the Old Saying " Garbage In Garbage Out" , as long as you have a fast net connection this is the way to go.

General Chat / EOS DSLR Internal Color Pipe Line
October 04, 2016, 07:39:57 AM
Over the last mouth or so I been researching the internal color pipe line to understand what's really going and if there a way to manipulate it .
I guess I should start with the basic's (some already know this part but bare with me) Will most dslr to my knowledge follow a digital still cameras ISO standard which is called "ISO 17321"

The following came from this PDF  https://www.cs.sfu.ca/~mark/ftp/IsoWg18/holm.wd2.pdf
QuoteThe DSC(digital still cameras) characterisations obtained using this International Standard are expressed as transformations. These transformations, when applied to raw DSC data, produce estimates of scene (or original) colorimetry. The most common transformation form is a set of tone reproduction curves (TRCs) for each DSC analysis channel, followed by a matrix, followed by a single TRC applied to each of the three channels produced by the matrix. The purpose of the first set of TRCs is to linearize the DSC data with respect to scene radiance, and normalize the data with respect to the adopted white point. These TRCs may vary from scene to scene because of DSC flare, even if the adopted white point remains constant. The matrix transforms the data from the linear DSC spectral space to estimates of scene colorimetry expressed in the linear original RGB colour space, which is also defined in this International Standard. Different matrices based on different scene spectral correlation assumptions, and obtained using each of the three methods described may be used with the same DSC. The final TRC converts the linear original RGB data to ISO original RGB data, which is a more perceptually uniform representation for encoding. This TRC is based on the EOCF(electro-optical conversion function**relationship between the digital code values provided to an output device and the equivalent neutral densities produced by the device**) of an IEC standard sRGB display without veiling glare, so that any scene dynamic range can be represented. In addition to being relatively uniform perceptually, data encoded in this manner has the advantage that if it is displayed on an ideal sRGB display, the colorimetry of the display when viewed in a dark room (with no veiling glare) will match the estimated colorimetry of the scene or original viewed under the capture illuminant, with the adopted white point transformed to that of the display (D65) in the manner specified in this International Standard..... .

QuoteThe linear original RGB to XYZ conversion matrix is determined based on the CIE XYZ values for the reference white point. This is accomplished by pre-multiplying the equi-energy original RGB to XYZ matrix with a diagonal matrix containing the XYZ values of the reference white point, as shown in equations 8 and 9, which are for D65 and D50 respectively.

QuoteThe recommendation for extended bit depth and gamut ISO original RGB is therefore to use the last bit for a sign, the second to last bit for gamut extension of the normalized linear values above unity, and any additional bits for extended bit depth. The minimumbit depth requirement for extended gamut is therefore 10-bits per channel with k = 255. If 16-bits per channel are available, it is possible to increase k to 16 383 and still encode a full perceptual gamut of colours.

So as I understand it sensor data -->ISO original RGB -->XYZ conversion matrix-->D65 or D50 white point in sRGB wide gamut matrix determent by scene original color with what there called
extended bit depth and gamut ISO original RGB.
It's interesting that there 4 Tone curve being applied , 1 per RGB channel = 3  and 1 curve over the whole RGB image .
So much more to understand.



So how dose this work with Picture Style , Will I believe that and my research seem to verify that Pic.Style are really ICC profiles that have acr like adjustments applied to the Base Matrix.
And all cameras base matrix are not all equal to each other.
Because if you examine what's happen after the sensor data before ISO RGB there is tone curve applied to each channel (which linearize them) normalize the data with respect to the adopted white point. Then there is a tone curve applied to all channel (RGB) etc... .
With respect to CineStyle pf2 file , I do firmly believe that you are really applying not only the base adjustments saturation , contrast , sharpness , etc... .
but a color matrix or in this case Log color space .
Since I have a 5D2 the cinestyle pf2 file was design for my camera so I have no need to reverse engineer it , but what I do see here is with raw video . Knowing ML dose I think do some
XYZ conversion to RGGB raw data . My thought was if with could apply some sort of Log space that's save to mlv , maybe it not possible not sure.

There more to come , hope so far this information is useful to someone .  :D

Hi , It looks look I found a way to get DPX frame/image to generate a preview in Mac OSX finder .

