He is using lossless compression mode.

Sorry bout fullquoting.

And sorry i yelled out. I could have just read the past 10 or so pages. Found out my sdcard is limited to 38MB/s write speed, so the ML sd-overclock module has absolutely no effect on my cameras ability to shoot longer videos in @1832x1024 16:9 24fps. I get around 60MB/s read speed, so guess i'll have to try a card with faster write speed. 

Thanks all for the great work - putting a new glare in my old 70D

Cheers!

I've been lurking in this thread for the past two years, and just want to thank the ML community for keeping the 70D alive.

After shooting raw video for the past couple of years on my 70D, I've got hours and hours of footage - enough that the 70D has become my daily driver for commercial videography. I've had a hard time finding a better alternative at the same price point so far. The learning curve was a bit steep for understanding the majority of the settings, but it has paid off handsomely with the rich colour I get out of the camera.

Some things I've noticed over the years:
- I shoot 14 bit lossless @ 1832x1024 16:9 24 fps continuous for the most part. The buffer usually hovers *very* close to full, but I can usually get away with continuous recording. For bright and visually complex scenes, sometimes it does overrun the buffer and I need to start recording again.
- For sensitive moments like interviews where I can't afford to miss a few seconds due to buffer overflow, I drop the camera down to 12 bit lossless. Perfect continuous recording there without the risk of buffer overrun.
- Running the camera in full Manual mode is critical for getting good images out of it. I set the shutter speed at 2x the framerate: so in my case, that's 24 fps with a shutter speed of 1/48.19
- I run with Global Draw off. I found the extra information useful, but ultimately distracting while I'm filming.

Not much new here, but I just wanted to share for anyone looking to try out ML on their 70D. Without it, I basically wouldn't have a film career. Much appreciated everyone

How on earth do you accomplish continuous shooting in 14bit RAW on the 70D? Isn't the write limit natively around 40mb/s on the 70D? I only get about 5 secs of running time if i shoot 14bit @1832x1024 16:9 24 fps. Regardless of fast card. Love to hear if you've changed any settings i haven't tried.

cheers
