5D2 RAW video Builds 14-Bit

[Clemens]

Vesuvio? Nice place 

[Doyle4]

thanks for your reply! i was referring to the first benchmark result from *al*, who used the same build (27-jun) and the same card. but his results have been achieved in "playback" mode, which i cannot activate while running the tests - at least i don't know, how :-)
also, this build has the "small hacks" option and i can enable that - but the performace stays low :-/

When i do a bench mark test ill be honest and say im not sure either how to get it photo mode, tried all sorts, iv managed to get it into playback mode and movie but not photo yet :/ if some one can share with us how that be great.

Also you results may be slow due to not having raw video settings correct, again i dont know the right settings but mine are as follows..

Jpeg small (no raw function at all)
LCD brightness - Manual
Highlight tone priority - off
Auto lighting optimizer - off
Global Draw - off
Small Hacks - on
Card Warm Up - 128mb

Update to latest build, enable hacks, enable card warm up with 128mb write and try again dude.

i can´t get more than 64,8mb/s with my komputerbay 1000x udma7 128gb card.
GD off. Small hacks on. ect.

[jplsfx]

set up at 1872x1012 
ratio 1:85   
24fps   
Global draw off
small Hack on
LV mode movie
warmup    128mo

and tell us.

On my side when my test go over 4Go and it create a second file xxxx00.RAR, when I uncompress it , all the sequence is noisy pink, all bad ... on different format ...
normal guyz
raw2dng version

I will receive my 32gb komputerbay in the next days (*FINALLY*), I'll let you know.

Goooooodmorning raw people, my first test! 2013-06-27 build

Unfortunately at the moment I can't afford a fast card, I'm testing with a Lexar 200x

GD off, small hacks on, LV mode: Movie, 23,976 fps (no fps override)

A few thoughts:

I'm working with After Effects CS4 and Camera Raw 5.0 on Win XP SP3, I'm using raw2dng.exe version 2013/06/08, as a.d. said CS4 doesn't support recent dng files.
On my pc raw2dng will not extract the pictures in the folder where my files are located but I found them in C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\ (probably I'm missing something?)

Shots look very good, no vertical stripes, just some bad frames in my second 10x crop mode shot, and the moon shaking in my last one, however I was reading that 10x is not working at the moment...

A new life has begun, things are improving very quickly, thank you so much guys!!!

There is no 10x crop mode. Only 3x crop mode triggered via 5X magnify button. The 10x magnify will still give you 3X crop mode.

[bnvm]

It appears that crop mode has maximum vertical resolution of 1076, any reason why that is?

Uh?!? Thanks, didn't notice that... need to update my video ^_^

Just a question: when I shoot at 3x the frame rate (displayed in the top right corner of the LV) automatically changes from 23,976 to 29,667... why? Is this the reason why I have to use fps override?

@Clemens: yes, Vesuvio

yes.. that's right... and its good to have fps override ON so you get same frame rate all the time!

[dariSSight#1]

At first few frames the EXPECTED frames would say CONTINUOUS OK but after several thousand frames it would change to a much lower number. You have to see if,

1. It would stop when card capacity is reached.
or
2. It would change and stop before reaching card capacity.

I was misled during a couple of my tests when I immediately saw, CONTINUOUS OK then i stopped recording, when on my subsequent tests it would significantly lower.

I have ran 1872 x 1012 several times and it never would fill up my card.

This is with GD=ON, preview=Auto, since in production scenario you need them to be ON.

GD=off, preview=hacked makes no difference in 27 and 29 build.

Hello Ted,
Hope everything is good for you, I was ordering the method behind Card Warm Up function and what's your theory of when and why us the 3x crop when for closer subject its a distance challenge. But I love it no matter what, I will use it for far wide shots and maybe micro subjects.

i can´t get more than 64,8mb/s with my komputerbay 1000x udma7 128gb card.
GD off. Small hacks on. ect.

Mine varies from 73MB/s to 76.4MB/s
Komputerbay 1000x 32gb

[lagunak47]

where did the audio recording go off to?
also i really wish you guys could bring back the resolution selection of when this first came out. I was shooting anamorphic and a resolution between 4:3 and 1:1 would be great 4:3 gives me 2.66:1 and 11 gives me 16:9 on the old version you didnt have to select an aspect ratio, you could just select width and height. Great work though, cant wait to see how far this will go! Been using magic lantern ever since i bought my first canon (t2i) back in 2010.

[dima510]

I believe you benchmark in playback mode by starting the test with the live view off. Don't worry about doing that because testing in playback mode gives invalid results anyways. It is benchmarking the performance of the camera to playback a recorded movie not the speed of recording a raw movie which is always slower. I am not sure what the proper settings are for doing a benchmark but I believe it should be either photo or movie mode.

thanks!

ML has change the Game, where from professional videographer to Cinematographers if you have a limited budget but good technique you can achieve very film industry professional end results. You were saying you could get anamorphic 2.66:1 out of 4:3 and anamorphic 16:9 out of 1:1 frame recording, but aren't you cropping out image anyway as ML does now in format selection? I do wish they could put description icon or writing to explain different in aspect ratio for example 2.35:1 or 2.39.1 Cinescope setting and 16:9 or 1.85:1 HDTV setting ect. Please correct me where I maybe make an error in characterization recent anamorphic 2.35:1 or 2.39.1 may be called super 35.

Komputerbay 1000x 32gb

ok - than my low mb/s is caused by my 128gb komputerbay card...
with your exact same settings i can´t get more than 65mb/s

here is my screenshot:

no green text!

Iv read onthe web that the best Komputerbay card is the 64GB one, the rest are not as fast, not sure why but all over amazon people are saying 64GB if using ML.

[bronson]

I'm around 65-70mbs with my transcend 32gb 1000x...
With window's benchmark it's around 95-100 mbs.

At work we bought an 1DC with a 64gb 1000x Hoodman steel (350$), so i made a small bench...
I write 74mbs continuously

Im getting around 70 - 71mb with my transcend 32gb 1000x, cant continuos 1880 though still BUT its much better than i was when i was using a 60mb write max card

[Doyle4]

Has the 4gb Split been taken away? im complaining at all! just i got a raw file on my card over 4gb n its not split sweet

[ted ramasola]

how big is your file?

[Doyle4]

was 4.8gb 

[ted ramasola]

it was probably just  4,294,967,295 bytes.  5D2 is still split files as of jun 29 nb.

[Doyle4]

Ahhhh that makes sense! would be nice if Canon allowed ExFat on the mkii

[Bradley]

Sandisk Extreme 60 MB/s 400x 64GB card.
I can do a little less than 55MB/s in raw video mode.

I don't know how you guys got that screen shot of your results, so here is the text from the bench.log file