MacPro 4.1 Screen Shot 2016-09-11 at 9.03.05 PM

I found a Open Source Pluggin called DPX4Mac on sourceforge.net , link to home page-->  https://sourceforge.net/projects/dpx4mac/
Below is the direct download
DPX4MacQuickLook.A0004-0.1.dmg download

Now you my ask why is this so important ? Will at one time DPX image sequence was supported in FCP7 with Gluetool .
Last year I had some success in getting DPX sequences in to FCPX , The problems was the image was sometimes black then after a reboot it look ok  ,but it was easy to break .
So I thought I would give it a another go and see if I can make it stable . Some my think that's great but why ? Will my hope is to take MLV Raw and convert to Log DPX and
of course I know this can be in command line Etc... . and do all my color correction,  edits ,  Vfx etc.. with DPX files in FCPX.
Please note  I'm using Yosemite 10.10.5 MacPro 4.1 with a Nvidia GTX570 2.5GB ram vid card , not sure if OS X El Capitan is supported

Hi , Just like it says I did a Picture Style HDMI Capture & internal ML H264 Recording  of LogNetural plus TechCineStyle , C-LOG-htp , Canon Netural , Canon Standard , Canon Landscape & Canon Monochrome (Just for the hell of it :) .  I used a static Image with all setting the same on My 5D2  ,  I Also would to make note of the Color Space on the 5D2 , not all EOS camera internal recording is in Rec709 , the 5d2 and I not to sure about others record to SD color space in Full range and that's why for at least the 5d2 the Techincolor CineStyle works so will. Now 5D3 and other record in Rec709, so the LogNetural would be better suited Picture Style . That being said I found very little difference on my 5D2 between Techincolor CineStyle & LogNetural  . I notice a little more lift in the mids with Tech.CineStyle then LogNetural . To make this a good compare test I add 6 other picture Styles , Why you my ask ? will this is really to see how good the HDMI Stream is as it's effected by Picture Style from liveview . This would I did , Captured the HDMI Stream in 2 different formats & codecs. I captured to DPX 10BE RGB , Apple 10bit ProRes 422HQ(260Mb/s) & Apple 8bit YCbCr Uncompressed (1000 Mb/s) Once in FCPX I Screen Capture every Picture Style from h264 , prores , YCbCr & exported single frames from each file .
I'll post links to my dropbox to all the Screen Captures & exported Frames as png's also i'll have a link for the Single Frame DPX file too.

Well that's not all of the screen shots , but you can link out to my Flickr page to see all shots , plus I have Dropbox links to All of the PNG's
and don't forget I also have Dropbox Video links to  a 60MB 1080 60i prores & 28MB 24p H264 file.

Thanks for your time , I'll be back with more comments & suggestions .  :)

Hope that get's your attention  ;) I came a cross a open source app (PC & Mac) that Capture the video stream thought the USB 2.0 cable to your computer .
Here the link to the software called "EOS Camera Movie Record 0.3.3 beta"  , did some testing with ML installed on my 5D2.
There's some limitations of course , you don't get the full HD and it's more then SD (720x480) it's some where in between  1024x680 as a AVI .

Now the interesting thing is you can record in 3X Crop mode or as the app says 5x Zoom , Here some screen shots .

In Crop mode you get a bigger frame size 1120x752 and for some reason the encode rate is very high almost 85 Mbp/s where as in 1:1 it's around 50 Mbp/s

Configuration window , I had it up to 10MB buffer but didn't see any real difference in performance or compression .

Here are some sample in my dropbox that can be downloaded  :D

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hjcmzv15wqjmwqn/out_6.avi?dl=0   (275MB - 3x Crop Mode)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/37o1svocliz2h96/out_7.avi?dl=0       (145MB - 1:1 Mode)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4pym0rf0kqfw6m9/out_9.avi?dl=0    (356MB - 3x Crop Mode)

I Know way back a few years ago A1ex had this working but not sure if it was internal recording or not , I guess I should mention it's YUV @ 4:2:2 MJPG compression same as the 1DC .
The big drawback is the lack of resolution , I was looking at the code  but really could not see where this limitation is . Or could this be a Jpeg chip hardware limitation ? If ML could implement MJPG compression over h264 that would great or for proxy record it limited to 1024x680 & 1120x752 resolutions , mind you I did not try to record raw video at the same time as USB capture , I was being cautious not to brick my 5D2 .

