RAW and JPG writing module

[bronson]

Hi,

I'm totaly amazed by all the work done here for raw recording.
It's very remarquable and it's a great advance.

I wonder, if it might be possible, like 12 or 10 bits discussions, to simply write 8 bits Jpeg sequences directly to the card.
The render, also in 8bits, is far away better than the old h264 canon, and, in several cases, it will help a lot and save disk spaces.
With a flaat profile and ETTR, we could approach something cool in 1080p without several post-processings.

Files could be less than 2Mo and we could have a constant record @25fps (50mb/s)

The Jpeg S mode in 5d2 writes 2784x1856 without flickering for a 1-2.5 Mb per file.
We could reach 3K with nice shots.


Thanx for your opinions,
A great job is already done here...

So is it possible to grab the jpeg S mode @24 or @25fps ?
Or the jpg compression is too heavy at this rate for the cpu ?

Is it so hard to read the forum rules?

Sorry for the bump if i broke the rules for that.
Or for my stupid request
