[yet!]

I tested a little more. Things I did:

1. disabled bootflag and rebooted
2. removed battery grip
3. Formated cf card (and removed ML)
4. cleared canon settings
5. cleared C.Fn funktions
6. Made these install steps: http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/install

Still get blinking frames.
I tested with disabled Auto lighting optimizer and ML Live View.
Enabled Auto lighting optimizer and ML Live View
and enabled Auto lighting optimizer and Canon Live View. First blink frame appeared after 1:05 minutes.

No blinking frame with disabled Auto lighting optimizer and Canon Live View... yet!
Seems like I got a bad camera model

When I use the Canon Live View, it seems it doesn't happen.
It also seems that there are less blinking frames when I disable Auto lighting optimizer. But because of the random issue, I have to test more to be sure with my assumption.
Next I will test Canon Live View with enabled Auto lighting optimizer, but I think my camera is stressed with some settings and magic lantern.

Does it help if you set ML digital ISO to 0?

No, it doesn't. Here you have another example, straight out of the camera:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7dqmjcwifx34s7f/MVI_0022.zip?dl=1

Recorded without ML ISO -0.3 EV. Just Canon analog ISO 800. (but it also appears on any other ISO setting.)

I did upload a video here. There you can see the issue:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mtokcn1vpql8rdi/magiclantern.mp4?dl=1

Or are you interested in a original video?

Are you able to test with 2.3 "stable"? Just delete ML nightly folder and Autoexec.bin and copy extracted "stable" contents to card.

Yes. I record videos for over a year with the stable build and never have that "blinking" frames in videos. Just very often that annoying known microphone bug the first second and when I use the ML GUI in Live View the video can be hanging for 3 frames so I always use the standard Canon GUI.
The hanging frames also happened in a test video yesterday with latest Nightly, but much more annoying are the blinking frame...
Are there different hardware models who are unable for a good ML result?

None of the modules are enabled. So I guess the standard h.264 of Canon.

Maybe it's also important to say, that I enabled Highlight Tone P. in the Canon settings.

Hi,
I always have a problem with the Nightly version of Magic Lantern. When I am recording a video, I always get "broken" frames after a random of time. Sometimes very often, sometimes luckly not...
It always appears as a brighter frame than the others.
This problem never occurs with the stable 2.3 release. It already happened with the nightly ~1 year ago. Now I came back, to find out that it still appears. This makes the Nightly for me still unusable But maybe I am doing something wrong myself?
To see what I am talking about, I uploaded a short video here (frame number 46):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mtokcn1vpql8rdi/magiclantern.mp4?dl=1

I used a Canon 5D Mark II, FW 2.1.2 and Nightly from 28th january with SanDisk Extreme 60 MB/s UDMA 32 GB.
Here are my custom settings:


Thank you very much for any help!