One thing I did notice thou if you change the Picture profile from Landscape to Neutral and customize the setting  , as this effect the live view the capture rate in 1:1 mode drop down in fps from 24+ to around at the lowest I saw 22 fps but this dose not effect 3X Crop it still captures at 24p . So this leads me to believe that the native Color/Picture Profile is Landscape mode for liveview
where the camera resources are taxed that much more to dropdown performance .

Will I hope this is helpful to anyone if you need to capture a live event for hours , just not at full HD that all , unless some dev. knows how to change the resolution or if we could record  internally with raw that would be better  8) .
Thanks for reading , have a great day !

Hi, just like the subject says Free as in ''free beer"  ;D
I started to finish off the low budget Indie movie i have been working on
over the last 3-4 mouths , and because time is money (& production company run out of $$$ ,  :-\)
I needed a way to quickly grade all the raw file that where converted to ProRes4444XQ thought A.E.cc
(needed the the superior noise reduction! & didn't what to kill my GPU & resources with neat video)
So the fastest way of course is to work with LUTs & the "de-log function" in the info clip panel setting .
So i found some very helpful tools to get the job very quickly without me loosing too much money  :P
For LUT support in fcpx you need a plugin , and pixel studio offers one for free fcpx-lut-loader
then you can load any LUT you what even build your own thou all the free software online just search it.
Here a post on the ml forum for free LUTs color grading pack of 35 LUTs
The other helper free grading tools for fcpx comes from CoreMelt ,  bought slicex powered by mocha
some time ago and i love the tool pack , specially the "mocha" tracking and there now a limited free version of that software free-plugins slicefree

This was a surprise ! coremeltfree , you get in there Color Tools "RGB Levels &Curves" , DSLR Flat , BMCC Flat , Source Timecode , De-wrinkler , etc. ...... .  8)
Yea that should speed thinks up a bit.
Hope this can help some of you dedicated Final Cut Pro X user ,
Like Me  :D

Hi all , So I made the leap and installed fresh load of  El Capiton (10.11.3)
on my backup MP5.1 (quad 3.2Ghz) on SSD , One thing I have to say it pick up the performance
big time, near speeds of my OC i7(4.7Ghz) hackintoss   :o

As I was going thought the setting to configure everything , I notice in the
Monitor Preferences , calibration there a pre-set for "Aces CG (Academy Color Encoding System)  :)
Display P3, Rec. ITU-R BT.2020-1 , Rec. ITU-R BT.709-5 , ROMM RGB: ISO 22028-2:2013 , SMPTE RP 431-2-2007 DCI (P3)
SEE image at the bottom of the post to get a sense of the new color display

Good read , highly recommend !
http://blog.conradchavez.com/2015/10/27/new-os-x-color-profiles-strengthen-mac-digital-cinema-support/

Now this where it gets very Interesting , I have a  Asus LED (pro art) PA23Q 23" DP, HDMI , Etc....
Which claims to be 100% of sRGB and have a "delta e" of less then 5 and a 10bit Lut to 8bit RGB etc...
Why would any one care about it  ::) well it seems that my Monitor has a factory profile for "ACES" in El Capiton
Or it covers the specification for the display profile (I'm connected on the DP (display port) for a GTX570 2.5GB ram) 
maybe that's why there now optional 10bit video now with
El Capiton , but it seems to be on the 4K & 5K retina displays , Dell 10bit monitor at this point



Dell U2711 10bit is the Monitor that used with this mac

Hello all , Do you want to get the results of ACR but without having to use Adobe A.E. etc....
there's  new tools for PC to extract & or process Raw Video in .mlv or .raw format.
Will there are not really new but there have been around for a little while , but the development
has be making major progress of late so I think it's time to include them in the raw video workflow.

