uncompressed 14-bit RAW video recording

[Picture and Color]

Need a hand. I tried to go back to an earlier build and loaded the older files on to the CF card.

When I booted up the camera with this older build, ML did not run. Strange. So I tried to update firmware again. Partway through the process it appeared frozen at the 'boot flag enabled' message. I had to take the battery out.

Upon restart, ML does not run at all, no matter which build I have on my CF card. Also, when I try to update the firmware, it says no firmware update found and I have to pop out the battery.

Edit: Went and loaded the Mk3 alpha... then went back to the development May 17 build and it's back to normal. Leaving this one here in case someone else encounters this.

Did you try formatting the card on the computer before putting in another ML version?

Really pushing the colors!:-)

Thanks to MLheroes;-) all over the world for donating their time doing this!!!

Same problem. Err 80. Any ideas?

Hello everyone, yesterday analyzing the dng file after conversion with raw2dng and comparing them with raw files taken with the same settings and lighting, I realized that working them in lightroom appear compression artifacts .. I do not know if developers ml if they are noticed .... I am attaching a 'picture .. or lowered the value of clarity .... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71964196/CR2vsDNG.jpg

Hey guys,

First, congratulations on the breakthrough: it's mindblowing, I feel like Darius Khondji 

However I do have the same battery draining (when camera off) problem as nahua below, on 6D. This is fairly worrying... anyone else having this problem? Devs?

I'd like to thank the developers, all this work is just awesome!  However I have problems with the battery consumption.  Even after my 5dmkIII is off, the LED still blinks from time to time and my camera stays warm.  Also, battery power goes down real fast.  I have to remove the battery if I'm leaving it alone for awhile.  Any ideas?

Cheers, and thanks again for the great work.

This is an overprocessed image, but I wanted to test it from Andrew Reid's 600D raw samples.
It's a 960x480, 240dpi resolution image. And when upscaled to 1920 horizontal resolution, it almost totally emulates the clarity of super 16 film!

Nice! When mentioned earlier, for some reason I thought that the 240dpi was too good to be true. Would love to see a comparison between 5D3 raw upscaled to 4K and 4K from BMC and 1D C respectively

Yeh that look weird..
Maybe a raw2cr2 is possible?
I don't have that much experience with Lighteroom, but do you have to set how many bit you're working with?

[AndreasK]

Be sure to shoot 1928 width to get the same FOV as when shooting stills. Just did a comparsion. With 1928 + cropleft 7 and cropright 1 you get the identical piture as with a CR2 still. H264 is cropped and scaled

I wonder, if we can implement some lossless bayer compression algorithm. Take a look at this paper:
http://www4.comp.polyu.edu.hk/~cslzhang/paper/RTI_05_Aug.pdf

It's pretty old (2005), and maybe something newer has been done from that time, but... 4-5 bits for pixel! From a 8bit source - that's 2x compression. And maybe 14bit will compress better, dunno.

REDCODE, Cineform, etc - also compress RAW bayer data (although lossy, but...)

Anyways - uncompressed RAW data is too much overbandwidth, so sooner or later some compression that can be handled by our little camera processors - should be done. And I will be patiently waiting for it.

>When mentioned earlier, for some reason I thought that the 240dpi was too good to be true

There is some confusion regarding dpi (ppi) in here. Resolution information does not matter at all when media is displayed on a monitor. On a monitor, the media will always display at the monitors resolution (ppi). The only thing that matters for size on a monitor is the medias dimensions (xy pixels) together with the ppi of the display unit.

Embedded resolution info is only used in print, to determine how many of those xy pixels should fit in one inch on paper.

[vipmask]

Why? As it can be solved?

[Yoshiyuki Blade]

I was messing around with the audio + video recording and had trouble syncing it up. After a quick search, I found that this was a general issue with ML's audio recorder ever since it was introduced, and that 1% investigated it for a bit. I wonder what's going on here. Even if I adjust the sample rate to some arbitrary value to sync it up perfectly, I don't think it'll guarantee sync at other parts of the clip. Testing the video frame rate with a stopwatch showed that it stays smooth and steady. Is there some kind of syncing process that happens in real time for normal recording? That might be why recording with audio on cost such a huge amount of overhead versus recording it separately lol.

[menoc]

Courtesy of James Miller. This is lovely!

The 5D3 Miller is using has the OLPF removed. Which gives the image an added boost in sharpness. The image is stunning!

Canon does something... seems to have been fixed with dma_memcpy which was taken out on 5dIII. It doesn't stretch anymore so much. Still a little shorter than video so I think you have to sync from one of the ends.

[Vegandelight]

I got pulled the last build. Doesnt compile anymore. Crap.


Edit: Redid it all, now its working again. May19th.

The Hack3D mode gave me the ability to shoot 1920x1280. But the cards seems to be so inconsistent, or do you change buffer size every time the shooting start? A1ex?

It goes from like not being able to shoot 1920x1080 for more than 1 second, to shooting 4gb worth of 1920x1280.

[rs555]

On my 5d2: when I run it at 1280x1080 it seems that the recording area (white rectangle) is not at the center position when an external monitor is attached via HDMI. Might just be a display problem...

We need to make sure and have a 60D thread when it's time. I am under the impression that the 60D will have the same power and bottlenecks as the 600D. Isn't this correct? Many people bought the 60D for the video at the time as it had the nicer build quality than the 550D and the articulating screen.

[mageye]

How long are you able to record for in 1080?

I wasn't able to record in 1080 (I wish! maybe one day  )

1880x840

I rendered out the video 1:1 but in a 1920x1080 frame.

Even though I would obviously prefer 1920x1080 I like what I have at the moment the RAW makes so much difference. I love it!

Thanks again ML!

[zachnfine]

Is anyone else finding that their 5D3 goes to sleep in the middle of recording? I've formatted my 32Gb Lexar 1000x CF card as exFAT and enabled >4Gb recording, and the longest recording I've managed (at 1928x1080 raw) before the screen shuts down and the mirror locks back into place is 5,159,790,912 bytes (5.16Gb). Hitting the start/stop button wakes the camera back up, but it's as if it's doing a full boot from shutdown as far as Magic Lantern is concerned (I see the card speed test happen, and then I have to go re-enable the modules and configure raw and audio before recording).

I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe somehow ML is taking over to such an extent that the Camera OS doesn't know there's activity going on, so it goes to sleep? It happens every time.

It's amazing how quickly this hack is developing into a useful feature, btw.
