INSTALLATION
To record RAW video you need a SD CARD that writes at least 40MBS (that's megaBYTES per second, not megaBITS). I recommend the Sandisk 95MBS card. Due to the camera buffer and other issues, it will never write faster than 40MBS.
I have put together a package of all the files I currently use (at my risk, would be your risk!). A late ML build, the EOScard utility (please consider donating at
http://pel.hu/eoscard/), various software utilities and CODECs. Sorry I can't provide a lot of personalized assistance. Reading these threads, and looking through these folders, should get you up and running. Sorry, no MAC stuff in there yet, though someone is working on it.

INSTALL ML (1% Build)
1. Format card in camera (will put on DCIM and MISC folders)
2. Get latest EOS-M install. Currently:
http://ml.bot-fly.com/ (Thanks Jerrykil)
3. Copy this to a folder on your computer, and decompress (that way you can go back to the build if later it appears more stable)
4. Copy everything from the ZIP file (ML folder, autoexec.bin and EOSM_202.fir) unto the memory card.
5. Run EOScard utility, or Mac utility, and make card bootable. Forthe EOScard program, just click on the ML icon in the lower right, then click "save".
6. Camera in 'M' mode, last wrench, update firmware
7. When you have success shut down, re-start camera.
STEPS TO REMOVE ML FROM EOS-M
MAKE SURE MANUAL MODE ON...
1. Turn camera on in Photo mode (middle button top dial)
2. Press "Mode" box on touch screen, top, left
3. Press wheel left until you get to 'M' box (manual)
4. MENU, then First Wrench, then Format Card
Don't tap screen to format card (keeping ML). Select and press OK
5. Goto last wrench, Update Firmware, pick latest version, SET (now that card's been formatted, it has no ML so camera will see nothing, and look to revert to factory boot)
6. GREEN ML screen should come up about BOOKDISK flag
7. Rotate dial to Movie mode
8. WHITE ML screen will now say "BOOTDISK flag is DISABLED"
9. Turn Camera Off
10. Format card in computer.
11. Format card in camera.
EOS-M SHOULD BE AS IT CAME FROM FACTORY
Other issues
o. Shutter-bug Issue
Camera may stop working; taking photos. There are two workarounds: 1.) Power up, rotate lens to break connection with camera and rotate back. 2.) Power on the camera then power it back off and then back on before the SD light flashes. You get about a second, maybe two to do this.
Keep In Mind
o. When taking out the memory card, watch that your other hand, holding the camera, isn't hitting the power on/off switch. Possible corruption issues if you remove/insert card during power on/off cycle.
o. The camera won't go into "Crop Mode" unless the top dial in on Movie mode!
