@xNiNELiVES I tried recording audio within the 5D3 but it would only record a few seconds and then stop, so I plugged the mic in to my T3i and recorded it there, with the t3i I pointed it at the screen and I could see exactly when it started and what frame it was on.

Can't you just plug in an external mic that saves to another storage location in which you plug into the camera? When the camera starts and stops shooting shouldn't the camera send a signal for the microphone to start and stop recording? Thats how I would think microphones as such should work...

This is my third and last test with RAW. I think I will try and finally use it for an actual project. I am loving the quality. This is just a quick test, I forgot to fix the white balance on one of the shots.

How many frames can you get at this resolution?
Cute dog and nice quality btw.

You've got the NR choice in high ISO nr menu while in video mode ?
In a not yet released update i think.

Not sure activating the 3 functions in video mode will free more mem. They must have defined the same reserved mem space for multi pics functions but.... who knows !

We are now at 7 x 32Mb buffer.... but 255MB free would normaly contain arround 8 x 32
The buffer line displays only 7 stars... There is a problem with the 8th ?

To go forward: getting more and more free mem for buffers will allow us to film longer time without skipped frames, ok.
Perhaps we will someday get 10x32MB buffers. But about writing speed, we know the 6D is running at 50MB/s top.
We can actually record at max 39MB/s on cards handling twice this write speed...
Is there any way to investigate where is the bottleneck in camera ?

I 100% agree with Teo, why are we getting 39mb/s when uhs-1 standards are supposed to be 45mb/s and the camera apparently has the ability to shoot 50mb/s. We need to find the bottleneck...

I believe aspect ratios are off as of right now. 1728 at an aspect ratio of 2.67 has a vertical resolution of 672, it should be 648.

Ok I have my Extreme pro to test right now but I don't have an extreme to compare it to. I don't really know how to get a 255mb buffer size like you Kgv5 so my results would be different from yours... Could you set your memory to 151mb for testing purposes, temporarily? Thanks.

Edit: Well on this test you did before:
"1664x624   612, 648, 630 (with hack on - 730, 738, 756)   upscale 115,5%"

I got 720 frames without hack mode on... Probably would get about 830+ with hack mode on. I guess it is a bit better lol.

I can try to force them on in movie mode like I did with the NR, don't remember seeing it in the menu unti I forced  it.

Try it, can't hurt right?

@Audionut thanks for the link to Alex's post.

Perhaps I need some help navigating this forum. I did several searches for "white balance 6200 kelvin" and others keywords as well thinking many others have run in to this issue as I have but I found nothing about this.

Does the search option not work well here on this forum? Is there another way to find information on this forum quickly? I have many other questions that I would like to find answers to and I have read most if not all the Sticky Topics.

Sorry if this is a silly questions.

Dave how did you get the audio synced up? Did you have the microphone plugged into the camera? I'm not really knowledgeable at all when it comes to external audio solutions.

When is it going to be possible to not have to turn on and off noise reduction in some ritualistic procedure every time to o tain 255mb buffer size?

I'd suggest going to Google type in: "site:" followed by the magical lantern forum url. Then hit space and type in your search inquiry. It works pretty good.

Big fan of you're work on youtube by the way.  I've been watching you for about a year now, keep up the great work.

All i can say is WOW!!

So much nicer and no more sensor crash on last DNG!! Very nice improvement guys!

The feedback on the latest update is nice and all but this is in the wrong section to post.

First I'd like to say thanks to 1% for all the work he is putting into this project.  This is awesome!  And thanks noisyboy for the tutorial.  I was wondering how to install ML on my 6D and I found this thread and was psyched.  I followed your instructions and did it with 0 issues. 

I do have one question.  I want to use several different SD cards.  Do I have to follow the whole process again to install on the other cards?  I did the whole downgrade and upgrade process when I installed it.  Do I do that again for another card? 

Thanks again

just copy the ML files for 1.1.3 (in the zip) to your other SD cards...

Edit: Dammit beat me by a second! Literally too lol

Just testing with my Sigma 50-500mm @ 500mm. 1536x624 turned into 2048x832 jpegs in camera raw. Then down to 1920.

And x5 lol this is crazy. 2500mm.
Edit: replaced 2500mm test by better one.

How the hell are you recording at 5x? Just hit record after using the live view zoom? This feature is implemented with ML? Never knew this...

