Walter, thank you for your kind and professional responses.   Doing what you suggested I can shoot if everything comes together  but I still have no aspect ratio template when I try to shoot.  I am also getting error messages. for example, my ML reloaded without modules because of memory error.  When you can, can you walk me through how to reset to ML to factory default.  Even when I bough a new sd card and did the new daily, the ML index is missing items.  One example, the only place I can select an icon to show I am recording is from the modified list... no where else.   Im in Durango and need to shoot on the narrow gage steam train. I sure would appreciate your Advice to reset to default.  ThanksWalter... Joe Ray

Hi Folks, need to shoot project tonight and I am frustrated.
I have 5DMK3 with 1.2.3 and latest ML Nightly build. 
I installed new build tonight and when I go to record, my aspect ratio template and info disappears.  I am recording with no info on screen except picture I am shooting.  Please offer any suggestions... I have to shoot at 7:00pm mountain time.  Thanks, Joe Ray

Scott,
     I've shot 100's of 2 hour concerts with my 5DMK3 in Raw.  First, rent yourself 4 256GB CF 1066 cards.  Each one will give you 40 minutes of shooting.  Have your dad  pause for 30 seconds when he gets close to playing for 40 minutes.  Take your time and shut the camera off to remove CF card. Once you have a new card in the camera, and it's working, nod to your dad to start.  If you want to only get two CF 256GB cards, then as your recording on card 2, transfer the data in card one to a hard drive.  Check to make sure you have good video and then re-format the card to be used again.  Don't use an SD card as it will look odd compared to Raw video shot on a CF card.  I hope this helps... Also, get a separate recorder and record the audio separately from the video.  You can use the scratch audio on the video to line up your Soundboard audio to the video.  I suggest you shoot at 23.XX and record audio at 24 bit 192 or 96 sampling.  This should be a wonderful experience for you and your dad.  If I lived near you, I'd offer to come over and help but I live on the Kenai River in Alaska...  Merry Christmas..  Joe Ray

Sir,  I just discovered what I had to do to bring up the aspect ratio and resolution...  After I opened the RAW VIDIO MLV icon under MOVIE, I then selected the button under the menu button and there was everything I needed.  Thank you so much.... Sincerely,   Joe Ray Skrha

Greetings from Alaska...
     Thankyou for responding to my concern involving my 5DM2...  I striped my CF card clean and then re-formatted it.  I then downloaded the daily off ML.  I then selected MLV_lite and MLV_snd only.
I then went to the MOVIE section and checked RAW VIDEO (MLV).  It turned on but did not allow me to select any other choice.  When I hit the select button again, the RAW VIDEO simply turned off.
On my 5DM#, I can select a small button called Q that allows me to open the sub-chapters.  Does the 5DM2 have a similar button that does what Q does on a 5DM3?   Thanks,  Joe Ray

Greetings Friends,
     I have been shooting my 5DM3 for 5 years but I recently tried to set up my 5DM2 2.1.2 with the daily build of ML.  My raw video (MLV) under MOVIE is set to 1856 x 1044 and I can't change it or find a place to change aspect ratio.     My MODULES are:  dot_tune, tetra, file_man, mtg_play, mlv_rec, mlv_send, pic_view, selftest... I tried adding MLV_lite, but it made no difference.  I can only get about 30 seconds of video at these settings.  I'd like to adjust the settings to get continuous shooting.   Can anyone open my eyes to the problem?  Thanks,  JoeRay

I had the same problem...  I sent my camera to Canon with a letter explaining why you need a reversal of firmware (ML) and they set it back in perfect shape. 
#9
I just wanted to report that I sent my 5DMK3 back to Canon and they graciously reset my camera firmware from 1.3.3 to 1.2.3 so I could load ML firmware.  I told them why I needed it reloaded and that I was using ML.  They said they understood and when I got my camera back, it had the proper firmware for Magic Lantern 2..... Thanks for the great help Canon.... at no charge...

Hello Friends,
          I sent my Canon 5DMK2   and Canon 5DMK3 to Canon USA  for cleaning.  They replaced the circuit boards in both cameras and they installed the latest firmware.  Unfortunately, I don't have the original firmware that I used Magic Lantern on.   

          Can anyone send me the Firmware for my 5D3  1.2.3    and my 5D2  2.1.2
My email is:   [email protected]      and firmware must be MAC compatible...     Thank you,   Joe Ray

Folks, I'm still having trouble and don't know why...   When I received a new Lexas CF Card 256GB 1066x, I formatted the card in my camera (5DMK3).  This works fine but I want to format to EX FAT by using Disk Utility in my Mac Book Pro retina...  Unfortunately, I updated my OS X to El Capitan.  Now when I try to erase and partition to EX FAT, I do not get the same results.   When I insert the card back in my camera, the camera skips frames and will stop after a minute or so with no recording on the disk.   So Please offer me advice how you folks with El Capitan are getting your CF Cards to work... What am I doing wrong?     Thanks,  Joe Ray  at:  [email protected]

I did format in the camera first.  Then I used Disk Utility to set EX FAT.  This is where I am having problems...  Any advice...

