50D Raw video

[v1rt]

That's odd. So you're saying that while you are in 5x zoom mode, if you enter the magic lantern menu, you don't see a grayed-out "1920x1072"? I'm probably stating the obvious here... but the 5x button isn't an on/off switch 1920 recording, it's a different video mode altogether.

The card you are using exceeds the bitrate required for 1920 recording. Perhaps 1% can comment?

It's good now. 1% helped me on how to get it triggered. I have actually posted just few minutes ago since I had a follow up question.

1072?  - should be 1080 if set width is 1920 (16:9)

Got it to work! However, what will be recorded as video? Is it still going to record the non-zoomed area? Btw, it stopped after 2 seconds. My 400x is so slow, LOL Really need to buy the 1000x cf cards.

Great to hear you got it working! Using a Toshiba 1066x Exceria Pro 64gb, i'm only getting about 10 seconds... Have you tried turning off global draw? If you haven't yet, that should give you a few more seconds.

Yup it's off. Are you saying that's impossible for our 50D to do a continous 1920x1080 raw recording atm?

[Andy600]

@nightvision04 - what build are you using?

I'm getting 15 secs of 25p (1080p) on a 600x transcend card.

That's correct.

I'll butt in here.
Which build should I use? Maybe you can specify a link. I'm using the latest GregoryofManhattan. I also read yesterday that there is a Huston. Not sure what it is.

Gregory's latest is up to date. I'm using 1%'s latest (own compile). Not sure if he's uploaded it anywhere???

BTW 1% - when you go into LV with the latest TL build I get black pillar boxes as if it's in 480p and need to hit the info button 2 or 3 times to get rid of them.

Maybe I can try his build. Do you know where I can download it?

I'm currently looking into buying a 50D.

Are there any 600x cards that can reliably do 1080 crop and full sensor modes (Preferably 16 or 32 GB)?

Transcend 600x 16gb is great for the money. Writes up to 74MB/s If you go for the 32gb get the 1000x (but don't get the 16gb 1000x. It's slower than the 600x)

Thanks a lot!

Thanks!
A lot of people here seem to love the Komputerbay 64GB 1000x. Is the 64GB 600x any good?

I dunno. I have the 64gb 1000x too

Yep, shrinks the LV to add some more .1 MB.

aha, I knew there had to be a reason for it

[v1rt]

That black screen happened to me too. I also had other errors.

Errors?

[v1rt]

Errors?

Yes, I'll try to recreate it again later and post it. Or maybe because my cf card ran out of space. I will have to redo it.

[1%]

Yea, what errors?

At 1080P I'm getting predicted 2K+ even 2500+ frames... then around 4900MB something happens, buffer fills an it stops early, writes get smaller and smaller. Writing at 80-81 1920x1038 is continuous without this issue.

Do you think our 50D will be able to record 1080raw without stops in the future?

[1%]

Maybe, the 1920x1038 is pretty damn close. I think I should graph it and see what is happening. Have to look for another way to increase speed too.

[albert-e]

That's correct.

Don't bet your life on it!

Agreed He was just asking if it was possible at the moment though.
