Good afternoon

ML works fine for RAW recordings on my 50D in 1x mode.  When I switch to 5x the view switches to B&W (annoying but not a huge deal).
When in 5x and I hit record the recording starts - the little movie camera symbol is red though - it records only 8 seconds of video and then stops with the error 'Frame skipped. Stopping"
The 5x view is now color - but I still cannot record other than the first 8 seconds.
I have looked at the 8 second videos - they do seem to record in color.

FYI - my memory card is a 128Gb Lexar Professional (rated for 160 Mb/sec 1066x  UDMA 7)
Anybody else have this error or know how to fix it?

Also - any suggestions on free software to convert from the MLV Raw videos to SER format?

Thanks in advance

Actually I just fixed the problem by dropping the frame rate to 20 fps.  I thought I had tried that before - now it works for some reason - must have done something wrong.

Still interested in suggestions for conversion software though...

Thanks
