Before Reddeer kills you,
I don't think there is a black bar in the 1880 Build. Its very old build, before unified.
:P
Yes in the old core code with raw_rec module before mlv_rec in 2014 ->2013

If you like to try it on your 5D2 ML-build_Oct24_orginal_raw.zip
You have to delete all the old file from new builds except the "CROPMKS" folder (but it will work without it)
all you need for modules is  RAW_REC.MO & 5D2_212.SYM plus the AUTOEXEC.BIN in the root of the card .
so you have just 14bit , & 1880 or it can be switched off for just 1872 & 3x crop_mode has 2152 .

So to catch up, ML is "unified" now? In layman's terms, what does that mean exactly (for us non-coders?)

Reddeercity, is 1872px not available because the "unified" code requires 32px increments? Thus forcing us at a max 3x3 binned resolution of 1856?

Maybe the answer to the previous question will answer this one: Any way to get 1872px in the 5D2 nightly build?

(Thanks for answering these questions for us "late-adopters" of ML)

"unified" as the word mean "Join together"
so the best parts of different development branches (including source code from the old core)
merged into the "unified" Source code which the nightly builds are based on .
Exception are things like "Crop_Rec" , "Dual_ISO Video" , etc. .... there are developer own branches
which is based on the "unified" source code with developer own modifications to the code .

Once the developer's code is stable & proven to work correctly they can 
submitted there code to the Admin (aka a1ex) to be joined with the "unified" source code (which the nightly are base on)
This the goal of all developer/coder in the end .

Short answer , Yes

I do believe that the mlv_lite module has the work around to get 1880 but at a cost .
There no audio support on d4/5d2 , you can't kill the overlays(global draw) where recording
which reduces the record time by at least 30+% .
mlv_lite is mainly mean for compressed raw ( which has has reduce data rate) which the 5d2 does not (Yet)
thou it still work fine

But sometime down the road I could possibly add support for 1880(3x3) in my "Crop_Rec" branch    for mlv_rec module that has audio support
That would be more then likely way down on my priority list .

Thanks so much for the clarification reddeercity!! And thanks for your ongoing development!!

Another question. Lol. Sorry!

Does it matter what movie setting is set in normal canon menus for MLV recording if I always use FPS Override?

I'm deeply sorry, but who could, please, be so kind to tell me where I could find all current RAW capabilities of 5D Mk II?
Canon EOS 5D Mk III + Canon 24-105 F/4 L IS USM + SanDisk Exreme Pro 64 GB (SD, ML Nightly.2021Feb07.5D3113) + SanDisk Extreme Pro 128 GB (CF).

@reddeercity, thanks so much!

Just some thoughts here, to help me wrap my head around this:

As of now, 1856px (3x3) crops the field of view 1.01x (IE: 50mm equivalent is 50.5mm.) If we could get 1872, we could get a full field of view in 3x3 mode. But would require a resolution increment of 16px. What are the caveats of a smaller resolution increment?

Thank you!! Happy to help in any way needed!

I see a lot of users posting about 3x3 and 1x3 mode.
I'm a bit confused as to what this is, is there an explanation of what it is anywhere?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

I am sorry if this is a stupid question. I have a 5D Mark ii with the latest ML firmware added and a Atomos Ninja 5.

Right now I am at a standstill because the Ninja is saying "no input" despite an HDMI cord being connected from the Mini HDMI out from the camera to the HDMI IN on the Ninja.

Are there further settings I must toggle in the camera to be able to record on the Ninja 5? It is not reading anything at all, the cord is new

Could you guys tell me briefly about the slow motion capabilities of this camera?
With its 77MB/s write speed and buffer size of 219mb it seems multiple times more powerful than the eos M.
Ive checked out the Magic Lantern RAW Calculator and got some promising results with 48 and 60fps. But does it work in reality?
I barely see people doing slow motion with this camera and Im concerned if its working at all. Ive seen Zeek pulling off some remarkable
48fps footages but can the 5D mark II do better?

Currently Im being in Japan (where cameras are cheap) and Im in a haste about what camera to buy so a little bit of info would help me a lot!

??
So what make you think that 48p doesn't work ?

Thank you for your reply!

I was actually aware of this post but im still concerned as
QuoteSame as before , it may lockup , freeze , etc. ... you guy know the routine
48p can be hard to enable.

I'd like to know how reliable is it because I want to do slow motion in music videos. Also,
Quoteenable 4k Anamorphic for a few second then switch to "FHD 48p" press the play but twice .
should I do this before every take or once I'm this 48fps setting I'd be able to do multiple takes without tinkering again?
Furthermore, I found no info on how long you can record in this mode. Also It seems as 60fps mode is out of question but I want to make sure weather meaningful 60fps is possible or not.

I do understand that this camera+ml is not ideal for pro level slow motion shots but I got to do the best with the little money I have now....

Hi all, I'd like to record 3 channel audio (built in mic plus external stereo). Has anyone thought of this? Is it doable?

first time with 5d m2 on a job and wondering about best cf cards to use (to prevent overheating and for longest recording time)

Never heard about 1066x CF-cards differing in terms of power consumption.

Hey guys been a while since I was on here
Hiw can I down load the latest firmware for the mark 2 the download section is gone



berechiah

Sorry I mean the magic lantern firmware for the 5d 2

Walter Schulz

Magic Lantern is not firmware.
www.magiclantern.fm -> What is Magic Lantern?
"Magic Lantern is a free software add-on that runs from the SD/CF card and adds a host of new features to Canon EOS cameras that weren't included from the factory by Canon."

And Magic Lantern's download section is not gone. Scroll up: Right side "Downloads"

berechiah

Thanks again do u know the latest builds from danne and all those downloads

Where have they gone
It was in bitbicket

Walter Schulz


berechiah

That's the one

Look thanks for the reply I appreciate it

subpardaemon

hi,

new user here. been playing around with ML but cannot make it work in a stable fashion. just recently it died with symbol missing then file missing errors, so something's up with the CF card, i presume. the camera firmware is the latest, 2.1.2, i used the nightly, and i use a sandisk extreme udma7 120mb/s 32gb cf card. i formatted it in the camera (using the only available format option, so i don't know what this deep formatting should be), and on the surface, everything seemed to work. but it's unstable, ranging from suddenly cutting out from recording, giving me strange display outputs etc.

any tips on how to proceed? is there a certified stable version of ML for 2.1.2?
