The sescom cable and record video

[thanhha146]

Hi all,
I want to record native h264 1080mov in a 5d2, and use ML only for Audio recording. I'd monitor audio w the sescom cable and record video w one card for a long time, syncing w Pluraleyes etc. How can I do this? Disable a module? Enable native recording ML menu?
Do I have to record ML raw video always while recording native 1080 video?
Thanks!

I think your request is confusing. My questions are:

I want to record native h264 1080mov in a 5d2, and use ML only for Audio recording.

• Are you using two different cameras or something? Like one 5D2 for Video and one for audio? Are is this all on the same camera? Your wording is a little confusing to me.
• If you're using the same camera, how is it more beneficial to record ML audio separately? Just separate the video/audio channels in your editor
• Are you wanting to have the .WAV file that MagicLantern can create? I guess in that case then is there truly a dramatic improvement in audio quality on MLV sound vs H.264 sound (question to forum)?
