[nightly builds]

? 1920x826 why , it a 4k file (4128x1776)  Yes, but experimental right now .

I've just tried to do it, because Full HD 16x9 is the final  form of the future project. But - yes, I can export it to 4K (after first grading) and re-frame it to 16x9 after the final grading in Final Cut Pro 7 or X.

I can get 3200x1250 @ 24fps , 3700x1080 24fps & in the
non experimental (nightly builds) 1920x1078 in 3xcrop_mode (high crop factor 3x).Yes , but for video it doesn't much matter . Canon says the shutter life span is 100,000 but I read that other 50d users had as much (350000+) counts and had no problems.
Unless you plan on doing a long time lapse with cr2 photos , the high shutter count shouldn't be any problem in Video mode .

OK, so there's nothing to worry about.

I think that 50D awaits a big future, much bigger than 100D because 50D has a CF 70 MB/s slot. (Sorry for my English).

Thank you so much! Got the file and graded it. Exporting to ProRes4444 1920x826 takes 2.5 minutes on my 2008 8-core Mac Pro using MLVApp.

Are there any other non-anamorphic hi-res modes on 50D currently?

I can get 50D body almost as cheap as used CF 1066x 64GB flash for it. The seller says it's shutter counter is almost 350000, is this a big value for 50D?

On a side note , I figured out 4k 3x1 4096x720 ->4096x2160 @23.976fps 
on 50D with continuous recording on Lexar 1066x

Could you, please, be so kind to upload the original MLV file?

Am I to understand that by now 50D is better choice than 100D for real work?

Is 50D worth buying instead of 100D?

Here's what I shoot with ML RAW. Filmed with Canon EOS 100D, Canon 18-55 STM, Magic Lantern, Nightly build Jan 19, 2020, 14 bit lossless, 1760x990, 25 fps. Processed in the MLV App, used the filter "Film 'FJ'" (FujiFilm film emulation), sharpness set at 60, Clarity, Vibrance and Saturation set at 20. Output format is ProRes 4444 in 1920x1080 resolution. There is also 4K UHD version of it, made from the same MLV file.

 So, this camera wouldn't be able to output the full speed raw video stream (*.mlv)?

So, could you please be so kind to tell me what is better for shooting Full HD or around that in 14 bit loseless? 100D or EOS M?

Can you recommend to use Sandisk Extreme Pro U3 256 GB SD card with 100D? Or even the 512 GB version? Will it overclock?

I wonder if Canon EOS M is better than EOS 100D in shooting non-crop video?

The point here is not in the duration limitation, because it's may be covered by using multiple cameras each of them starts shooting at different time. Let's also suppose that we have as many CFs for each camera as would be enough for recording a 2-hour event. So, at the time when we're changing a CF at cam no. 1,  cam no. 2 continues shooting, so that we could use the video from cams no. 2 and no. 3.

The point here is - will 5D Mk II and CF overheat during continuos work?

By the way: is there SD_UHS support for 5D Mk II?

H.264 is much worse in quality than the RAW.

I've got it, thank you.

Is it possible to shoot an entire 2-hour concert with 2 or 3 5D Mk II? Using 128 GB CFs and power adaptors and ML 12 bit lossless RAW. Will the cameras overheat?

Does 5D Mk II have any advantages over 100D when shooting 1920x1080 crop? That is, in the no lines skipping mode.

I can get 5D Mk II for $260 or so, but in order to use it's full sensor the anti-aliasing filter is needed, and it's more expensive than the camera.

Thank you so much. This works (so-so), but the video was highly overexposed.

By the way, the 2K (2520x1080p) crop mode is very, VERY buggy. I've switched it on/off countless time. For example: https://yadi.sk/d/29u4j2ki7JoTiw To cop with it (at least, until the update comes), I use to do the next steps:
- switch off the camera,
- take out and in the battery,
- switch the camera on again,
- it says that "camera was not shut down cleanly, skipped module loading", so I'm switching off and on the camera again,
- then I'm switching it to the photo mode (this is important! not to the video mode!),
- go to ML menu, switch the crop mode off,
- set the camera to the video mode and switch the crop mode on to 2K (2520x1080p).

