I just did : delete my old ml directory, copy the new one.
Load the mlv_lite + mlv_play + raw_twk modules and don't forget to restart your 5D2 to see the options  MOVIE/RAW Video/Bit Depth.

 You will find 10 and 12 bit selection under ML menu : MOVIE/RAW Video/Bit Depth.
Hope it helps.

@ae1x thanks for the clarification and the long answer ... (a bit hard to understand for me)

Hope one day, it will be a short answer like "liveview never freezes or slowdown !"

Thanks for your very detailed answer.
For ML developpers, I understand that roadmap is great and for me too ! but as a 5D2 user, the bigger problem it's exact framing.
I know the ML forum rules and I'm asking nothing to developpers. I want just to dialogue with technical people about hdmi output and liveview freezing.
Could we find more easily the liveview bug if we were independant of hdmi ouput engine by switching it off ? (I don't know how or even if it's possible, i'm not ml developper)
I don't have any background on Edmac, interupts, sync frame etc... but I allways split stuff to make it easier. Since users don't use hdmi output and liveview at the same time, it will be a nice feature to switch off the one we don't want. Just a thought.
I'm just thinking out loud, for developpers is certainly non sense or bullshit but who knows with this ML team ...

A tiny present for 5D2 users: 10/12-bit recording working without synchronization issues!

@a1ex What a present ! Thanks a lot, I see that your work on dual pixel on 5DIV don't make you forget the old and goody 5DII ! 5D2 users allways need you. Hope your next contribution on 5D2 branch will not be in ten years !

Thanks reddeercity, waza57, dfort to believe in this old D4 cam ! Keep up the good work.

Well done Reddeercity  !
Thanks to keep up the good work on 5D2 !
I'm a little bit scary about the channel 02 and aex1's warning ...
so when the right channel will be found, I will test it for sure !
Which picture size did you try with success in 12bit crop 1:1 23,96hz ? 1920x1076 ?
Thanks

Whaaa 
Thanks a lot Reddeercity !
Yours settings files rules !
Now I have greyscale liveview on 5D2 , great !
On my settings I changed PAL to NTSC without results on unfreezing.
But with yours settings, I changed NTSC to PAL and liveview freezes ... so NTSC with your settings is the graal.
So I think, NTSC is not the only one parameter to tweak.

I post my old settings to find the differences with yours because I don't understand the meaning of each parameter on these config files.

Hi !

@reddeercity

Thanks for your video, I saw it but I still have a question : is your liveview was freezing during recording ?

I've installed your version (with the link you've gave us) and copied all the settings I could see in your video,

I didn't manage with my 5D2  to have a liveview unfreezing in crop mode + MLV2.0 ( with a hdmi connected or without ).

Do you have a "magic" settings or perhaps I've missed something ?

David

Hi,

I'm new to this forum, I 've read all this thread about 10/12 bit raw and many other threads on raw, so I apologise if my question is too simple.
First above all, I want to thanks the magic lantern team    ! and reddeercity for his 5D2 support with tutorials all along so many years ...
Now my question : with my 5D2 and Dec18.5D2212 software, I can't get "crop" or "not crop" without Liveview freezing.
So reddeercity how can you film 8 min ? with hdmi output ? with "magic" settings ?

Let me know, please.

David
