@a1ex,
Are you using the same ML files that lourenco kindly compiles for us every day? same source file and same camera, but not the same result. I am wondering if there is a possibility of this issue entering during compilation. I appreciate what lourenco does, I really do. I am just thinking out loud.

The parts will be here tomorrow... Let see if it works...
Portability is not a big problem, I'm going to design an enclosure, like a grip, to put all that stuff together under the camera. I'll share the 3D model.

Looking forward to the outcome of your project. It will be huge if you can pull this off.

Can this be used with 5D Mark III?

Ok I've tested external audio sync on a 12min 24p file in FCPX, it's perfect!

Great to hear. I am assuming you set up your external audio to 48hz and set fps override to 24fps for this test, right?

Well, I didn't touch 10-bit, but it should be fairly easy to add.

Here are the modified src files: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bw98R-sUdECPZkpjQ2RPWi1yVjQ/edit?usp=sharing

12-bit is currently hardcoded with the variable:

Code Select Expand

static int raw_bitdepth = 12;

...which should be set via a RAW menu option and exported in the RAW footer to be retrieved by raw2dng and processed accordingly.

I would try 12bit to see if it works properly first. Then we can move onto adding 10bit. Well, I say "we" as if I am actually contributing anything to this development. Ha ha. Sorry. I meant I hoped you could.

I think I'm done here...
1%, I'll send you my modified src files, I trust you can tidy it up and merge with yours?

Does it mean 12bit or 10bit raw is coming sometime very soon?

This is such an important and exciting development!!

Perhaps you already have, but if not, have him try with your cards.

[Prefs]

For most uses I find that the setting obtained in Prefs Tab by:

3. Scroll to Focus box settings, press Q button, and enable Snap points choosing the Center/TL/TR/BR/BL setting.  Press Set button and Q button.

To use this setting (in LV)  just press the joystick and the focusing box will just move to the correct area.  It goes Top Left, the if you press it again it will go, Top right, etc    It is a quick way to get there, a shortcut.

My tamron 24-70 vc is now 24-70 2.8 and 120-350 2.8!!!

That is the way it is, that mode is refereed to Cropped Digital Video.  Please read the manual here:

17 times to the left and 8 to the top. Got it. By the way, this feature is fantastic to have!

Huh? it's working well here...

a1ex, when I use 5x, it always capture what is left to the frame on LCD.

Never mind. I just read I had to move the focus square 17 ticks to the left. It works good now.

I'd say making it rock-solid and enabling the module support in official nightly builds. Lots of fine-tuning and bug-fixing.

I don't see this as something for recording long conferences, and you already have basic audio.

Thank you, a1ex. A quick question for you. Has there been a fix for 5x framing issue yet?

Has anyone suggested Compact Flash Ethernet Card?

a1ex,

What are high priority items at this stage of development? Is it file spanning? Is it audio? Just wondering.
Thanks.

I think I used FPS Override at 24 fps.

That possibly made your syncing experience better than mine. I had FPS override off and just shot at 23.976.
Maybe I will carry a slate with me at all times. Ha ha.

Yep, has to be trimmed in video editor.  Hope this gets fixed.

Have you tried to sync these wav files with video? I am trying to figure out time difference between video and audio.

wav file is always 12:25:39. Anyone else noticed it?

Is there a batch file that you can execute to process multiple files? I have shot over 30 raw files today and I would like to know how others deal with multiple files.

Warning: disabling the 4GB checks will result in corrupted files on FAT32 cards, if recording stops automatically.

Is File spanning in FAT32 not possible?

Negative, I experienced the same speed.   The 5/17 version must include g3gOO commits to fix some errors in earlier changes.  May want to get a different build.

That must be it. Just redownloaded 5/17 build.

5x doesn't display in grey. back to 1:1
Using KOMPUTERBAY 128GB CF 1000X, it constantly skipped frames at 1920x720 until I tried CF card workaround on. It recorded all the way to 4GB. (audio disabled. focus peaking on)

5/16th build seems to faster than 5/17 version. Anyone else agree?

Huh? works for me for 5GB files (didn't try larger)

How did you record over 4GB?

I just wanted to create a topic that is specific to testing 5D3 nightly builds.

1. 5D Mark III only
2. 14bit Raw - no compression suggestions/ideas please.
3. This thread is to test 5d3 nightly builds and report back the results/findings.
4. Even ideas/suggestions should be limited to the development of ML builds of 5D3 14bit raw video.

Nothing against other camera users and other innovative ideas. I thought it would be good to have a thread that someone like me can check from time to time to read what pertains to 5D3 14bit raw ML instead of reading through many pages about other topics.

Admin, if you feel this thread is redundant and unnecessary, you can close it.

To the devs  --->

Is it possible to bit shift or similar bit trix the raw stream to get to 12 bit instead of 14?

I am thinking this could be good for 550d/600d shooters with card controller limitations, giving an effective 4x speed increase

If you just read posts in a previous page...

If someone kickstarts this project, I will gladly support!!!!