I made a short Video about MLVProducer & MLVFS for Windows , It's just a general over view and as I read
The MLVProducer Thread I notice there is new features being added so I'll have to update the video
Plus I show how to install MLVFS for windows including register the MLV formatter .dll

Hey everyone ,  So what does it take to get Canon so mad that there will sue for damages will read this canon-is-suing-get-it-digital-and-others-to-stop-gray-market-dslr-sales 
So if you are in a market for a 5D Markiii , be careful where you buy it from.
Here is a few highlights  Canon is suing for
Quote•Using counterfeit serial numbers on gray market Canon products
•Lack of enforceable warranties or inferior warranty coverage
•Packaging that does not accurately describe the products contained therein

Hi FCPX users , I was doing some research for luts in fcpx as there no native support , you  need 3rd partly software.
So Pixel Film Studios is offering there Lut Loader, nominally priced at $49.95 USD, but for a limited amount of time there are offering
the software for Free  :D

I created a free account and order it , pixel film studios sent me a email link and downloaded it , but haven't installed yet.
Link to the lut loader----> http://store.pixelfilmstudios.com/plugin/fcpx-lut-loader

James Miller from Deluts.com made a quick video showing lut loader in action

I Did some testing with PC ML Tools for raw video to see what extractor are working
properly on Windows 10.  I tested 4 different tools with different Version .

Raw2Cdng: Ver. 1.4.9
Raw2Cdng: Ver. 1.6.5
Raw2Cdng: Ver. 1.7.4


raw2cdng did not run in Win10 on the initial try, even right click run as "admin" did nothing . The program started up but could not
Import file, the drop & drag with "x" out. So to get it to run I had to right click on program and run the "windows compatibly" it did it thing
and choose to run it under "Win8" and then it fully work with out issue even ver.1.7.4 had no problem. I Tested Ver1.0 Raw & MLV ver2.0 with audio.
*Note* if you try and run it under Win7 compatibly you get a heavy green cast in the Cdng's.

MLRawViewer: Ver.1.3.3
MLRawViewer: Ver.1.3.4
MLRawViewer: Ver.1.4.3


Had not problem with MLRawViewer , just run off the .exe No right click and run as "admin" plus I exported on all three version to "DNG" & .Mov
Tested MLV ver2.0 & Raw ver1.0

MlVProducer: build 1101

MLVProducer Run flawlessly , did some adjustment ( by the way @AWPStar nice updates  ;) ) Exported to ProRes444 & H264-422 75Mb/s file.
I was getting 3.3FPS rendering to prores & 3.0FPS to H246 422 75MB/s. I thought that was a little slow but not to bad thou.
Now the only thing that is missing for that program is Exporting to "Cdng"
But one thing I notice was as I exported to h264 the file was playing while rendering , is there a key to turn off preview while rendering ?
Tested with MLV Ver.2.0

MLVViewSharp

Run the windows compatibly programs , run under Win8 . Export to DNG+Wave from a MLV ver2.0 file.

*Note* The MLV Test was 1872x936 a spanning file , so 2 files for a total of 8GB from my 5D2
and the RAW test files was 1872x1250 about 1GB

My Test Computer is AMD FX 8350 Overclock to 4.9GHz, 8GB dual channel Ram, Dual GTX580 GPU's 3GB ram total, SSD for OS, Window 10 Pro
I originally had Windows7 Pro then I did the free Upgrade to Windows10 Pro , so all programs & driver followed over except my video driver
had to install them manually, after that no other issue or problems.

Hi All Got my Hands on some Test footage from the New C300 Mark2 from Phillip Bloom
He did a review a few weeks ago On the Pre-Production Model and posted the Internal recorded footage for download.
I guess he will also release the Raw 4K footage soon.
The files are MXF 10bit AVC 4:2:2 , C-LOG 2 and C-Gamut I have a detailed metadata for the 2 files .
So if you like to have a look at the test footage I have uploaded to my Dropbox the links are below.
Be Warned ! there are 960 MB & 845 MB files. There can be view in Premiere Pro cc 2014

Since I'm a Creative Cloud member I thought I would take a look at speedgrade again , the first time used it back about 1 year ago I couldn't get any good result. Now that MLVFS has two ColorMatrix from adobe embedded , I gave it a go again this time I'm getting better results close to what I can get from ACR/A.E. The biggest problem I had or have is getting the color space correct , I use the Cdng default for the timeline then in the clip tab I Override the input default colorspace with the one I built but it take a very long time and I still needed to add a Lut, used "Blue Ice - SL - 3527" . There is still some issue with high lights, can't seem to get the right raw color space .

