Raw Video / 5DIII corrupted files?
October 16, 2014, 03:11:42 PM
Hi,
I used ML with the "stable" version for 5D3 for over one year. I also used MLRawViewer since 1.1.3. Before vacation I updated ML to the nightly build, check for recording and on the display. Everything fine and I started. Unfortunately MLRawViewer is not able to create a MOV from the RAWs! Not the 1.3.0 or any other older version I used before. Has the format changed or what can I do to recover my RAW files? On the display in the camera I can see the movie picture by picture. But the MOV resulting from export is always black (but with sound).
Any hint?
Thanks in advance

Raw Video / Read Meta data of RAW file
January 29, 2014, 10:31:01 AM
Hi,
I recorded a bunch of small clips to test RAW. After creating DNGs, converting to TIF and reassemble with QT to mov I got a question from QT, which frame rate should be used. Unfortunately I couldn't remember. Is there a tool to retrieve this information: frame/s, resolution ...?

Hi,
I'm just experimenting with RAW videos on my Mac. I use raw2dng. After processing I get a mov file. In a special case it is too dark.

What would be the best way to correct this? Should I use the DNG files in the folder and let Photoshop correct them all in the same way, e.g. make them brighter? How can I batch them all?
After that I have to put them together again as a mov. Which app should I use?

How can I check, which color depth the mov has? Is it always 8 bit per color or is the created mov in a better quality than a "normal" mov of a 5DIII? What I mean is, does the superior quality of the raw remain in the mov or will it be reduced to 8 bit because this is the standard file format? If the quality is still better I could make the entire final mov brighter without touching the single DNG anymore.
Hope somebody did understand my thoughts!  ;D

Hello,
I downgraded my firmware of my 5D3 to 1.1.3 and installed ML. Everything fine. Is it possible to upgrade the firmware again or is ML relying continuously on 1.1.3?
Thanks in advance

General Help Q&A / Speedtest for CF card in 5DIII?
January 02, 2014, 02:25:34 PM
Is there anywhere in ML an option to check the speed of the inserted CF card?
Or do I have to set the max solution in videos mode and try to records several minutes? Droped frames or OK - this would indicate the assumed average transfer speed needed for this settings would be achieved by this card.

General Help Q&A / 5DIII: ML OFF means stand by?
January 02, 2014, 01:56:24 PM
Hi,
yesterday I did my first trials with ML on my new 5D3. To be sure, that my photos and videos will be fine, I started the camera while pressing the SET button. In top of the display a text "ML OFF" was shown. Okay, looked like original Canon Firmware is now active.

After switching to movie mode and starting recording the camera crashed with some messages clearly coming from ML. I thought ML is off. Why can the camera crash with ML errors if original firmware is running? What I have to do if I simply want the original behavior of the 5DIII?

I used ML from aug 2013 with firmware 1.1.3 installed. No further updates made.
Thanks in advance

General Help Q&A / Beginners questions
December 23, 2013, 11:43:29 AM
Hi,
I just bought a 5DIII and read a lot of stuff about ML.
To sort all these information and do things right at the first try, I still have some questions:

- I have to install ML on a SD? Or is CF also possible? (max. 16 GB)? (I have already 2 x 32 GB CF and one 2 GB SD card)
- As ML is installed I can change the CF and after formatting ML will also be copied to them even if they are larger than 16 GB, e.g. 128 GB?
- Can I use two different CF cards - one with and one with out ML - so if I change the cards I change with or without ML? Or is there a way without reformating the CF card?
- What write speed do I really need for a 5DIII? I saw 1000x (150 MB/s UDMA7), necessary and used?

Thanks in advance and merry Christmas
Dirk
