uncompressed 14-bit RAW video recording

[ashtrai]

The best you can with 600D (550D/60D) is: (limited by hardware SD transfer rates)
- 960х540, upscale it to 1280х720 (24 fps max)
- 1280х400, tight aspect 3.20:1 (24 fps max)
In Canon's 720p - lineskipping 1.66х, so you should upscale to restore correct ratio:
- 1280x400 upscales to 1280x664 - near to 16:9 (24 fps max)
- 1280x360 upscale to 1280x600 - 2.13:1 aspect
- 1280x320 upscale to 1280x533 - 2.40:1 cinemascope aspect

It is only 1280px wide, but pretty nice looking though

Can someone post samples from these resolutions from a 600D? I want to try to compare it upscaled against the H264 equivalents.

managed to get about 400 frames in 1920x1080 on a 5D3 today, using 90mbps Sandisk Card.
Turning off Global Draw does a huge difference when it comes to dropping frames.

Should compare 1080P/720P/320P and zoom. Seems performance is different based on those and the raw image will differ between 1080/zoom/720. Taking a crop of that may give you a higher res but I'm looking at the 720P mode stuff and its not as good as 1080 or zoom.

But better res vs more frames... I dunno. You don't have to turn global draw off completely, just shut down things like zebrase, etc.

Try setting both task priorities to 0x18 instead of 0x1a in raw_rec.c, maybe it helps with globaldraw.

forgot to ask: is it possible to record raw files to the CF card, and regular h264 video to the SD card? Would be great for previewing on set and making raw shooting a lot safer.

Hey guys,
with something about 1504x600 crop resolution set we can use tokina 11-16 at 11,5mm with absolutely no vignette on full frame cameras 
So now it's like a crop sensor DSLR (with low light abilities of FF). It would give ~15mm equivalent for full frame  (crop factor ~1,3)
(15mm is also about maximum usable value for 11-16 on full frame).

Should work if you hardcode the raw file path to A:/ and select B:/ from canon menu.

Please excuse my ignorance here, but I keep hearing about the ability to crop/pan the sensor. I have not been able to figure out how to do this.

FYI...Transcend's 32GB, 1000x card works fine up to but not including 1920 x 1080. At 1920 x 1080, it does drop frames intermittently.

Thanks for any help.

Also was that with Global Draw on or Off?

Niiice.  How can I hardcode that? I tried looking into raw.c (no decent programming skills) and found no mention to where it saves the raw file (except for a comment)...

15mm is also about maximum usable value for 11-16 on full frame

Ha! good thing for mine when I send it in.. will also fix my 35-135 which still works

Recorded a 10gb and 25gb file... checking to see if I can bust up the 10gb... write speed was really slowing down to like 1/2 towards the end.

Does Shutter Speed adjustment affect motion blur the same way with the Raw Recordind module? Do you guys think it will be possible to have simultaneous HDMI out and onboard monitor and record raw when ported to 5DMk3 1.2.1 firmware?

I was about to ask these exact same questions...beat me to it!


Since the last I inquired about recording to the HDMI-out, the developers implied that you did not even thing continuous recording would be possible...but your magical ingenuity has broken through! Is the idea of running through the HDMI's limit of 10gpbs (realistically 3.2) even a feasible approach, or is it completely unrealistic? This would reduce the strain on the camera, and heat would be much less of an issue...

Did you record a 25gb file? What about the 4gb file limit? How did you get passed that?

[KenFTW]

ive tried many configurations to be able to get usable footage with my 600d, the only problem is that damn magenta!

It's a RAW file...turn the magenta/green slider to 0.

[Habitat]

I think he's talking about the magenta blocks..

[KenFTW]

@shawn_lights perhaps I phrased it wrong, its actually a file corruption that shows up in a magenta color.

[Shawn_Lights]

Oh I see.

[mattmvpmedia]

Dear ML team: you rock. Thank you.

I've been testing out RAW on my 600D T3i and I always get tearing or magenta blocks in some of the frames. Has anyone figured out a solution to this yet?

Thanks!

[Andy600]

I'm sure if/when there are fixes and improvements the devs will upload them. Just keep an eye on https://bitbucket.org/OtherOnePercent/tragic-lantern-2.0/downloads for the 600d and use the latest files

Yea, the 4gb limit is software.... but the converter hit a snag:



This footer looks good?

I tried adding D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE and changing the fseeks to fseeko64.. still no go.

[Brian@202020]

Maybe I'm jumping ahead of myself, but do you think RAW HDR could eventually be possible?

[mixmastermike]

Just updated to the May 14th build.

Im using a Lexar 32Gb x1000 CF and I didn't have any dropped frames. With earlier builds I got dropped frames, the recording only stopped when I hit 4Gb.

[mattmvpmedia]

Thanks Andy600
