Hi guys,

Today installed the ML 1.2.3 on my mk3 (with 1.2.3 firmware). Im using a SanDisc ExremePro 95mb/s.
I followed all the steps for installing and running ML. But non of the RAW formats (mlv or raw) is recording properly. I tried many different settings, but still no success! Once it starts to record it starts dropping frames almost immediately and it doesn't depend on the resolution... it only worked  with up to 864x486 not even close to 1240x720.. and what about 1920x1080. As from what I read so far It should be able to record 1920 with this card!

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

I hope that is a CompactFlash card rather than SD? (I wasn't aware there was a 95MB/s Compact Flash card from SanDisk but maybe I'm mistaken or you've made a typo). The SD card slot in the 5D3 is far too slow for RAW video regardless of how fast your SD card is.

If you do in fact have a CF card, I take it you've tried with global draw off and the various other tweaks as documented elsewhere. What results do you get from running the benchmark?

Sounds to me like you're trying to write to your SD card. Make sure you set your preferences correctly in the ML settings for the preferred card.

Hallo,

Yes I write on the SD card. Unfortunately the CF slot is damaged and I can't use it. I guess I have to go and repair it finally.

Thank you for the fast response!

Best regards!