Used a linear colorspace Curve, had to pump up the blacklevel in the Hi(.015),mid(.009),Lows (.014) .
Exposure ,Hi(6.5) Mid(8.5) Low(8.6)
Raw White Balance : Red-1 , Green1-1.017 , Green2-1.021 , Blue-0.882
Matrix: Hi-1.251- +R.083 +G-0.097 +B-0.005
Matrix: Mid-  -0.23 +R0.516 +G-0.014 +B0.011
Matrix: Low- 0.173 +R-0.009 +G0.931 +B-0.031

I wonder if there is anyone who has good success with Cdng's from ML in speedgrade and if so how did you achieve the right raw color space ?
Or is there anyone who uses speedgrade on a regular basis, that has any tips to share , thanks.

Hello All, Just posting a Short video about the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation fundraiser by the owners of Classic tattoo in Red Deer AB. Can.
Fundraiser to take place on June14th 2015.
Last year they raised $26,000 for the Foundation , The Hospital see's over 220,000 sick children a year all on private donations without any Government funding.
Lucas & Jayme Ford talk about how the Stollery saved there son "Hudson" life though 3 corrective heart surgery  procedure
that started at 14 days Old  and is waiting for the final procedure in 3 - 4 years.

Film on 5d2 with MLV+audio @ 1872*936-23.976 fps, Canon EF24-70mm f2.8L @f2.8 , ISO 400.
Workflow: MLV--> MLVFS-->  Cdng's --> After Effect cc+acr-->ProRes4444XQ-->FCPX
I use the camera Embedded Color metric's which give a much more flatter & desaturated image.
I have noticed that to be successful with ACR is to jump on the Contrast slider & give major negative gain, this dose 2 things in my opinion.
Take out excessive black & sharping the image , and then bring back the level with the Tone curve.
But first I make sure the image is expose properly by using the ETTR-technique ,this a must for clean shadows without noise on the 5d2.

April 20th 2015 4:20 Protest Rally in Red Deer, Alberta - Canada
The Event was shot in the Run & Gun style , So really no time to setup the "Shot"
Filmed over  a 90 Minute period which yielded me 64GB(Lexar 1066x) of 1872x936 & (1920x960 crop mode) @23.976+Audio raw video in 43 clips with MLV.
5D Mark ii Camera setup , EF24-70L f2.8L Set to f8 with a ND fader ISO 100. For focusing I use my Zacuto Z-Finder Pro3x which snap to the back of the LCD screen.
This gives great focus assist when I'm not using my HDMI Zacuto EVF.
Workflow MLV/Raw--> MLVFS(Cdng) to After Effect cc thought Adobe import Script , Pre-Grade with Tone Curve to a legal Color Space for Video then exported to
New Linear Apple Codec ProRes4444 XQ
Edited, Final Grade & Scaled to 1920x1080p in FCPX 10.2 on 13inch MBP running Yosemite 10.2.
The whole project took about 4 Hours from Start to finish , that's includes Rendering in A.E. to ProRes

I don't know if anyone has come across this before, I have the Full Cdng & DNG Preview in Windows Explorer Now  8).
I was at the Adobe site downloading the DNG SDK kit to start to understand the DNG/Cdng structure
because I what to look at the possibility of Wrapping Cdng raw in a MXF container file with auto & metadata , proxy mp4  etc. ...... So on my quest to learn
I came upon a download called  "DNG codec Ver 2.0 for Windows 7 & 8" Link--> http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5495&fileID=5491
What the hell never know able this before, Below are screen shot of my PC i7 Laptop on Windows 7.
The Top Window are the DNG's from mlv_dump And the bottom Window are Cdng's are from chmee's raw2cdng Ver. 1.6.5
Nice now I check out the images with out having to start any programs and easily find any bad frames or view your FRSP's .

