Well after testing the latest build i found one interesting thing... when i enable h264 movie mode, before shooting raw footage i get 50mb/s speed. if i disable movie mode i get 45-46 mb/s..humm interesting..
another interesting fact was that my digic 4 got so hot like 48deg that i think that fogged the back of my 24.70 l lens -.-'
could this be possible? i mean like the lens is weather sealed and this didn't happened before...

This might be interesting :O
looks like the 50d has a mic base built in :O

Guys, im getting considerably faster speeds by using an external monitor try it.. the buffer doesnt fill no where near like it used to when not using an external monitor.... got a 9mb/s speed improvement and a non filling buffer this was tested with a sandisk 60mbs max constant speed was 45mb otherwise would be 36 mbs

Hello everyone,
have been doing some testing and i would like to know how is your workflow from shooting to final video.
So, i capture the movie. use raw2dng to convert to dng, open the dng in after effects which opens camera raw and i make my adjustments in a supossed to be (14 bit) file. then when e edit the video im not getting the dinamic range that a 14 bit image should give me. is there any software that makes me able to work with dng's at their full color depth? im using after effects but im sure there is another way around....

Results im getting with my sandisk extreme 60mb/s UDMA 8 gb card

Hello everyone,

First off thank you very much for all the effort being made to make the canon 50d able to shoot raw video it's been an awesome great experience.
however i'ave some doubt's. im currently using the Greg's 28 may built, with a sandisk extreme 60mb/s udma 8gb card. im getting about 38mb/s stable wich makes me able to shoot in 1280x720 without any problems, i can get away by shooting in a bit higher resolution by comprimessing height. when i warm up the card i can shoot about 41mb/s without any problems.
Globaldraw on my camera with only peak focus enabled makes my write speed about 23mb/s so not good.
i also have download the nightly build however it doesnt come with raw movie module and the only way to get it is by replacing the autoexebin file and placing the modules folder also wich makes not using the nightly build since im replacing the autoexe bin file.... how do i use the latest nightly build and the raw module at the same time?
Ok so, lets say i have recorded some raw movie footage. i want to edit it. i use raw2dng to convert to a dng file wich is at color deph? 14 bit? because i export the dng files. open them in photoshop and the camera raw give me rgb values that are in 8 bit mode range not more than that. however. i open a dng file in after effects, and the rbg values are in the same range as photoshop was giving me. if i change the project settings to a color depth of 16bit the values change and are much higher like a true 14 bit file should be however, i export the movie file in a openexr open that file in nuke and the values are a 8 bit file.
that being said why is my camera shooting in 8 bit color depth mode not in 14 bit... or am i doing something wrong? is the dng file that raw2dng makes a 14 bit file? because my investigation dont indicate me that :/
i was expecting the dng files being a 14 bit image not a 8 bit color mode :C
well sorry for my poor english im from portugal.
thank you all for the effort being made to create this awesome hack
