Right but it looks like stretching the image on the top and bottom makes it much more pronounced.  I shoot 720p 60p in h.264 all the time and it's not nearly as bad.  I think fixing the stretching problem would be a better solution than increasing resolution a little bit.

I hope eventually the stretching issue would be solved.  Whenever you resize it to a proper 16:9 ratio there are definitely some aliasing problems. 

Another frame grab using the March 5th build.  I think I'm going to stick with this one for a while.  Sunset shots in RAW are ridiculous.  It's too bad I have to stretch it from 1280x514 though.  A little noticeable with the high noise in ISO 1250.

I got tragic lantern working.  Forgot to copy the ML folder over.  It bricked my 7D for a minute and now it turns on fine.  Haven't had any issues since.  Now 60P mode works perfectly without any corrupted frames.  I'm shooting a wedding tomorrow and going to shoot some sequences in raw, but not all.  Here are some frame grabs I got at 1280x514.  Stopped recording after 10 seconds.  Long enough for me with a 60MB/sec card.





Again this is with TL march 5th build.

When I put the TL autoexec.bin in place of the ML one and start the 7D, I get these errors after booting it up:

Is there something I'm missing?

You anyway need to prepare extracted dngs files for further processing, right?
I use console app mlv_dump then adobe photoshop (camera raw) for color correction and white balance etc and then export all dngs to tiffs. After this you can use tiffs in Apple Motion. It automatically stacks all tiffs in one solid movie and for example you can export timeline to proress4444 with attached wav of course. But maybe windows workflow is better, don't know

I don't process the dng files in my workflow.  I just open them in After Effects CS6 in Mac, do the adobe camera raw adjustments, and then export as ProRes 4444.

Haven't gotten a single corrupted frame since I got my 7d, this is with TL March 5th build iirc. I haven't really pushed all the features though, but everything looks to be extremely stable. Slo mo at 60p even works well, an easy way to scale 720p footage back to normal is to open in AE, process through ACR like normal, and set your composition to 1920x1080 (if you shot your 60p in 16x9 aspect), or 1280x720 if you want to downscale. Right click your footage, transform, fit to comp. Profit.

Out of curiousity, what CF card are you using? I'll try that build.

I used MLV Converter 1.8.2.  It seemed to work well, but I am on a mac platform and have to use bootcamp to convert the mlv files in Windows 7.  Couldn't get any of the Mac workflows to work as of yet.

I am a new participant in ML RAW video.  Here are my experiences.  With ML nightly build Feb 26th, I turned on the mlv_rec module and set the resolution to 1728x972 (max it would go) at 16:9.  I wanted to see how much I could go with a Sandisk 16GB 60MB/s card.  Managed to go as far as 338 frames, no pink frames or corruption.  Not bad... if I change the aspect ratio to 2.35:1 I get continuous recording, or if I lower the resolution to 1344x756.

However, going into 720p 60fps in movie mode I get a ton of pink frames.  Haven't tried TL yet or raw_rec.
