guys, how do you embed videos in posts?

With all due respect - this thread is about 550D Raw Video - please keep posts pertinent to the subject.

Thanks
Rob

"raw2dng.exe is a command line tool? So you could fire up a terminal with Run cmd from your Windows start menu, change directory to your raws and raw2dng exe with cd whatever then type raw2dng M000000.RAW, hit return and that should do it. Otherwise could try one of the batching tools from the Post Pro thread?"

On my Win 7 and Win 8 pc's I simply drag the raw file and drop onto raw2dng.exe and it produces all the dng's into the same directory as the raw2dnd.exe file. It's really quick too.

Unable to experiment on my 550D just now as I'm away till the weekend with other camera gear. Looks like good progress is being made though. I have a BMPCC on order so I won't be buying a 50D, but the 550D could be useful for green screen work maybe.

Just shot a short clip on a 550D with a 45MB/s Sandisk 16GB card using mk11174's hack from http://www.mediafire.com/download/b866nsqwokaeqq8/ML_Raw_FPS.rar

720x406 @25fps

Yes, the new site is excellent and brings everything together. Very well done chaps!

I bought a Canon SX230 as a backup camera in case my 550D packed up on a crucial shoot (on board an oil tanker of all things). As usual though the 550D with ML 2.2 never faltered but I had a play with the SX230 and was really impressed. It shoots at 1080p/24 plus a super slo-mo frame rate of 200+  fps (but only at a very small picture size).  There is also a firmware hack similar to ML (but nowhere near as powerful)

The quality is very very good, not quite up to the 550D, and it's so easy to use - perfect for "run n gun" situations. I take it everywhere. Only criticism is the battery life - but spare batteries on eBay aren't expensive.

The 230SX has been superseded by a newer model now so you can pick one up for around GBP £150 - a great bargain.

Great tutorial. Bought the "Track, Match, Blend" DVDs a few weeks ago which are really good too. Seems like there's no stopping Magic Lantern & Blender - what a brilliant combo.
