Thank you for the suggestions. I fear the bottleneck is truly the camera. I might consider buying the T6i, which supports the faster SD cards, but there is no ML build to support it. I am not buying another camera, unless I am able to use it for my intended purpose.
I thought about using the LED and a photodiode. It would be awkward, but I could build the electronics and logic for that. I didn't realize my camera has a 'beep'. I have done some coding, but haven't investigated ML, so don't know if I could modify it or not. A standard SD memory can make its initial saves in about 3.5 seconds, for a DNG image. Eventually it needs up to 6 or more seconds. A 'camera ready' status signal will help, but still wouldn't allow me to record 100 frames per minute.
MLV? Is that available in 'Silent Picture' mode? How would I control how and when an exposure is taken? I am triggering the 'half shutter' signal, with my controller board. Coding makes my brain hurt, but if ML could be modified to record MLV, in Silent Picture mode, using the half shutter signal, I would consider it. Is there any resolution or quality loss, as compared to the DNGs I get now, in Hi-Res mode?
I appreciate the suggestions, but I fear that 30MB images are simply going to take this long with standard speed SDs. The 650D doesn't support the faster memories.
BTW, is there a 'dead pixel' removal utility anywhere that will operate on your DNGs? That is a filter I need, and nothing I have tried seems to work.
