Tragic Lantern / Re: Tragic Lantern for 6D

Probably this (reverse engineering): http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=4124.0

+1 for a dummy's guide to optimal (20mb/s) iq non-raw video shooting with TL for the usual suspects video resolutions (I guess 1080p/30 and 720/60).

Thanks Marsu42 for the RE link!

BTW, do we have any official way to fully uninstall ML or TL? now with the latest TL my 6D did not detected by PC anymore via USB cable (already change to the empty SDHC card) but result still the same.

Here are my plans for the bit rate menu.

*Auto Loading of 4 configs.
CBR - CBR Mode ml/cbr.ini
VBR - VBR Mode ml/vbr.ini
RC  - Canon rate control /ml/rc.ini
H264.ini - User config with load button.

We can override InitialQP and target Bit rate. Yes it does work, yes it will freeze camera on IPB if you go over 60mbps and violate the spec until you load a level 5.1 config.

I will make an auto loader with OFF, ON, Override.

Without the auto loader on you can adjust target bit rate *OR* record at a fixed qp with the initqp toggle.
Everything else can be set in the text files, following what I wrote in the RE thread. This puts video quality on par with 600D and cache hacks, maybe a bit better if you pixel peep. When the matrix loading is figured out this will be an ideal setup. I can't find where the other parameters can be adjusted on the fly, I think they get sent to a second proc or are in registers/ram. Maybe buffer save can be ported over for another rate control mechanism if initQP can be changed on the fly, mine seems to be better at stopping stops than canon's.

sorry, but really can't find out the RE thread for reference. Hope that someone might paste here a link of this thread.

BTW, thanks 1% for such a wonderful hack, ML and TL ROCK!

Raw Video / Re: 550D raw video recording port official thread

I'm having a different issue. What settings are you using. My issue isnt a matter of they not becoming....er....un-interlaced. I just keep getting a messaged that the footage doesnt appear to be interlaced, and after reviewing it....it isn't. I'm shooting raw video and choosing the dual ISO option. I must be overlooking something.

EDIT: despite what it says, it's working now! I reviewed the image before and after and it definitely went from interlaced to a "useable" video/image sequence! awesome stuff!

Dear telecastDaveRI,
I do have same request as NedB. Hope that you can share a bit about your success. Thanks!

BTW, while recording using live view i can zoom 5x but 10x make my camera crash immediately, so how can we do the proper focus without zoom in and how to back to normal view after 5x zoom (as above 10x crash)

Any one successfully shots dual iso video and then post processing OK? mine case after download mk11174 cr2hdr and raw2dng file, dual iso raw video file still interlaced after using raw2dng (drag and drop method)

any methods that work for our beloved 550D? (i'm try to use alex method: using his raw2dng first and then cr2hdr but bad result in the end)

I'm follow the article here: http://www.thinkdigit.com/Digital-Cameras/Guide-to-using-Dual-ISO-Mode-on_17150.html

but the author did not provide the link to download file needed, the cr2hdr is OK i'm using the one provided by mk11174 http://www.mediafire.com/download/j93ojwx50ddv201/Raw2DNG_cr2hdr_550D_Windows.zip

but how about the stuffs for Dual ISO Video post-processing? (he said sth about avisyn and main.cmd...)

Many Thanks.
