Hi guys,
I have a 7D since 2010 and I'm new to Magic Lantern.
A week ago I dicovered this wonderful community/forum and decided to install ML on my 7D. Since then, I have been following this thread every day, trying to do RAW video with my 7D.
I was having all the problems like the freezing live view and the 600px limit.
But, as I have a little experience in programming, I decided to clone pelican's version and take a shot at modding and compiling it by myself. Took some time to make it work, and I used britom's discovery of changing the line "uint32_t edmac_write_chan = 0x11;" to "uint32_t edmac_write_chan = 0x04;" on the edmac-memcpy.c file.
Compiled, copied to my card, and VOILA, had some surprises:
- My liveview does not freeze anymore
- The captured frames are not glitched/corrupted, I tested many times, all ok
- Now I can record more than 600px vertical resolutions without errors in the image!
- Maximum res I recorded continuosly was 1472x828
- Maximum res I recorded not continuosly was 1728x972
- Using crop mode, I can record (not in silent picture, raw_rec!) around 200 - 300 frames in 2.5k, without glitches and frame corruption beyond the 600px limit, no problem at all!My card is a SANDISK Extreme 16gb 60mbps. Copied raw_rec module only, no other modules installed or running. Haven`t tried with other modules yet.
I wonder if I had a faster card I could work all the way up to 1080p RAW continuosly with live view. That would be bliss.
Gonna try that this week, I have a friend that can lend me a 1000x card. I'll keep you informed.
Thank you all, you guys are amazing.
Sorry by my english.
Greetings from Brazil,
Nicko
