I'm curious if it's at all possible to write raw video files out through a camera's USB port directly onto something like a USB flash drive, something like having the EDMAC copy the sensor readout to the USB controller instead of the SD controller. Of course, all current ML-supported cameras have USB 2.0 or slower, which in real-world situations tops out around 20MB/s, so this feature would only be practical if it were possible to dual-write to both the SD/CF and USB port at the same time (same way the 5D3 can dual-write to both CF+SD at the same time).
I know this idea has been kicked around here from time to time (like here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=6128.msg57345#msg57345) but it's never really been seriously pursued.
If this could be done, it could provide a pretty significant boost to all cameras (at least 2.0 models) in terms of raw recording capabilities. Cameras like the 650D, 700D, 70D, and EOS-M could theoretically write up to ~60MB/s.
