Every frame is fine for me

New battery and it drains 16% per hour

Drag the program onto terminal and then drag the mlv. Then press enter

It's an old battery. I think it's two out of three bars. I just assumed it was a 7d thing. How long do they normally last shooting video?

Quick question. Have any of you noticed that the 7d chews more battery than other canons. Mine regularly pulls around 50%/hour. Is that normal?

It's pretty darn good

Not sure if this thread would be proper place to ask but.... Any progress being made on silent picture mode recording more then just 2 sec worth of dng? Wouldnt countiunous capture help raw video.

Raw recording is essentially continuous silent pictures, perhaps I'm wrong.

Save you the hard work
I've got it setting everything via folder prompts but you could change it to hardcoded strings if you wanted to speed things up.

Is this your code?
Edit: The problem I've discovered with getting the filename using Finder is that it often fails. I've got a script obj-c applescript that I can easily convert to a proper applescript if you want it.

Someone can tell me what is legacy option ?? 

Version 9 I do believe

Chiming in to say the 128GB Komputerbay card was total junk. The speeds were all over the place, but it did roll raw for a bit. I kept getting multi-color weird pixel artifacts (weird glitches), that I saw one other person have in this forum. They said the problem went away when their komputerbay card was returned. Mine also stopped working, so that helps my cause. My advice: Don't gamble with Komputerbay, it's not worth the headache.



And here's that weird artifact I got:

I remember seeing something like this on another thread and I think the card died shortly afterwards. It had the same artefacts you experienced

Pretty much they don't want to jeopardise their current work for the masses of dslr users just to benefit a few select users and risk legal action.

not everything for EOS M, its only running on 50D and 5D Mark II now, its RAW 2.0 video format.

That makes more sense now. I was compiling the source and it was included by default.

I've been trying to use the mlv_rec module. I always get a file creation error and then it fills the buffer but doesn't write to the card. Does the mlv module work?

Here's how I did it:
Step 0: Update to version 2.02

Step one: Format the card using the computer
Step two: Format in camera
Step three: Put these files on the card - http://www.nickpotts.com.au/downloads/ML_nick_g3gg0_30_Aug_2013
Step four: Enable the boot flag and eos develop in eoscard - found here: http://pel.hu/eoscard/
Step five: Run software update on camera
Step six: Celebrate?
I'm not 100% this will work but this is approximately what I did.

Good morning folks! Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask! I have a new EOS M that came with firmware 1.06 so I want to know where to find the proper build of ML to use or if its better to update to 2.02. The build I´ve found its for 2.02. Also I´m not sure which tutorial to use, just format the sd card or if I have to use EOSUtility.

Thanks and keep the good work!

I was in the same position a few hours ago. I was trying to avoid updating to 2.02 because I didn't think the boot flag was working. I struggled for about an hour before updating and now everything works perfectly. I was even able to compile the latest version and slap that on.

which file is it? ill put a link up to it for a few days from my server until its updated

It's the UpDaterM.fir file. I can also host it for as long as it is needed.

Just new here.

I just purchased an EOS-M with version1 put ML on it and happy with it.,

now i want to update it to version 2 can ML work on version 2 of eos-M?

what are the steps? and download sites thanks in advance godbless you all guys for developing this wonderful tool ^_^

Can somebody post the file that was located at qfpost.com/file/d?g=NzBmhwaBK I can't download it because the site is down.

I'm not sure if i'm missing something very obvious but which build is the MLV build? I'm currently running the ml_britom_30_aug build.
Is the MLV the nick_g3ggo build? Thanks.

Yes

Thanks very much.

mlv2dng still not working on my Lion 10.7.  The app puts a file called mlv2ng in the output folder.

It does that in the process of creating the dngs. It's a safe bet that mlv2dng doesn't work on 10.7. Can we have somebody confirm this?

For those people who want to process mlv files on a mac, I have created a gui wrapper for the mlv2dng program:
http://www.nickpotts.com.au/downloads/mlv2dng.zip

Ok, here's a gui. Please tell me if you have any issues:
http://www.nickpotts.com.au/downloads/mlv2dng.zip

The "drag'n'drop" feature in windows is just windows being clever and automatically opening a terminal with correct parameters to run. On OsX you will have to use the terminal for now (or some Mac nerd can maybe help you.. I don't know anything about OsX).
on the terminal write:
./mlv2dng inputfile.mlv

I can create an AppleScript GUI if there is a demand for it.

Using this version, You can't format the card.

The camera would freeze while "reading ML contents" the led would continue to flicker but you can't make selection on lcd, won't turn off.
Battery will have to be removed to unfreeze.

I'm able to format. I think some certain files make it unformatable but I'm not 100% sure.
