1) My only tip for KB cards is to full format them once in a while on a windows pc. I'm a mac user and tried using disk utility to no avail. Full exfat format and then you can format your 128gb and specially the 256GB cards in camera that no error will appear and will also format the full size of card. Takes roughly 4 to 5 hours a 256GB card format on a win7  laptop.

There may be an app that formats cards in lots of ways on El Capitan but I have plenty windows laptops around so...

2) I have a problem with Magic Lantern not showing the remaining size in my cards. I'll usually be blind as it will display the size but not the remaining GB. It's dramatic and I fixed it by throwing money at the problem and having extra cards. any help here?

3) Another issue I've encountered. When using MLRAWVIEWER, it crashes on El Capitan (imac i7) but, it produces a certain size set of DNG's and wav file. When using the Fuse MLVFS the size of the DNG's is double. Side by side in PS CC they look identical. What wizardry is that?

Thanks!

Waiting for a newer nightly build for the 5D3 1.2.3. Still get occasional pink frames which I don't know how to easily fix. My 256GB and 128GB cards are slow as hell to start. Been using an SD for ML and CF for the data.

I'd love for a simple program that would batch ALL mlv files to DNG+WAV. Like, taking 1TB or a couple hundred clips and dump them into another 1TB of DNG's and WAV files, using standard C-LOG. MLRAWVIEWER is what I use and on El Capitan but it crashes a lot and cant add the directories without it crashing or idling. Only about 15 mlv at a time, as anything above that crashes.

If anyone has any suggestions, please say so. Thanks!

EDIT: another thing I miss is the option to have the stereo track feature one track with the inner microphone at AGC levels and the other track the shotgun mic connected externally. That way, one could have a backup track. I remember doing that with the external mic at different gains, so as to prevent distortion. Very useful and a way to disregard AGC completely. Sadly, the 5D3 ML nightly builds do not feature this anymore. It was really a great feature I'd love to have back. So much amplitudes in event videography... sudden screams and constant whispers.
