When using false colour is it accurate when shooting h264 footage? Does anyone use this to judge exposure when lighting?

I'm wondering if its possible to connect my Canon 5DmkII to my macbook to get a live feed shooting raw.  I'm shooting on location in the city and am using a shallow depth of field so want to make sure I am nailing focus as I only have one chance to get this footage.  I've read that you can do this with a program using Windows, but I am using a Macbook. Any info would be great.

I have just bought a Nexus 7 Tablet to use as a monitor with my canon 5dII via USB OTG cable.  It seems to work when trying to record h264 footage but the screen is black when trying it with Raw or MLV.  Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution? Or is it not possible to monitor via USB while recording in Raw? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The last time I checked in to the forum I was reading that it may damage (possibly fry) the camera. But this was when this option first became available.  Now that it has been developed further, is the Dual ISO image funtion now deemed as safe to use?

Just curious as to what the highest possible resolution is when filming 30fps with a 1000x card.  Ive just ordered a Komputerbay 1000x

When going into the FPS overide setting. If I put the desired FPS at 35 (from 24) will that record at 35fps? Even if it says that actual fps is 24.844 in that same menu.

I'm just wondering if anyone can help me out on this. I am going to be making a music video on the 5DII and am wanting a very slight slow motion effect. So Im going to film in 30fps and then convert to 24fps.  I understand that on the day of filming I will have to speed up the song for this to work.  So, does anyone know at what percentage I need to speed up the song for this to work.  Thanks
