7D Raw Thread

I love the 9.29 build... better looking menu, recording is more smooth... no longer need to manual turn on FPS by updating the firmware... sweet!
Thank you... now I need to go out and shoot something

The latest mlv2dng does merge them... I do it all the time!!!

UPDATE: actually I don't think it'd merge them in the end (maybe in the background) but it can process those split files and generates DNGs

I use win version

I use win version

Strange, but using mlv2dng from this topic http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7802.0 gives me an error...

That's what I use too... I noticed that if I tried with a 'prefix', it crashed...so I ended up with 00000.dng file and so on... also, I read that once a while it crashes but if it'd work on the 2nd retry ...

[mityazabuben]

sorry, my mistake - it converts to dng all footage, process M00 and so on automatically.

I'm amazed by all the progress here! I got a question.. does the last 7D build work? I mean, can I record NORMAL h264 video out of it? Also, I'm really glad about all the bars facelift progress.. I saw a picture of 1% that he got it working pretty well.. is it there in that build? Is it up to date?

Thanks!

why would you want to do h264 video. wouldn't that be a step back

[britom]

Because is practical, you dont need a ultrafast card, you can record audio, and it's ok for small projects. Sadly is not fixed yet

Hopefully I can get the master to boot off the other repo with less updates. Then I can see what is happening to the registers/memory.

[mucher]

I tried a couple of times using h.264 with sound successfully, you only need to disable the rawrec module in the ML menu (grey it out), then  everything is just almost the same.

ya i get the whole practical thing. i still use it when i just want it i use a CF without ML and use canon default. its still great. but when u gotta have the footage where it matters then ML is where its at

[Natt4hack]

Hello folks. Its remarkable the work of you guys( like nobody ever said that..)
Well, I was one of the lucky ones install ML without problems..jazzzz!
But I noticed 2 things so far: first is the overheating. Jesus! this camera turned into a toaster or what??
second and most important: a bug! when trying to select a REC button on the ML menu, using the " half press button"
option, it didnt work. it went "bananas" and I got message from the software to inform you about it.
Thanks.

Which build?

Ciao
Walter

[Natt4hack]

Pardon my ignorance, but I dont know what build is it. I follow the instructions on the website:
7D firmware v1.1.0 http://pel.hu/down/eos7d110.exe (Thanks to Pelican)
(This is a firmware hack, it will not downgrade your camera)
booton.bsdiff: http://pel.hu/ML/booton.bsdiff
bspatch.exe: http://download.pokorra.de/coding/bsdiff_win_exe.zip
Latest version of EOScard http://pel.hu/down/EOScard.exe (Thanks to Pelican!)
(If EOScard fails, try v1.38 backed up here http://goo.gl/JX0BFS)

Now for my surprise I realize Raw video is not functioning at all. Camera seems to start recording,
but when finishes is freezes everything up! And sometimes the record button on the camera doesnt work either..
whats the problem? I use a Sandisk Extreme 60m/s 16 G.
thanks Walter. Ciao.

@1% I'll upload a sample of the distortion i was talking about when i get home. Also I'm wondering if you can enable FEATURE_SHUTTER_LOCK in your repo. I couldnt find something like it in the canon menu and I (maybe somebody else too) find it very useful as i'd prefer not to switch to tv.

@Natt4hack seems like you're still recording in h264 format (your camera freezes because the feature is broken for now). You need to enable raw video in the modules tab, and then enable it again in the movie tab.

[tonybeccar]

Thanks for your answers.. and regarding the H264 video.. as I shoot with the camera a lot.. it's impossible to shoot RAW everytime.. the H264 video is great, and by far is the most stable for now! Raw is for big projects only for me

And thanks 1% you are doing a terrific job!!

Cheers!

[britom]

h264 does the job and pays the bills... but i've been hating the clipped highlights/moire/softness/dead colors since 2009 so having the possibility to switch to raw video is just brutal!

No more, no less 

[Natt4hack]

Thanks Britom. I believe I enabled raw on modules and movie tab. I will triple check my settings.
Cheers.

Pls, clarify for me this basic - when we using RAW video, we dont apply any encoding in a color space and only when we postprocess footage, we choose in what color space it will be. Am I right? Thanks.
