API version mismatch is corrupted file (or worse, corrupted memory in the camera). I did not experience this, on what camera are you having trouble, and what changeset? (look in help menu)

Looks good. What frame size did you shoot this at?

1880x720 upscaled to 1920 and cropped to 720 for 2.67 aspect ratio.

Using Build May16 for 5d2.

1. actions: load module/set resolution/select start raw rec- lcd indicates ready to start recording.
   I press magnify button to aid in focus-image on lcd enlarges. I press again to go back to normal view.
   I press LV button to start raw capture. press it again to stop.
   I repeat the process but this time when I press magnify button to focus, the image in lcd is pinkish/magenta.
   This is repeatable.

2. In raw recording after I press LV to start and stop. -How do I turn off LCD live view since the LV button is always
    set to start Raw   record?
    I tried to go to ML menu- Unload Module- but still LV button is programmed to start raw record and not turn off liveview?

I got the same error when I hit the magnification button in Live View when I tried to record with the raw_mode (goes magenta) and my camera even threw an error (locked). I had to turn off, pull battery and turn back on again after. If I don't do the magnification in live-view it seems to record and work ok though.

@A1ex:

I am using a 5D MKII. I have the most recent stable ML version installed, and installed the updated AUTOEXEC.BIN and ML folders from the nightly build. If it makes any difference (and I know this is not a top notch card anymore) I am using a Sandisk Extreme IV CF card (45MB/s) 8GB size. My battery is currently charging for the camera (drained it), but I will check the help menu as you mentioned when I can turn the camera on to let you know what it says in the changeset. The only other thing I did was add the module for the RAW_REC someone provided for the MKII.

**Correction, I went back to an older version per recommendation (the 5/16/2013 version of the RAW/DNG converter does not play well with the latest build?). The info below is from this, and seems to work ok. I am thinking possibly an error with something in the newest build and the converter?

Notes from the current (on camera) info:

Just booted the 5d (MK II) back up:

ML Version: v2.3.NEXT.2013MAY14.5D2212

Hope that helps

I used last night's build, and then spent the whole morning carefully shooting lovely RAW vs. H264 comparison footage. I also got the pink screen during magnification, but it wasn't a big deal.

What WAS a big deal was once I got the footage home, and raw2dng gave me the "ain't lv_rec" error on all the files recorded at 1888x720 (I had one file at 1280x720 which did work).

If all that's missing from the files is a snippet of code, is there a way to manually append it? Or, better yet, some kind of patch that can be run? I was quite pleased with the footage, and if there's a way to use it, I'd greatly appreciate hearing about it.

Hey Gang,

5d2+Lexar 1000x user. 

I accidentally had my shutter down to 40 in the canon menu.  All the files recorded at 40 did not opened in the MAC converter.  I went back to 50 shutter speed and everything seemed fine.

I'll try to do some test at different shutter speeds tonight.  Had anyone else experienced this?

I am almost exclusively shooting 1880x720 for no now.

you could always switch off LV. I've already describe above (no 5)

Loaded, tested, it Works ! Thank you a.d.

[Dunc101]

Has anyone noticed you can record h264 video while recording RAW?

that is very cool as you can do an exact comparison.

Also when zooming 5 x has anyone pink haze over LV?

Cheers
Duncan

Just some quick performance tests using this new build using KomputerBay 32gb 1000x with Global Draw off.

1880x840 shoots indefinitely
1880x960 gets up to 648 frames before dropping
1880x1080 gets up to 208 frames before dropping

It would be nice to automatically toggle/disable global draw upon recording. Then you could set all of your levels etc and when you hit record have maximum performance.

Hey guys,

Kind of lost here with everything that is going on.  But where is the latest modules/build for the 5d2?

thanks!

[di2010]

Hi guys,

Would someone please provide a current compiled Version of the RAW enabled ML?

Thanks a lot in advance,


Alex

Thanks olik, should've read that...

I tried it, and it seems to be letting me record without dropping frames on 1880x840.... only problem is that I can't unlock the files using raw2dng for mac.  Not even 2 second RAW files.

I got this error
Error: API version mismatch: -2147483629

and this one when I went down to 1880x720
Error: This ain't a lv_rec RAW file

[JackDaniel412]

I got this error
Error: API version mismatch: -2147483629

I have the same problem...

[JackDaniel412]

1880x786 (2.39) resolution works without frame skipping! CF SanDisk Extreme Pro 16 GB 90 MB/s!

[andyshon]

Getting the same errors as above, API mismatch or not lv_rec, from most clips. But some convert fine. 5D2 files at 1880x720, trying the conversion on Mac and Windows with about 30% success.

[andyshon]

Make that about 10% success. Of the files that did convert to DNG, only four actually opened in AE, and one of these was bright green. So three out of thirty, so far...

Shame, it was a pretty sunset. Hope there's something salvageable in those files.

My First Video Attempt with the 5D 14-Bit Raw :

1880 x 540 resolution scaled up to match 1920 width. The Bad compression is sadly all YouTube, but it does look a little better when you at least watch it at the full 1080P Resolution on there. Enjoy,

Thanks @a.d., great improvements here! just run two quick tests, first 317 frames 1880x720 (on same 60 mb/s as you have), second time I hit record it did 435 frames but RAW2DNG was again not able to read the file... I wander what this can be caused by, also the inconsistency of number of frames until it starts dropping, could the camera at times be 'busy' with other stuff?

Amazing work guys! Crossing fingers and hunting bugs, hoping that could help.

My first test - used 8 fps 2048x960 which gave me the bitrate of little under 30MB/s wihch is the  maximum of my card. Need to get a faster one soon! Amazing detail - shot at 5X with 100mm. I think that the magenta at the end is from uncomplete write (frame), so the frame skipping should be checked - it happens more often when I get closer to 30MB/s and almost disapear when I get under 20MB/s.
