What program do you use to view your .RAW files on you computer once you've shot them?  I've already loaded ML on to my CF card and can shoot RAW, but wondered what program used to view the .RAW video once it has been shot?

I'm learning photography and wondering what the best and most current editing suites are for working with RAW video and also photography?  And do most have a preference for Macs or PCs for your workflow?  Thanks.

On my 5D mark II I have ML running and the RAW video which I run at 1880x740 on this camera looks great and plays using windows media player.  On my 5D Mark III, I also have ML running and the RAW video looks grainy at any resolution, and is not as sharp or vibrant.  Also, the video from the Mark III won't play in windows media player, unlike the Mark II, it will only play using mlviewerraw.exe.  Both cameras have the latest firmware update from Canon, and both are running the newest versions of ML.

Is the Mark III that much better at shooting video in ML than the mark II?  I realize it shoots at a little higher resolution, has faster AF, and higher ISO.  What am I missing?  Is it $2,000 better?  I'm trying to look for a reason to upgrade.

While shooting with magic lantern, I understand you can't use autofocus.  However, can you control the aperature, white balance, ISO, etc. while you are shooting, or does it stay fixed?  Also, what mode do you set your camera in while shooting with ML?