BTW I was laughing my ass off when you told in the edit that the horse wasn't injured or mental because it was standing still. lol

High ISO speed NR to multi, If you have this option greyed out set Long Exp. Noise Red. to OFF in the first place.
255 MB - hell yeah - 1728x736 >>> 342 frames!!!! with hack OFF, hack ON - 357 frames 

This is huge


6D max resolution (1792x752) in 2,39:1 aspect ratio: 280 frames hack ON, 280 hack OFF
1792x672    2,67:1     421 hack OFF
1664x704    2,39:1     528 frames hack OFF
1664x624        2,67:1    1548 frames hack OFF

I just got 241 frames at 1664x624. This is with force left, global draw off, at 24p with a sandisk extreme pro 32gb. WTF!

EDIT:

Well I actually compared my results to an older test he did and got 100 frames more. I guess Kgv5 you're doing this theoretically if we get a 255mb buffer size?

1% seems to have released something new regarding the buffer memory: [113] ETTR-MemDontclick.zip

Care to explain this 1%.

Thanks

So I can get a 255mb buffer size but not in live view. In live view it goes down to 151mb. Raw video is supposed to work on the video live view right? Not the photo live view?

Edit:
Ok I've repeatedly gotten 255mb buffer size in non live view. As soon as I go to live view the buffer size reduces...

Also I'm experiencing a decent bit of crashing every so often from switching to video live view from still live view...

EDIT:
Oh my god, I just read back to finally put the nail in the coffin in my suspicion that it only works in photo mode, hence the release name...

Yeah I'm getting bad frames. I using a 32gb extreme pro. I turn of global draw, but cannot find hacked mode. At 1792x672 at 24p I only get 180 frames. User Kgv5 got 421 frames. I don't know why I'm getting such bad frames. If I could get any assistance from the community here to optimize like everyone else that'd be great.

Also on card R/W benchmark it only tests read and write only once each, in the screenshots here I see it being done filling up the entire page...

What settings did you use to obtain 255mb buffer size.

Edit:
Well sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't odd...

I only got 180 frames with 1792x672 (or something close to these numbers. I forgot the exact amount), with apparently 255mb buffer size but then I checked again after I took the video and it went back to 151mbs. Kgv5 how did you get 380 frames!? I never saw any Hacked mode. What other settings are you using.

Just installed [113] BigMemPhoto.zip. When I go to the raw video option, resolution and aspect ratio both are greyed out and say "N/A". I then see another resolution tab farther down in the raw video section. The option says that the resolution is at 576x-32. What the hell? On the bottom it says cannot write at this resolution because it will be writing at -.7mb/s? I try changing all of these values but it doesn't work...

--Nevermind lol, I just restarted my camera and it works...

For those that are interested I also made a "tutorial" of me installing ML raw on my 5D3 for the first time which is a little different from his video because he already had ML installed.

Hope it helps someone:

I figured out how to get past the 4GB limit, now I have figure out why it shuts off after 2:00 of recording or 9.7GB.

It stopped because you hit the 4gb limit, not because your card is slow.  The thing is about these komputerbay cards is that they often corrupt your footage when you upload the footage back to your computer. Several people just on these forums have complained about this issue.

The asm module wasn't fast enough... tried it.

So what does this mean.  It's not possible for live conversion to 12 bit?

Same. I would like to test.

Old LV_REC just added up to 1920 the way it did the math.

I don't know how that works because in non zoom its smaller than that (1792)

I have no idea what this crop mode is. I know what live view zoom is, but I have no idea what it has to do with recording...

So on the current version we cannot select 1920 as a horizontal resolution? On the older versions we can? Anyways the 120 frames you got actually will be a little less with people who have a faster memory card. That's about 6+ seconds. I say a good ending goal should be 30 seconds. This of course is with the thought that 12 bit raw will be implemented. That would be under 50mb/s. Hopefully around 45.

That's what's so weird, I have a Sandisk Ultra 16GB class 10 which advertises 30MB/s read/write speed. But the benchmark says different.

Your cameras hardware is listing your SD Card to probably 20mb/s. Most likely around 17.

With 12 mb/s write your going to get barely any frames. You need the max you can get with a SanDisk ultra at 30mb/s read and write.

Thank you both.

To noisyboy: thanks for not modifying any new packages. That'd give everyone a nice stock experience. It's kinda like an OCD thing for me.

Anyways I bought a sandisk 32gb extreme pro. I should be able to test as soon as it arrives.
