Any truth to what I was reading on a Vimeo posting that unless you are using the faster SD cards (i.e. Sandisk Extreme) you are losing video (data rate) quality?

Maybe I'm missing something here. Have not needed any more spare cards until now but for some reason I cannot get them to work.

I have a Canon 60D and I did the install for ML per instructions several months ago. I have two Transcend 16gb cards that work fine.

I had a folder on my PC with the ML folder and seven additional files that I'm sure I used months ago to make the two cards I now use. I have exFat to format the cards with a reader (although I have also done it in the camera). I've done that and copied the ML material to them... compared files and sizes... but they do not work. Using the same Transcend series 10 16gb as before.

I get no instant LED flash when the card is inserted, as I do with the known good cards, and the LED does not blink when powered up indicating it is reading from the cards. No ML is present after power on. Done this a half dozen times and not sure where I'm going wrong.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Installed ML a few months ago. As before I have 720 60P but not 30P.

Has there been any update that will provide for 30P or any kind of workaround to make that happen with this camera?

Thanks!

Wanted to share my slider project. Posted over on the DV info site.

Playing around with my 60D over the weekend I had the camera abort the recording as soon as it was started several times. Using 16gb Transcend SDHC 10 cards. All cards were freshly formatted and had nothing on them but ML.

One card would not run hardly at all. The other card seemed to work fine but would abort now and then. Usually after the camera had been turned off so it was the first recording. After that it was usually OK.

If the camera records at 21Mbs and these cards are good for 30 there should be some margin there. Have used them with other HD video cameras with no issues.

I should also say I was outside with the camera. Temp was around 70F and sunny. Camera in the shade for the most part but had some sun now and then.

What are you folks using and do you have these aborts.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

First off, can I assume the codec used on my Canon 60D is the same as that used in the Canon Mark 5D series?

If so, according to Wiki the HD bitrate (for the 5D) is 38 megabits per second but I believe this is way higher than the SD card can handle or am I mistaken?

Please enlighten me. Looking for more information on what the specs are for the recording of HD video on my 60D.

Thanks!

Apparently the 4b file limit is due to the FAT32 file format used on memory cards. Just wondering if reformatting them to NTFS would alter the limitation as it does with any basic computer system?

["you can get clean HDMI with the latest V1.2.3 Canon firmware...."]

Prior to learning about ML I was informed the HDMI output from the 60D was unusable for recording to a digital recorder like the Atomos. Something about the screen res being off and data showing up
on the screen.

Does the ML update take care of this and is the HDMI output now a clean, data-free, full HD signal?

Thanks

Update: I found a reply on this forum from someone who answered a similar question RE: clean HDMI video out on the 60D and they said "you can get clean HDMI with the latest V1.2.3 Canon firmware...."

My understanding is you need Canon's V1.1.1 in the 60D to run ML so I'm still confused on this.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have ML installed on my Canon 60D and its fantastic.

I have one issue that I hope can be resolved. I like to see the exposure meter at the bottom of the screen so I can get an idea of just where I'm at. I can toggle back to the original screen (sans ML) if need be but I'd rather see it with ML info.

Now, if I half press the shutter it pops up but only for as long as it is pressed. It does not remain at all. A few seconds would be all I need.

Is there a setting for how long it will remain after releasing the shutter. I cannot find one but maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks!
