Am I correct in assuming that 10-bit and 12-bit will look no different than 14-bit (in real-world application of this camera)?

On my 5d2: when I run it at 1280x1080 it seems that the recording area (white rectangle) is not at the center position when an external monitor is attached via HDMI. Might just be a display problem...

Same thing here

262 frames @ 1080 with both hack3d on or off

same as previous builds

That's pretty solid.  Were you able to unwrap the frames?  518 usable frames beats 0.  :)

I was, with the exception of one so far which for some reason was a jumbled magenta mess. I couldn't even make out what I originally shot.

I do have a new bug on the May 17th build, where the left side of the frame is black. Not sure what that is, I've linked a dng where this occurred.

Are you still getting 500+ frames @ 960 on the builds where you can unwrap the files?  Which builds?  If so, I wonder where the speed is coming from.

I just tested the May 17th build and got 518 frames @ 960. So, a bit of a step down, but not too bad.

Ok that's impressive.  If I could get 608 frames @ 960, I'd be golden.  Is that the "e1d271904e4c" build from post #83 on this thread?  What kind of write speeds are you seeing on the LCD during capture?

That is the correct build. Somewhere between 62-67MB/s

Silvertones, you mentioned a couple pages back you were getting 640 frames at 960.  That would be great.  Are you still getting those record times?  Have you done anything particular to enable this, or do we think it's the Komputerbay card?


I just tested again with the May 16th evening build. Got 608 frames at 960, and 262 at 1080, with Komputerbay 32gb 1000x.

Problem for me is that these files don't convert with this build in raw2dmg, with all kinds of API version mismatches and ain't a lv_rec file

I made a mistake. I did the benchmark in Playback, not in Liveview, mode. I redid the benchmark afterwards in Liveview and i couldn't break 65 MB/s either.

I don't know a whole lot about the internal workings of the camera, but to me that looks like it means that the controller isn't as limiting as initially thought.

My ideal resolution personally would be 1920x1280.

Low light, source lights, anamorphic test. Heavy grading which holds up so well- the RAW footage was pretty much all tungsten. password is rawtest.

5dm2, 1000x 32gb Komputerbay, 1880x860, May 15th firmware. Really looking forward to a new compile as this firmware ruins half of my footage with magenta blocks, but I've had no luck with May 16 and 17 firmware and the raw2dng converting problem.

I thought it's gonna be more on the 5D2. The CF-Benchmark gives me 79 MB/s with 2048k-Buffer. The RAW-files are quite big, so these 79 MB/s should be realistic during RAW Video, shouldn't they?



How'd you get such good speed here? I can't break 65MB/s on my 32gb 1000x Komputerbay.

Idea: It would be nice to automatically toggle/disable global draw upon recording. Then you could set all of your levels etc and when you hit record have maximum performance.

no more pink magnify button Revision "e1d271904e4c" + the square rec is panable

@ted ramasola
confirm pink view on magnify button
you could always switch off LV. I've already describe above (no 5)

@olik
1% preset

Just some quick performance tests using this new build using KomputerBay 32gb 1000x with Global Draw off.

1880x840 shoots indefinitely
1880x960 gets up to 648 frames before dropping
1880x1080 gets up to 208 frames before dropping

Does anyone else have magenta blocks tearing randomly on the footage on 5D2? Trying to figure out why that is happening.
#64
When I run raw2dng off my system drive (SSD) where both the application and raw file are in the same folder, it works great.

When I try to run raw2dng off a different internal drive, I get

Error: could not open /Volumes/etccccc
and
mkdir: /1302172738: Permission denied

What simple solution am I missing here?

@shawn_lights perhaps I phrased it wrong, its actually a file corruption that shows up in a magenta color.

I am getting the same magenta block issues on 5Dii. Big magenta blocks randomly in footage. I didn't notice it until I went out to do a low light test and used my external HDMI monitor. I also noticed it on a h264 recording, so this may be a general ML bug and not a raw one. I will try it again later without the HDMI monitor to see if that could be causing the issue.

Regardless, the test results were just amazing. ML RAW->ProRes 444 and ColorGhear is absolutely stunning.

Is that May 14th build?

AFAIK the google drive ML link is the latest build. The 5d2 fir is from yesterday.

I would like to know this too. I'm getting the same problem on my Mk II.

I've looked around, and Couttes posted a link yesterday to fix it with a previous autoexec.bin, but the extreme traffic to the dropbox file cause it to become disabled.

I've got the correct modules on my CF card, but I can't access the ability to change my settings to RAW. And "M" tab doesnt appear on my settings.

Thanks a lot guys for everything you've done.

Make sure that the MODULES folder is inside the ML folder. I had the same issue. I took the latest firmware and added in Couttes 5d2 fir from below

Yeah, I think it depends on whether or not he had global draw on. Like a1ex mentioned earlier, the benchmarks will tell you the truth. Another user benched about 65 MB/s on his 5D2 with a 1000x card, so it should be able to handle at least a step higher than 720. Though it's not a huge improvement it's still an improvement!

The fastest write speed I can achieve with Global Draw off is 65.1 MB/s at buffer 15625k. Card is a KomputerBay 32gb 1000x

On my KomputerBay 32gb 600x, I can only manage about 23.8 MB/s max write. Read speeds are also very slow, around 11-15 vs. 60-70 on the 100x. So unless I have a dud card, the 1000x is significantly faster.

Holy crap Black Magic has more moire problems than RAW footage from 5dmk3

EDIT: Which CF cards does support 1080p without glitches/dropframes?

I can get up to 1880x720 no problem on Mark II with KomputerBay 1000x CF. Any higher than that and I start to drop frames.

Simply amazing work everyone.

Mark II here, super excited to test this out. Ordered 1000x cards now.
