Hi Marekk.  Was wondering if it's possible to make black box like 5d mkII when recording raw. What I mean is, instead of just a white  rectangle to show recording area, the 5D blocks out the rest of the non recorded area in black and also no GlobalDraw. It's like the black and white preview only it's color, is it possible with the 60D or is outside of the cameras ability? Thanks.

Go to Raw2Dng Forum and read it. There all your answers will be revealed. do a search for raw2dng and READ THE STUFF.
Furthermore, this forum is not concerned with Raw2DNG app it's concerned with 60D, Hence.

Does anybody know what the .mov file is after a dng extraction?

Hi Marekk. Fantastic stuff this RAW. I Usually shoot 2.35:1 @ 1600 @ 11.986 and can shoot for 3000 frames. amazing.
Anyway. Was wondering if it's possible to make black box like 5d mkII when recording raw. Thanks.

The MVR resets are a bit hard to spot. The overlay blanks and then the bit rate goes back to "normalish" settings. When the buffer gets full it does something similar but can stop.

I've already seen 176 (and above, messing with D sizes). Actually written peaks? 267Mb/s on one of audio nut's graphs. Realistic average rates will probably stay around 100 until SD cards get faster.

Bit rate doesn't really "set" the rate... its just scaling I rate, P rate and the gop options. So you can get 17mbps at 3.0x depending on settings/scene/etc. We also need to get more out of the bit rate we already have.

Yup. It is very scene dependent. it seems the lower the light the higher the bit rate. I've been using Sandisk Extreme Pro SDHC 95Mb/s cards. And for me it seems that the highest, non buffer full reset is 1.8x without audio. Which when I analyze this in bits per sec I am getting 85-90 pretty steady and honestly for me that's plenty. 600mb per minute is quite a bit.

What is your sustained write speed? Regular mode. I have no problems with 2.0x even at high ISO. My write is 15-18MB/s

Hi, yeah. but. setting the camera to 2.0x doesn't mean it does that. according to my testing the highest I can set the camera and it actually means something bit rate wise is 1.8 on a good day. usually I leave it at 1.5x and let it ride. When I set my camera to 2.0 or more all it does is revert back to default, it 's not as if the camera stops recording, it just records at 1.0 default.

I assume it does, or the ML team wouldn't include it? 

I can't say that I've noticed any difference, but in the meantime I leave it on 1.8x just in case there's something good going on I can't see, but that has an influence further down the pipeline. I do a lot of manipulating in post and anything that increases quality is welcome.

Anyone able to comment? 

What camera you use, the ISO and the card in it are important. If you use lower ISO, bitrate will not increase as much as high ISO. Also, on my 60D with 95Mb/s card I can pull 1.5 -1.6 up to 1.7 but any higher and the gains are minimal. If you set it to 1.8 you may or may not be getting 1.8. I would do the minute test. roll 1 minute on the same scene whilst adjusting the ISO and bitrate to see which combination of what yields the largest file size, write down those settings and then test them at different CBR to see how much file size you get. The most I've got so far on my 60D is 521MB for 1 minute of footage. And I can see a diff in AE doing color and look. The gradation is smoother.

Is this true? You loose the audio? Maybe you should record the audio external...

I think this is a bug! Increasing the bitrate in order to loose the audio?!?!?!?

Seriously bro, you need to do some reading of the users manual and the forum before you post. The Bitrate goes up and the sound drops out, does that not make sense to you? It's no bug, it's a by product of overclocking the processor.

For the 60D i had to run the pearl app so that i could have them compressed cause the 60d won't recognize the photoshop rle compression and for the 60d they need to be small. like 33kb or so.

Hi,
I've made some crop marks for my 7D lately so i am giving them to you. The Hi res are not RLE compressed for cameras that can handle them. (7D, 5DmkII, 5DmkIII?)
I Don't know how the colors will be on your camera (if it isn't a 7D). My guess is they'll be wrong. (you can try them no harm will happen, I should hope ;-p ).
Anyway.

For filming, I am using a Nikon 50 1.4 AIS and a 24mm 2.8 AIS lens. They are totally manual; but beautiful image!

I'm with you. I am using only nikon Ai-s on my canon's. For both stills and video. I made myself a split image rangefinder ground glass and it made all the difference, for my 5d that is. For video I shoot with the 60D and ML, I use the 20 2.8, 24 2.8, 50 1.4, 85 1.4 and two zooms a 35-70 3.5 macro and a 25-50 4.0 and last but not least a 105 2.5. I think I will be getting a nikon 28 2.0 soon. A Contax 50 1.4 and 35 1.4 are in the stars but later. The last one is a dream o mine and expensive so it'll have to wait. But Zeiss Contax T* 50's are about 350-400. so not so bad for what was the and probably is the best corrected 50 ever made (Zeiss Planar 50 1.4 T* for Contax manual focus) The canon L 50 1.2 is as good but costs more. I've looked at and researched the NIkon 50 1.2 but am ambivalent about it.
