Not exactly on topic, but I'm trying to learn 50D movie recording using the old non-RAW (compressed 1080p) video hack, which produces MOV files. If anyone here did shoot video this style - what is your workflow? I have an external recorder (Zoom H1), so the workflow should include a way to demux MOV into h264, sync it with external WAV audio, and mux it into something like MKV or M2TS. Is there a tutorial somewhere which would explain every step? Also, may be there is a tutorial on shooting non-RAW video with 50D - what settings to use (like, picture profiles etc.) and how?
Finally - it is probably impossible, but perhaps there is a way to join compressed video produced by 50D (which is 1080/30p h264) with the output of my Canon HD camcorder, which produces 1080/60i h264 - without recoding? I think there are containers out there which allow video stream to switch frame rates, interlacing and non-interlacing, in the middle of the stream. May be MKV can do that? Which video tool would let me join non matching frame rate files? I tried a few (AVdemux, tsMuxerGUI etc.) but it doesn't work.
