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 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 =))

are you talking about mlv_rec or raw_rec?

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.

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?

Start by finding the nightly build that caused issues again.

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

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
