5D2 RAW video Builds 14-Bit

[andrus]

Andrus,

I just rechecked my files and I do believe it does since the +4gig plus feature was implemented starting with May 21 build for raw2dng.

So jun 8 should be ok, what you should check for instead is vertical banding/noise. I think a1ex and others were tweaking the raw2dng to fix it.

Ok Ted, I'll check that in the next few days

I am getting corruption on all frames if I record in 1880x940 until card is full.



Joined RAW files through Terminal and processed with GUI Raw2Dng 0.13 in OSX.

Short clips are fine though. Is this normal? Should I just stop the recording manually before card is full next time?

That black bar is on all frames? Seems like skip is wrong.

Anybody with Komputerbay 64GB can confirm the speed improvements?
I remember that in one build, the developers fixed something about Komputerbay cards..


Thing is when everybody got 350frames at 1880, 16/9, i was getting about 380 frames..
For me, the new build is at staying at 350frames (with small jpeg as picture size, manual lcd brightness, fps override 24)

Could it be a software related issue? Or just a slow card

did you turn on small hacks?

[mihaii]

the  "small hacks" is setting the file type / size as jpeg small?
in the preview i set "hacked"

no no no. "small hacks" is a new option in the raw settings

enable it and test again…

[mihaii]

stupid / blind me

found the option.. 75MB/sec

guys, i'm gonna contribute, you really deserve it

please post some numbers for the komputerbay 1000
especially for the close-to-1920x1080 sizes

thanks

For 5D2 users looking at how the 30P recording has improved with jun 27 "small hacks" build.

Resolutions    # of frames @30P
1872 x 1054   237
1872 x 1012   312
1872 x 936    460
1872 x 850    770
1856 x 1044   287
1856 x 928    489
1728 x 972    650
1728 x 864    3338
1472 x 1104   701
1472 x 828    continuous
1600 x 900    continuous
   
Crop mode 3x   
2144 x 1076   132
2144 x 1072   158
2144 x 974    213
1920 x 1076   235
1856 x 1044   294
1728 x 972    476
1600 x 900    continuous
1472 x 828    continuous

The highest res for continuous recording has indeed increased. Previous NB it was only at 1472x828 Now its at 1600x900.

getting 66mb/s with manual LCD brightness.
64mb/s with LCD brightness set to auto.
about a 2mb/s boost.

so how close are we to shooting 1920x817(1:2.35) or 1920x803(1:2:39)?

1920 width is technically not possible with 5D2. Thats according to A1ex when he looked at actual res beoing pulled out of the 5d2 sensor.

This he has mentioned "several" times already.

1920 is possible with crop modes only, I can record 2048 at 1:2.35 continuous with my 5D2.

[ted ramasola]

that is correct. at 1:1 pixel in 3X crop mode. In fact the max for 5D2 is at 2144x1076 crop mode.

What some are asking is the 1x mode from the entire sensor readout. Max width "for now" is at 1872 (a1ex vanilla=more frames) 1880 (a.d. version)

Understood, but I don't see any reference to 1X recording in the post above just if it was possible. Just clarifying that is is possible and how. Thanks.

I tried to read through the threads but I can't find what 'Small hacks' actually is. Can someone explain this before turning it on? Thanks.

If you scroll down to it in the ML menu it will give a tool tip telling what it does. I don't recall exactly but it disables some automatic features, and slows down the refresh rate of the live view, etc... Something along those lines, it basically just disables some features that are not necessary to gain a little speed.

yeah my bad, realized that 1920x1080p was being upscaled.

Yet more advances? You guys make me feel good.

1.85:1 is not far off continuous @1872  it seems. I had a momentary issue with write speed data display and performance dropping to under half of my normal numbers. Ignore the essay below if this isn't unheard of.

After doing these tests I put the card in my reader (Kingston FCR HS3) and used RAWanizer 0.5.5 to view the frame count on my tests. I put the card back in the camera without moving or wiping the files and began testing ratios. Started with 1.85:1 and figured I would be close to continuous with that. As soon as I hit record, the buffer filled and I dropped a frame. Went to RAW settings and the write speed was showing yellow 31.3MB/s. Flicked through the ratios and they were all crippled this way. Tried recording at 2.35:1 and that seemed to run as usual, went back to RAW settings and after scrolling through the ratios, the write speed data was showing 74.4MB/s.

1872x1052 - 1311frames / 1515 frames / 1427 frames
before this build I was having about 380 frames

I propose the "small hacks" to be renamed in "BIG HACKS"

Better yet, they should just include it within the code and ON at default and should not even be an option to be ON or OFF.

[krummi]

DR and heavy grade test on Jun26 build. NOT a test for overall IQ but just seeing how much you can pull back in extreme conditions. Pretty impressive how much it holds on to in the highlights.

[gnarr]

I can do 76MBps on my Computerbay 1000x 64GB with the 27th of june build, 1.85:1 at 1880x1016@23.976fps.

Best to have it as an options as the Small Hack slows down Canons GUI