I've also noticed that during work with SD_UHS the SD card warms up quite a lot for 5 minutes. To cool it during shooting, I took off the cover of this bay. It works - at least, for now.

Despite all that, this is a miracle to have a camera that costs $200 with kit lens and is able to shoot 1080p 14 bit uncompressed (=lossless) video.

UPD: now I'm switching off the 2K mode each time I've done with shooting. It takes some time, but it works.

I'm making tests, here is one, if someone is interested. MLV file: https://yadi.sk/d/j5p5YR9YzcrjBQ Session file: https://yadi.sk/d/STclZ0KaFpEQcg  ProRes 444 file: https://yadi.sk/d/5WkNLiHUY5RkUQ Non-crop mode, 1736x936 25p, upscaled in postproduction to 1920x1080. Sorry, I used no tripod here.

just download and install it.

OK, I've downloaded, unzipped and installed it, this was simple. Finally it works, without any chroma smooth. Sorry for my fault.

By the way, there is some noise that occurs when I'm scrolling down the highlights to -25 or exposure to, say, -1, all in MLVApp. Perhaps that is because the video was overexposed during shooting? https://yadi.sk/i/E-dY9-jV9mL8xA Note that pink noise in the sky above the bridge.

This is the link to raw file of the simple test. Please, don't shoot at me. This is pre- removing focus pixels. https://yadi.sk/d/xwuqhFnM6_BxhQ

Do I have to make new focus pixel map each time I make new shoot?

The dialog shows this: https://yadi.sk/i/Z8dBd3L7Btbr5A

Yes, it should work, but it doesn't work.

All I've got with it - here it is.

By the way, I'm on OS X 10.10.

I've applied "Fix Focus Dots" (method 2), "Fix Bad Pixels" (Force, Agressive, 3), and, what's most important, "Chroma Smooth" to 3x3. All the focus and the bad pixels had completely gone, and the clarity is not affected.

OK, I've done it, it works. Now I've got working "mini-Alexa", I even can shoot 12 bit lossless at almost 1080. But, maybe, 50D or EOS M is better, who knows.

The only thing that disturbs me is the overheating of the SD card. I've just tested my Transcend SDXC I U3 128 GB using 3x crop mode, 11 bit lossless, 1736x936 for 5 minutes, and when I got the card off the camera, the card was very hot.

I still have focus pixels. 100D 1.01, the latest January 19-th 100D build, 3x crop mode, 1736x936. I'm using MLVApp, set Fix Focus Dots to CropRec with any interpolation method - no use.

Thank you, that is all I needed to know about CF cards.

Thank you. What about Lexar x1066?

I'm deeply sorry for being a newbie on this forum, but my question is: what is the best, but not much expensive CF card for 50D?

What's the purpose of the bitrate higher than 1.0x from normal with h.264?

Finally I'm a happy user of ML capabilities for Canon EOS 100D camera. My build is 100B.

I use the Transcend 128 GB SDXC UHS-I card to record raw video and other stuff by ML. My own record in raw video shooting is 55 minutes for one take at 1312*710 @ 23,980 fps, global draw off, sound module off, crop mode off, using a Canon ACK-E15 adapter.

I don't know the sense of the following things:

1. Sound level indication while shooting. AFAIK, the user cannot change the sound recording level during the shooting, am I right?

2. Video bitrate option.  Higher bitrate doesn't affect image quality. What is it for?

And, tell me, please, how can I get rid of artifacts in the DNG stills which is called (AFAIK) "focus pixels"?

Still there is no raw capability for 100D?

[q]but really, you can grade alexa footage to look like footage from an iphone, right?[/q]
But you cannot do the opposite?
