there is no point of doing test by recording 100- 200 frames. i dont have any pink frames recording only 200 frames on my 550D. problems starts when i record 1000 plus frames. i test by recording 1000 - 3000 frames

what impresses me even more is the fact that you get more frames with MLV in some tests...
mlv_rec used to be slower than raw_rec...

Well, that's all I get before it stops automatically.

I WISH I could get 1000 frames! MLV_REC works well. I guess my 60D is limited by its hardware.

lower the resolution and u should be able to shoot continous... u may not like low resolution for your project but u need to record for few mins to test. its difficult to say no more pink frames by recording 5/6 secs.

Although I may be able to shoot continuous in low res, it doesn't serve my purpose as I would not shoot that way in real case scenarios. I want to shoot at the resolutions I need to work with, so if I shot at 640x480 and could shoot for 30 minutes it still isn't going to be anything I would ever use. I am interested in what I can shoot and use in my projects and right now what I get works without pink frames. However I'll give it a go in low res and see what happens.

Another thing to note is that certain resolutions might trigger pink frames more than others.

i just came to know why i get lot of pink frames sometimes. it happens if i press magic zoom while recording

andy kh · « **Reply #57 on:** February 22, 2014, 04:27:40 AM »

wow!! no more pink frames for 550D with today's nightly. i recorded 4 clips. 2 of them 900 frames@1152X460 and other two clips 2000 plus frames @1152X432 and i dont get any pink frames in all my clips. this is wonderful

andy kh · « **Reply #58 on:** February 22, 2014, 06:11:33 AM »

I am wondering if it is just coincidence that you are not getting pink frames? I don't remember any pink frame fix added for 550D? Or did I miss a commit? Just curious because I have a 550D as well, just have not used it much since I got the 700D?

g3gg0 did some changes on the EDMAC side for mlv_rec. If the improvement is only on mlv_rec and not on raw_rec, it's from his changes.

Back then I ran my tests without recording, but with grayscale preview on (this way I was getting a lot of pink frames).

May be worth checking both methods combined (5D3/60D users, please report, because you have both fixes applied).

Until now, with the last build, i have not find any pink/cirrupted frames. Thanks you =))

GD= On
Buffer= 2

g3gg0 · « **Reply #62 on:** February 22, 2014, 05:06:54 PM »

are you talking about mlv_rec or raw_rec?

arrinkiiii · « **Reply #63 on:** February 22, 2014, 05:44:37 PM »

MLV_rec i use. I stop making tests with raw_rec. But need to test more, only recorded a few clips but with no pink/corrupted frames.

What i found is wend you preview the files in camera (hit the play button) and then return to Lv the black box for 2.25:1 is out of the place, more down of the screen, need to turn off and on to correct this bug.

Are you using mlv_rec or raw_rec?

andy kh · « **Reply #67 on:** February 22, 2014, 08:13:11 PM »

Thejungle · « **Reply #68 on:** February 26, 2014, 11:30:26 PM »

Yeah, pink frames were gone few nigltlies back in time, but newest versions are pink-infected again..

I own 600D, you guys know any solutions?

Audionut · « **Reply #69 on:** February 27, 2014, 05:33:38 AM »

Start by finding the nightly build that caused issues again.

duey101 · « **Reply #70 on:** February 28, 2014, 06:11:51 AM »

I'm still good no pink frames but I have not updated past the Feb 16th build which works on my 60D.

andy kh · « **Reply #71 on:** March 07, 2014, 02:33:51 PM »

is there any way to get rid of pink dots on 600D/700D? i know there is a pink dot removing tool but i want to know if there is any other solution?

oh i am sorry but i havent found any discussions on this. i like cdng and not dng. i think my last option is to sell my camera. i just sold my 550D last week after the pink frame fix and got this 650D thinking it wil be the same and it can record 720P but now i am little bit frustrated with pink dots on this camera. now its time to sell this camera. thank q anyway
