Magenta lines in 3X mode

[deletedAcc.0021]

Filmed a short video on a local beach today and used the 3X zoom function on several shots.  Normal day of filming, no issues using the latest nightly build ... until I got home to edit the footage.

Downloaded all the footage from the camera and proceeded to log the footage.  Mostly uneventful until I noticed that on all the shots that were zoomed in 3X, I had a magenta bar across the bottom of the monitor.  Approximately 2 mm thick and the full width of the video right at the bottom.

So I grabbed the camera and filmed several more short clips trying to duplicate the problem, and sure enough, all zoomed in footage displayed a magenta colored bar across the bottom.

I figured it must be a bad setting or glitch, so I started turning off features one by one and testing the footage.  No help, still had the magenta bar.  I even used a card without ML and used the zoom function from the canon menu.  Same problem.

Grabbed my second 600D and tried it ... same problem.

Then my kid ask why I was using Windows media player for .MOV files ..... guess what, they all play perfectly fine using QT or VLC. 

I was so close to posting screen shots on the forum for the devs to look into this ...... moral of the story ..... Try everything else before blaming ML.

I've seen this on some 50D footage too.. I just croped it out.

I think this was just an issue with Windows Media player.  It wasn't on the footage.  When I played it with QT or VLC it played fine. Also, no sign of it in Adobe Premiere.

I think mine was just a codec issue with WMP.

Update: I just exported some footage from Premiere Pro, the exported .MP4 plays fine in WMP.
