50D Raw video

[Roman]

Perhaps the difference is that it turns global draw on or off when you've plugged in the monitor?

If I have HDMI plugged in and global draw off, I get 50mbs

If I unplug HDMI, I get 54-55

If I turn global draw on, I'm banging on 60-61.

Guy's I don't know I'm getting upwards of 63 - 64mb/s on my Komputerbay 64gb 1000X card

Although my card (Transcend 16Gb 1000x) performs pretty similar in the benchmark i get ~47 MB/s while Recording RAW. I dont get this. I tested soo many settings and none of them are leading to any performance increase

Wanna see something odd?

When shooting 1592x896 @ 25fps I get 59mb/s pretty constantly with my Komputerbay 64gb 1000X card

Global draw on, HDMI unplugged.

It's rated faster than mine, maybe you have something still turned on in one of the menus?

mmm!!!!.......I guess it is all related on how lucky you are to get right CF card from Komputerbay

I'm getting the same results and @ times even higher..  I think it's all about the settings & in camera formatting plays a big part of it also.

To tell you the truth don't think it's the card, cause those cards are capable of handling way more write speeds than 60mb/s it should be no problem for those cards.  Have to set your camera the right way as far as settings goes.

regarding issues i'm having getting my komputerbay card to read on my mac:

Hello,
 
The card is possibly corrupted.
 
From what we know the 50D is limited to FAT32 but your Mac is not. (your Mac possibly tried to read the card as exFAT instead of FAT32 seeing that it is a 64GB card - lot of customers have done this.)
 
It can be uncorrupted using a PC using SD Formatter's free software to format the cards. The Mac version has some bugs and as such we donot recommend it.
 
Also - we do not know if the bower USB2.0 CF Reader #CRCF is compatibnle with UDMA 7 cards.
 
Have you tried any formatting apps on your Mac?
 
Thank You
Tech Support

Did you also go to the camera menu and select/enable Raw recording?  The default is OFF.  After loading the module you have to further turn on Raw in the other menu.

Yes I enabled it nad it shows that it's on. Could tell me how do you record it? Maybe, I'm doing something wrong.

Once the raw video mode is enabled, you can close out of the window and press the live view button. Then press it again to start recording, press it again to stop.

It works, thank you! Jesus, I feel so ashamed...

Here's a video I shot yesterday, walking about my neighborhood - https://vimeo.com/67793246 - I used Lightroom for most of the grade, in that I exported a few presets into ACR and then used ACR.

Nice film look! Now get some stabilizer By the way I'm sorry, I had plans to join developing, but things changed a little here so I have little time

I know, I know

Just got my 50d with grip. I've been trying with some Sandisk Extreme IV 4GB card. On full res I get 98frames with global dram off and 109 frames with global draw on. Around 300-400 on 720p.

Zoom mode looks pretty bad, but I think that's the cameras limitation.
Has onyone tried out a 600x Komputerbay card? If anyone has and gets continuos rec on 1:1 I will go for that one.

Thanks to all of you who made this possible, I'm having a lot of fun!

I like this a lot.
Nice work!

I have one on its way. Will report back.

Very nice video like the look a lot..

By the way I could get my hands on the new STM 18-55 IS lens. (for just 60 euro) It's actually really nice for filming. It's really sharp for a zoom lens and the  manual focus is really smooth. I have some extra m42 mount lenses to get a shalow dof when needed, but they lack real wide angle and IS.

So I did a semi bold move on my part yesterday. I traded my 60D which is my main camera for a 50D and $250 cash. I think it was the right move. I just still can't get over the fact that I downgraded(kind of) my camera for the first time in my life. I pray this hack keeps on growing

I think the highest I've achieved is ~67mb/s. I could be mistaken but that was in the 3:2 aspect ratio.

You did the right thing probably the sd controller in the sd card cameras seems pretty limited. Don't think there is a way to overcome this. So for raw video, the 50D should have a big advantage (like it has right now).