Hello Friends,
     I bought 2 new LEXAR 256GB 1066X CF Cards for my 5DMK3.   I went to format them in my Mac Book Pro Retina Disk Utility.  I recently updated the computer to El Capitan.  Well I tried a few different options and nothing works.  Can someone help me so I can use it with EX FAT...  Every time I put the CF Card back in my camera, it crashes...  Please help, I have a shoot tomorrow...  Thanks,   Joe Ray   at: [email protected]

Hi Folks,
      I shoot a Canon 5DMK3 and use 5 - 256GB Lexar 1066x  CF Cards when I shoot  musical performances.  The reason you can fill a 128GB card is because the camera limits the time you can shoot at one time.  It comes out to 29 minutes and 52 seconds which is about the amount of data you can fill on a 128GB card.  When I use a 256GB card, I have to use at least 2 files of about 29 minutes long. If you leave your camera on to long and it shuts off, the files on my CF Card get  corrupted and I haven't found a way to salvage the video it shot... I hope this helps...  I've shot hundreds of acoustical concerts of some of Americas best songwriters on private trains of "Roots On The Rails".  I use a SD744T to record the audio off the sound board at 24-192.

Hi Folks,
     I just returned from a 14 day train trip with Roots On The Rails from LA>Chicago>Portland>LA using LA Rail Private Rail Cars.   We had 15 musicians including Phil & Dave Alvin, Jon Langford, John Doe and Terry Allen.
I filmed each of 40 performance using my Canon 5DMK3 and a Sound Devices 744T audio recorder. 
     I installed Magic Lantern nightly 3-30-2014 and had great results except for a couple of issues:
1) I used ExFat of my CF so I had files that were 60-110 GB in size.  Two of about 60 large MLV files would not open.  When I used the MLRawViewer, the app would just go blank without any controls showing.  Both files show 102GB and 10.83GB in size.  I don't know why the MLRawViewer is blank-black when I try to open the MLV files.  These are the only two files that ended up doing this.   QUESTION:  Is there anything that can be done to open or activate these files so I can view them.  They are of musicians performing on stage on the train in the concert car.
2)Does anyone know of a Sync device to sync the MLV Raw files converted to MOV ProRes in the MLRaw Viewer to 24 bit 192 sampling stereo audio I recorded off the SD744F recorder?  I have used Dual Eyes in the past but Dual Eyes will not sync ProRes files...    Thanks for your comments in advance. Sincerely,  Joe Ray Skrha

I am using a 5DMK3 with a LEXAR 256GB and 128GB card and nightly from 3-30-2014 at 14:53.   I get the same warning  and when I get the warning, the video keeps recording but I loose the audio...   It seems I have been loosing audio after 30 seconds or so.  Hence, when I shoot a 25 min clip of a live concert, the audio is always missing even though it's turned on...

I am getting the same message  Failed.queued:13 Failed:1(dequeued)   The numbers seem to change  each time I get it.   I am using Lexas 256GB 1066X cards.  Anyone can offer any help.  I need to shoot in 5 days and would hate to shoot regular format after coming this far...  Seems when I go to open the files in MLRawViewer, all I get is a black box, no video even though there is 40BG used on the card...   I appreciate anyones thoughts... Sincerely,  Joe Ray

Markus, do I assume you are using a 128 GB CF Card?
#20
Hi Marcus,
     Thanks for your clips...  My 5DMK3 has firmware 1.2.3 so I will be downloading ML tonight or tomorrow...     As most of my concerts art 60-90 minutes, do you ever have trouble with the ML dropping a frame or not recording the entire 29minutes before I will need to recycle my 5DMK3?   Also, since I shoot and record separately with a Sound Device 744T, have you heard of any problem syncing audio with video with ML?   I'm going on a 14 day train trip with many professional musicians and I am doing the audio and video recording.  Check out a little bit of my early work at:  www.vimeo.com .  Once on site, search for:   joerayskrha      I really appreciate your assistance and comments...    Sincerely,  Joe Ray Skrha

I recently started to use ML with my 5DMK3 and 5DMK2.    I have both cameras...  I was wondering if anyone has used either camera with ML to shoot professional songwriters in concert.  I bought 2  256GB compact flash drives that should give me about 90 minutes of shooting time.  Any other thoughts from folks who may have tried this?   I would appreciate your thoughts...  Ive shot 100's of concerts with my 5DMK2 and 5DMK3 with a Sound Device 744 recorder and love the quality but I would hope ML would improve the quality 14 bit video   without being limited to 8bit video without ML...   My email is:  [email protected].  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.  Peace,  Joe Ray
