Hi all.

Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue, and if there might be a solution out there.

After running ML for Canon firmware 1.1.3, and shooting both raw video and stills on my 5D3 for over a year with very few issues, I have just installed ML for 1.2.3 and am having a major problem.

About half of both my stills and videos are showing up with horizontal lines through them. The lines look very much like video interlacing lines and they are present from top to bottom of the frame.

I have tried removing the battery and rebooting, reinstalling ML, but no luck. This is still happening.

Here are 2 examples, the first being a video frame, and the second being a still frame:






I should note that the other half of my stills and videos turned out fine.

Any ideas? Solutions? Anything?  I'd surely appreciate it.

Thanks much

Hi everyone.

So I've scoured this site, and others, for possible solutions to the problem of not being able to playback raw video on the 5D3, and am wondering if this idea I have might possibly be a decent workaround.

I realize that the current raw capabilities on ML are based on Canon firmware version 1.1.3, which does not have clean HDMI out. So this precludes any external monitoring, or playback.

BUT, would it be possible to hook up an Atomos Ninja 2 to the RCA port on the 5D3 via an adapter cable (HDMI to RCA) and record to the Ninja that way? I realize that the quality would suffer, and so doing things like using the Ninja for focusing might be problematic, but I'm really only looking for the ability to playback the current shot to check for issues like framing and performance, so i can move on to the next shot with some level of confidence.

I have never used a Ninja before, and thus have no idea if this is even possible. Which is why I'm asking you.

Some of my concerns are:
- would I lose LiveView when connecting an RCA jack for output?
- would this affect write speed?
- Is this even possible at all?

Any comments, advice, other solutions, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all.

Hi all.

I'm really hoping someone can help me here.  I'm tring to install ML on my 5dM3 but am having a problem making the SD card bootable. I'm at the point where I have formatted the SD card (Transcend 8gb SDHC) in the camera, copied all the necessary files over to it, and am now ATTEMPTING to use EOScard.exe to make it bootable, before I update the firmware. The card is formatted FAT32.

Whenever I run EOScard I see an error on the bottom of the GUI that says "FAT32 VBR load failed",



The information displayed in the GUI is there, but everything is greyed out, including the check boxes. Clicking Refresh does not help.

I've searched high and low on the web and the only POSSIBLE solution I found was someone who said he skipped the EOScard step and just went right to the firmware update. I don't want to try that solution as it worries me.

Has anyone out there run into this before? How did you solve this problem?

Thanks everyone.
