latest build with changes to Auto-ETTR (many changes since weekend)
raw_rec module should now keep settings
https://bitbucket.org/GregoryOfManhattan/magic-lantern/downloads/13june13-50D-0d47d7f96111.zip

if you are interested in testing auto-ETTR, don't forget to switch you back to saving raw photos in the canon menu.

speed should be comparable to what Julian just measured with yesterday's build.
cheers

Good work !!! Thank you !!!

The 50D is taking on Godzila scales. Canon is so freaken lucky to have made this little monster. Otherwise we'd all have BMCCs . . .

Indeed 

No mic or mic port tho... so unless someone opens the camera and installs those you'll be recording silence.. I'll see what happens when I put in the beep. Have to work out whether I want to do it "lite" with no audio module or just do the whole thing.. I'm running out of space in the bin. Allocatemem doesn't go down no matter which way you patch it.

What is up with zoom mode.. when lv_save_raw is turned on it has all kinds of aberrations.

Have to update hacked mode to kill LV in zoom too. Maybe that will quiet it down for recording.

I dont mind to open a 50D and weld some cables. Do you think that i need to weld to the /board/chip or the camera got some kind of jumpers that i can connect? I already check the ak4646 chip and already know here is the external mic, headphones, etc... in the chip.


(I Am a owner of a 7D, not yet get enough money for a 50D     but for you guys see how i follow this religiously i even make a nonation for the 50D ...and im happy with that. I believe in this !!!

IN ML WE TRUST   

Audio stuff is all in there.. mic is not hooked up.. audio is ak4646. I was going to make it beep next... but battery died. i'll have to use AA's.

720P encoder mode is in there too but not sure if the video mode works... will have to try in C mode.

With the chip ak4646 its possible to connect headphones, line in, external mic, etc... this is very good news

NOOOO... No way    So its possible to weld a female jack (or something) and connect a mic?

The 50D already can handle 73MB/s maybe its possible to record to CF card or to the ssd (if the guys can pull out http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5470.225 ) 

Again... AMAZING !!!

Firmware.

Thank you Roman.

So, even if it got a mic preamp in the circuit board its impossible to do it because of the firmware or its possible with some code in the ML ? (just for be sure if its possible or not...)

No use unless a mic preamp is discovered and audio controls are in the FW

Maybe the preamp is already there, in the circuit board... need to send a email to planet 5d for see if its possible for them send a email to the anonymous canon work to ask him if it got.

Andy600, what is the meaning of FW (sorry for my ("dumbiness") 

This might be interesting :O
looks like the 50d has a mic base built in :O

Maybe it's possible to weld a female jack for connect a mic ?!?!

UPDATED and amazing 70MB/s BUILD available
https://bitbucket.org/GregoryOfManhattan/magic-lantern/downloads/09june13-50D-45e63064ec08-70MB.zip
70-73MB/s  is now possible on the 50D pic.twitter.com/bENSpaArct
shot with this build yesterday and it ran great.

for those "upgrading" from my 28May or 08June builds,
replace your current autoexec.bin and ML/MODULES folder

if you have problems or do not get stable high bitrate recording on fast cards - go through the official 50D checklist (wish it was in the first post of this thread), start over, reformat card in computer, make bootable, reformat card in the camera. put in ML/DATA , ML/CROPMKS, ... if this isn't immediately obvious to you, please refer to the raw video how to  http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5520.0

you should be able to hit stable 70MB/s video on komputerbay 1000x or lexar 1000x

tonight i tried out another workflow and it proved to be a work-slow
.raw from CF card processed by rawmagic 1.0.4 beta into cinema DNGs
opened up clips in davinci resolve - deliver individual clips proress proxy
fcpx - simple linear edit cut down to 60 seconds
export XML
reimport resolve and
... fail (it kept using the wrong clips, examined the XML files had they had the correct clips in them ... maybe some default audio setting in fcpx or ...)

build linked here works at speeds above 70MB/s
so i'm releasing it.

shoot.

AMAZING !!!! NEW RECORD 

Give me three weeks and you will all be very happy people

Let's GOOO   

Woot! 50D is here.. time to order a card. Have to order a charger though, only have the plug. AA batteries might do in the meantime.

YEAHHH      Its time for an upgrade in the 50D ML 

Found some time to edit my shots I made earlier this week.

Experimented with a new workflow, I wanted something faster than ACR/Bridge, so I used RAWanizer to convert to CineformRAW 444 (about 10 minutes for 21GB of footage), graded the clips in Davincie Resolve Lite 9 and edited in Premiere CS6.

More details (and download option) on vimeo.
Shot with the 28th May build by Gregory.

Very good video. Is

So I did a semi bold move on my part yesterday. I traded my 60D which is my main camera for a 50D and $250 cash. I think it was the right move. I just still can't get over the fact that I downgraded(kind of) my camera for the first time in my life. I pray this hack keeps on growing

I already think doing that with my 7D... but then i loose my 60fps =(((

ML has manual controls with expo override (see the help).

In ML we TRUST   

You don't even have a 50D yet Wow.. you gotta be a true fan of the 50D than.  Hope you get yours soon let us know.

Yes, im huge fan of 50D    i just use my 7D for video and some times the foto for timelapse... i already think exchange my 7D for a 50D and some more money... but then i lost my 60fps and sound capability. So, i will wait more a little bit and get the all money for one 50D and some cf cards. 

...and also this is one way to say thanks  ML All Super Stars Team, thank you for the 7D ML (close donation at that time...) and for all the achievement that they have for over pass the Canon functions.

Lets rock !!!

Likewise. The growth of this is phenomenal.

Yes, indeed. I was impossible to make a donation at the time went out the  ML for the 7D, which is my camera ... but I followed the treat of the 50D from the beginning and how I could not in my time I want to do it now ... although i dont have a 50D, but very soon i will buy one 

Guy's only $53 to go.. please get your donations in, if you haven't yet contact @JulianH for details.

Waiting that my money enter in my paypal account     (3 days)

I'm doing a 'shoot raw on your 50D' video tutorial for first time ML users. This should answer most questions. Hope to have it online in a few hours.

Thanks you Julian 

Everybody Let's put money together and help 1% get a 50D.. The more we help each other the better the hacks for the 50D and other canons will be... Who is in?   

$10 each person, & if you want to put more that's even better (X) 50 people that's $500

1% let us know if you approve? 

I'm ready to put my contribution in.

Im in   

The default FPS is 30, because that's what liveview works at. (Because it never had video, it never had a need to specify anything else for this)

However you can just leave FPS override turned on and leave it at 24.

Makes sense 

HDMI Monitoring works while recording RAW. Just tested it with my llilieput monitor.

Very nice @menoc  raw and hdmi output, sweet 

@Andy600 -
I have the basics to hacking in a compiler, I could try, if I can have a few pointers.

Cheers
D

Very nice    thats the way Dunc101 

Finally! Graded, exported, edited, uploaded...

Details on Vimeo. Make sure to download the original file. Let me know what you think!

Impressive video, nice work 

Did you find any moire? And if yes can be a software or raw to dng's ?? If the 50D got so big issues with moire whats it's possible to do to work around with this problem?

Nice indeed 

@TrueIndigo: welcome to the club I might do a video tutorial on shooting raw with the 50D for first timers (just need to find time). I guess there are more people picking these camera's up. It's not difficult to get started. Just filled my 32GB card with anamorphic shots. Results later today!

Lets see that results
