Remote trigger video recording on 1-button remotes

[Patola]

Hello,

I was looking for a way to make my 1-mode remote (this type - it does not have the switch at the back to change triggering modes: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/free-shipping-tracking-number-remote-control-RC-C-for-Canon-60D-450D-500D-550D-600D-7D/755702349.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.21.dyV6yE&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_7,searchweb201602_1_301_10034_507_10032_10020_10017_10005_10006_10021_10022_401_10018_10019,searchweb201603_2&btsid=5fed4d6d-8630-4023-a932-a4e3af828480) be able to shoot videos; I found an old discussion here - http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7805.0 - where user SDX said it had developed a module for recording with half-shutter. I could not use it in my magic lantern (Canon EOS 60D, 1.1.1 firmware) because it said the API was 2.0 and it needs 6.0. I contacted user SDX and he said he does not even have the source anymore. So I am looking for a module that does this: can start and stop recording videos with my remote.

Can someone help me? I have got the lua module installed and if it does the job, a script would suffice instead of a module. Any help is appreciated, even pointing me at sample code that I could modify for my purposes.

And I think it does not hurt to ask - I found the IR remote to be kind of troublesome because you need to point to the exact spot on the camera, so I am looking for a wired remote that could start/stop video recording and maybe even other functions. Does anyone have a suggestion of which remote I could buy? Preferrably at China. I live in Brazil and tax + shipping from the US gets quite expensive...