One thing is curious thou the Camera metadata from mlv_dump is there but not from Raw2Cdng
Even thou it was a .mlv raw video file to begin with .
Anyways if this has been discovered before  ,  Will I Re-Discovery it  :D

Hello All , I while back I was ask to review raw video workflows here on the forum as some are now obsolete or becoming (eg. eye frame converter )
and there is new ones like MLVFS ,"on the fly" MLV to CDNG converter. But let's not get ahead of our selfes , First I would like to go over the video file base workflow
as there is still people need this for there choice of NLE that has no support for cdng's  or just want a Video File.

***Note*** The following is from my personal point of view of what I found to work very well for client work , that needs a quick turn around time
(eg. news stories,  short doc., music videos etc...) I Will be incorporating MLVFS in my next project that's waiting to be edited & give a detailed review.

As FCPX is my choice of NLE I can use either Cdng's or Video files ,but video files are easier on the system special when doing VFX where there can but multiply layers.
I extracted the Cdng's files on PC with raw2cdng ver 1.4.9.3 as version greater then 1.5.0 do not display right in finder (pink cast) so if finder can't read them right
FCPX , Motion , Compressor will see the pink cast & they are unusable.
To Make my Video File I use After Effects cc with ACR and export to the new ProRes4444XQ by way of my hack install.

                                                     First Image  is from raw2cdng ver1.4.9.3 WB is lock to 4900K but its raw so WB dose not matter ISO 200 50MM Sigma.

Hey All apple just updated all the Pro App for video, big think I see is more stability ,
Fix a problem with Bluray disc & image creation , XML round-trip , better data management .  :)

Hello All, first I would like to thank jimmyD30 for the video link to "Another GUI" with FFMpeg .
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43638030/AnotherGUI_1_8.zip
I Check out this program and since its uses ffmepg I thought I would give it a try with MLV straight from my 5D2 no DNG's
and as reported ffmpeg will read Magic Lantern MLV Raw v2.0 Native.

I did try to export to ProRes4444 but I have a wrong argument and get error , but I'm working on that.  :)

Edit: final got the picture view right  ::)

Used the last FFmpeg version: 2014-06-02 git-2c23f87

General Chat / Open EXR - Compression Yes or No ?
May 26, 2014, 11:19:56 PM
Hi all I'm Started to switch my raw workflow over to 2015 Autodesk Smoke for Mac from FCPX.
I learned on Big projects , it just not possible slows the system down to much etc.... so  as the subject says
I what to know if any one has any thoughts on the subject , Reasons is that Smoke dose not support Cdng's or DNG's. :(
So being I'm converting anyways I think the next best format ( and File Size is not a issue 6TB Raid5) is Open EXR v2.1
I did think of DPX as the 2012 Smoke backend use 12bit DPX but it just as easy to use open exr and I can use the new a.c.e.s
color science plus Finder can read it native,  :)
Just not sure how to get the metadata from mlv to open exr , hoping A.E. can do that . Did some test who no compression exr
@ 32bit float looked killer, but at 14 Mb file from 3.8 raw I want to being that down but not to kill quality need a balance.
I don't know enough about the compression side or exr. :D

Why Autodesk Smoke you my ask when I can use Adobe or Resolve ?
first I use to use  2012 Smoke, but be on that it's a all in one App.
Editing, VFX, Grading great support for fcpxml, edl's, xml's, etc... so you can have round trips.
It's now more affordable then ever,  but that's just my opinion  ;)

I was doing some research on the FFmpeg with ML raw support and I come upon a new Tool for converting Image Sequences or videos
Called "ClipToolz" It's a paid pc app, and to my Surprise it supports Magic Lantern Raw ! :o

QuoteClipToolz RAW will process cinemaDNG video files as well as .RW2 and .CR2

QuoteClipToolz RAW provides a RAW File Extractor function for extracting .dng RAW files from Magic Lantern .RAW format.



QuoteDEBAYER ALGORITHM
There are excellent programs available for working with RAW images. Adobe ACR and BlackMagic Design's
DaVinci Resolve are both top-notch applications that provide a wealth of specialized functions designed expressly
for working with RAW. RAW Therapee is also a great app for working with RAW. ClipToolz RAW does however
provide an alternative in utilizing the dcraw Adaptive Homogeneity-Directed (AHD) interpolation algorithm.
This algorithm performs considerably better with some images from Magic Lantern RAW and BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera
where color artifacts appear.
