Does not sound ML related.
Try removing battery, removing card. Then reinsert battery and startup without card. Is AF working?

Shutdown camera. Start cam and keep SET pressed during startup. Is AF working?

@Brawl: Sorry, but what is *your* problem with Canon's native video output?

Would you please try?

Canon menu -> Picture quality -> RAW

why the hell Canon sell 7D and tell to anyone it's Full HD when it is not? is not this a fraud? someone complained to the authorities? 

Full HD resolution = 1920x1080. That's the specification and it's met.
If you think it's fraud because internal generated lower resolution got upsampled to achieve this: Look for a lawyer willing to go to court.

And here we go again:
Canon's H.264 implementation for full HD is actually upscaled liveview resolution.
Except 5D3 where liveview is true full HD.

-> Search function, please.
Look for crop mode, too.

Delete ML directory and AUTOEXEC.BIN and copy extracted nightly build contents to card.
Try again.

Before we go into details: 50D won't record sound.

May I ask which developer opted to do the work?
And please don't get me wrong: You're new here and your first action is a fundraiser?

Try movie mode with fps override. If 0.15 fps are enough, of course.

Top of page -> Downloads -> Browse Nightly Builds -> Features.
The silent picture feature described there is not the one (full-res silent pics) discussed here as bleeding edge.

Please take a look at dmilligan's link.

Move write protection switch to unlock position.

May I ask which video mode you are using? H.264, RAW or MLV?
RAW doesn't support audio recording.

Well, if you ask for x and add z to the equation later you will get different answers.

Do you have experience with polarizers and wide angle lenses? I avoid using polarizers on wide angle in landscape photography because of

http://www.elmar-baumann.de/fotografie/techtutorial/abbildungen/filter-polfilter-stellung-stark.jpg
You will find more info about the filter effect's dependency on angle and position to the sun in the web.
The cam you use right now has 38 mm focal length on the short side ("converted" to full-frame). If you use the 18-55 (= 28-85 in full frame) your field of view will be significantly wider.

Lenstip has a polarizer test suite, too: http://www.lenstip.com/115.1-article-polarizing_filters_test.html

Let me decompose this offer (from my perspective, of course):

550D: Not that bad. And ML available for it. 100D is not supported yet.
18-55 IS: According to your first post IS is unneccessary. I would consider an ultra-wide angle lens or fisheye. Manual lenses will do fine for your needs.
Battery + charger: Included in original packages. LiON batteries will degrade with every charging/uncharging cycle.
Fast 32 GB card: What is fast? 550D's card interface is limited to about 21 MByte/s. Cards offering this speed will be about 16 Euro. And for what purpose? Your only advantage will be faster transfer from cardreader to computer.
Bag: I don't use a dedicated bag most of the time. The one I use sometimes was a gift from the company I ordered some paper for my photo printer. Bag can mean anything from there to several hundred Euro. And from: "I can't live with that monster" to "I can't do without". And this may vary with pricing. Or not.
UV-filter: For night photography? I would prefer not to! Read

EDIT
My 2 cents on touchscreens:
First thing to turn off when shooting stills. Not my cup of tea. Don't like nose activated features.  If you want to browse menus fast: Customize menu.

Touchscreen may be of limited use in video mode because you can change settings noiseless. ISO for example but aperture ...
Or move focus field in liveview.

Thought about it but other money sucking projects (not related to photography) have priority right now.
But if there is a developer wanting to get hold of a 7DII: Crowdfunding will help and I promise to participate.

SD card interface on 5D3 is limited to about 21 MByte/s.

Understood. Deblinking works right now.

EDIT: I think it didn't work as expected. Wild guess: Sync issues. May I ask where you're located?

7 seconds in which resolution?

This procedure won't reset cam's bootflag!

Just to make sure: You're in Liveview?
