That does not answer my questions and I am familiar with installing the s/w already asI have used it on a 60D and 5d3 (113) last year.

Hmm, looks like I have to go back to 113.
Last questions:

1. Is ML now safe(ish) to use the boot file to make ML permanent as against reloaded on every turn on as this will allow me to use a ACK-6 mains power instead of battery?

The older version would NOT load as the camera would report a battery fault with the ACK-6 and then go back to the boot firmware screen.

If all that is ok, then where is the current version or should I use one of the nightly builds?

Thanks for your help.

Is that likely to change any time soon, e.g., before the end of year etc?

If not, is it worth reverting back to f/w 113?

I do more stills than video .

I have used ML on a 60D but have changed it for a 5D3 with f/w 1.2.1.

Will ML work with it and does it need to be reloaded everytime of turning on the camera?

Sorry for the questions but getting confused about what is happening having updated the f/w from 113 however I do not have a video recording device for video but have noticed that with 121 it does not like non canon batteries and other than that cannot see what else has been added to 121. Does anyone know what are the changes and yes have looked on the UK and USA canon sites for info but they are very weak on giving such information?

Spoke to a Canon guy at Infocus at the NEC last week and he said that even the canon model has the same problem, eg, it does NOT have any smart chips installed.

So its a problem when using ML with a 5D3 and keep power running long term (ish).

?

follow on:

.. and yes, the limit is a right pain in the butt/ass (as appropriate).

The programmer seems to be worried on allowing the limit to be relaxed as he is under the impression it is breaking some EU laws.

This in fact is incorrect and that no law would be broken as the product is already in a EU country.

However the only way to get around it without the programmer (Alex) changing the source and binary file (ML program) is to download and alter the source code yourself and recompile it. That said getting the needed libraries together for any given platform is easier said than done, well it is for a Mandriva 2011.0 system.

Hope that helps a bit   

That's the problem with 3rd party ACK-xn kit they do not have a chip to report such.

There is no solution other than use a battery or a grip with a pair of batteries.

Have the same problem myself.

Anyone know if the Canon version has the same problems?

Very underpowered and if you look, it has some bad write-ups. Also not listed as UDMA let alone UDMA7.

Stick to Extreme or above although that said I have been using Transcend Premium (400x) UDMA7 CF 32GB and they appear to be fine and a lot cheaper.

The Transcend CF cards and with Sandisk Extreme Pro SDHC UHS-1 used together in a 5D III with the CF card for video.

Does anyone what criteria make the sensor overheat when shooting video?

eg, outside temp, recording mode, time of shooting etc.
Why, I would like to shoot some recordings of a meeting that will run well over one hour.

I then have to work out how to extend the 30 minute period apart from remembering to restart it every time.

Questions, question all I have is question.

.. and tomorrow maybe some answers   

Select Menu -> Spanner - > sub menu three (from left) -> secound down is 'Battery Info' SET, INFO now select 'Register'

Done , select Menu a few times to quit.

Ignore previous msg from me.

Total rubbish, well not answering the question.

However, one reason for keeping a time limit is a very serious risk of overheating the sensor.

The auto re-start is a normal Canon function to a max od 30 mins - 1 sec.

See page 232 of the Canon EOS 5D3 manual.

Note that you will lose up to a couple of seconds of video depending on Mem card speed.

My 4 pennies worth:

I have a 60D and had similar issues, change setting 2 & 3 to zero.

Check impedance of mic to that of 5d2 as some mics are not compatible but try first using int. mic for settings then reconnect ext. mic using same.

On a 60D bought in July 2012 but still trying to understand ML but cannot get audio monitoring to work.

Considering upgrade to a 5D3 with a 24-105 f4 lens just do not know if it will be better!!.
