I posted my settings about 10 posts up. Quality is the same. Not sure why it lags, maybe you have something else on?

Next trick will be turn off canon drawing.. Will see if this helps GD situation or if it still pinks up.

After that I need to figure out a way to free the blue memory when NR is off. 6D already has 255MB.. we can have a few more buffers for sure.

when i try to "Load modules now" my 600d just freezes
any solution here ,
or is there anything i'm doing wrong to start raw on my 600D ?

no one ?, i really want to test raw, but it doesn't seems to work for me

Make sure MODULES folder is inside ML folder

This was my problem first,  but even with the. Modules folder Insider ML Folder, my. Eos 600D freezes

I've tested CanonPreGdoff + Fileplay.zip and of the 3 clips I shot, one was corrupted (first one) and the other two had NO magenta frames. I shot about 1400 frames and they were all OK! This is great!

Resolution 1024x448 24fps
Canon 1080p 24fps mode
Hacked mode off and everything else off

Hey there, sorry for the noob question but is it possible to shoot at least 6-7 seconds in 720p without upscaling and without magenta frames?

Bin must match modules and you have to have magic.sym from the same zip as the autoexec.

Is 640x480 mode supposed to be better for RAW video? If it's better for performance is it still worse in resolution?

I seem to get more frames and less magneta.

640x480, 1080P both modes are all the same raw input. Just 30fps needs to be overridden.

Crop is slightly different raw, zoom is bigger raw. 720p is squished raw.

You can use any mode you want, with GD off shouldn't get any pink frames.

I still get pink frames with GD off in resolutions about 1280w. Setting the camera to 640x480 mode with seemed to fix it though.

With those resolutions i think i will quit trying to get Raw videos, i think i prefer the h264 with some amazing lens and filters and then a "perfect" cc. 10bits Would be enough for us and probably we would able to record 1280*720p with no problems.

That is exactly the situation with my camera (at 1920x1080x25p)

Next will have canon drawing off. maybe it helps. Just have to make it.

Hi 1%,

Thanks for all your efforts and great work.
Last build is working ok for me with picture quality in sraw in ml menu, and canon menu in 640x480 25p pal.
I can do 768x432@35p, 960x544@24p, 1344x768@12p, 1664x944@8p all using fps override and global draw "auto off when recording" with canon lv preview
No skip frames, no magenta/pink frames.

Please, remember to set the canon as the default option for lv monitoring in raw menu, it is working flawless with the settings above.

Keep rocking!

The latest build seem to have fixed the pink frames when the resolution was switched from 640x480 to 1920x1080 (on Canon's menu).

I thought I did. maybe it got reset. I'll apply commits and try to move the indicators around.

adding 23,976 to be one of the exact fps options inside the fps override feature was great idea.

what about to add:

5,994
7,992
11,988
14,985
29,97
35,964
47,952
59,94

these would be great also to use with raw video in 600d, because different resolutions needs different fps to keep under 21MB/s and using multiples of 23,976 is great for NTSC TV compatibility

I think in terms of stability and reliability you can consider your job done, of course improvements can always happens, but things are already working ok now. I cannot get the first shoot without magenta frames when canon menu is in 1920x1080, but who cares? we all know we need to set canon menu to 640 x 480 25p, picture quality to sraw and reboot camera, these settings solves everything, no skip frames, no magenta frames when keeping fps and resolution combo under 21MB/s.

Go on focusing the job on the overlay (indicators) position as you said, and if you can enable the fps list above in the exact fps override menu it will be great also.

thanks

This is just to celebrate my post number 100. Now I am a Member. Thanks!

Yesterday everything was fine.
Today shooting 960x544... lots of magenta frames... corrupted files... card error had to format card and lost lots of footage...
I'm sad... :(

And the auto exposure thing is still there... is there a way I can "lock" it?

Why I love shooting RAW video:




alephone

With this new build I am shooting continuous 960x544 with zero magenta frames. The videos even seem more smooth and look amazing after processing through AE.  Thanks for all the hard work you are putting in on all of this. I know there is the 21mb hardware limitations and all but things seem to be getting better with every build. 

*edit- just wanted to add that my speed stays steady between 21.5-21.8 on 960x544

HorrorLand

Does tethered shooting bypass the 21mb/s limitation?

Or are the transfer rates too slow?

apefos

inside the fps override function, there are some sub-menus (low light, exact fps, ...) maybe would be good idea to put these new fps inside a new category: "ntsc fps". I calculated them to be multiples and submultiples of 23,976 and 29,97, (values below can be turned into these by multiply by an interger, good to fps conversion) (values above divide by 2 or 1,5 good for slow motion)

0,999
1,998
2,997
3,996
4,995
5,994
7,992
11,988
14,985
23,976
29,97
35,964
44,955
47,952
59,94

You can make all of those already with the timers... ever find g3gg0s timing calculator?

Honestly I see no diff between 23.976 and 24... its still seems like 24 individual frames. I thought it would give me more shutter range but on 6D it didn't.

Quotecard error had to format card and lost lots of footage...

6D ate a card... I had to RMA it. I think the SD memory cells only have a certain amount of writes. Its being turned up to 11. 600D actually haven't had these issues but I have all UHS cards. Will see if it pops up.

AE is alredy off at record, something else must be changing expo. Have to find out what. ACR or camera.
