I think i have the same problem. I was wondering if it was just me or it was a real problem. Using a 50D. Im going back to February build.

In fact i have some trouble with mlv. In raw i can record as long as the cf card allows me, but in mlv i can just record one minute before skipped frame. After that the camera starts freezing again and again, even if im nit recording. So i just shoot raw. But it would be nice to have a better mlv mode

@Jip-Hop try merging the files together and rescuing the merged file.

@ayshih thanks for pointing me in that direction. I did some searches and didn't find anything. The tips that this man gives are great. I already have the battery grip and i will try using an external monitor to see if it overheats less.
In fact, i had some problems with corrupted files . Luckily i could rescue them (almost) all with this python script.

I thought it was caused by the card getting full but now i think it was caused by overheating and full card (Lexar 32GB 1000x (just 9 minutes of video  )).
After that corrupted files problem i tried to keep the camera cool by shutting off the live view while i wasn't using it and after every shot. The settings keep the same doing this and the temperature goes down some degrees.

Yes  your script worked perfectly. It made some files and inside them the good files. Some of them came out with bandin but at least i could recover most of them. Thanks a lot!

I just want to ask something. Is anyone else having overheating problems? After 30 minutes with the LiveView turned on, i start  having the ML message FPS Warning. Possible overheating. And the Termometer that comes in the Global Draw is at 57ºC. My only workaround is to turn off live view whenever i can. I have read in the ML manual that 50D may overheat. But in other people experiences it doesnt get heated so quickly so maybe im doing something wrong. ¿Anyone with the same problem? ¿Solutions? Maybe any bad configuration i may have?

I'm having the same problem on a 50D i recorded some videos and three of them came out with pink crazyness. I can join the files and extract the dngs but some of the dngs are pink noise with recognizable shapes. I have tried the footer hex fix in several different ways and nothing. Always the same dngs came out corrupted. Im going to try the python script and see the results....

With the nightly build i couldn't change the shutter speed. Until i activated the Expo Override, with it i can change shutter to 1/48 without a problem and if i change the Aperture the shutter stays the same. Everyone who is having trouble with shutter should try the expo Override. At least it solved my shutter problems
