Hi All,
Long time listener, first time caller. Just wanted to report some of my findings with y'all, that have very likely been touched on in other threads, but just to let y'all know. I'm running the 8-20 nightly on my 7D, with pretty good results. @dpjpandone - I've yet to DL and run some test shots with your build, but going to try and see I can do so once things slow down at work and I'll be sure to report back.
I finally gave up on the hope of using the RAW module for paid work after I kept having sporadic test shots with occasional corrupted pink frames, and the vertical lines issue also cropped up here and there. I've read that it's fixable with a little bit of coding and post, but with our workflow, we need to shoot, and be ready to deliver the following day, so no bueno for me.
For me, the working setup thus far has been using MLV, 1724x968 @ 23.976. I run a lilliput 663 on my glidecam, with a nyrius aeries pro sending video wirelessly to a marshall directors monitor. I shot a :30 a few days ago with these settings and every shot that came off the card looked great.
RE the HDMI out - I experience a lot of tearing when not using "Force VGA" option, which is why I'm itching to try dpjpandone's build. FWIW, I've also disabled global draw for good measure, which from my last batch of test shots didn't seem to have an effect either way. (wasn't using peaking or anything fancy, just histo and all the standard info like ISO, SS, aperture, etc.)
For me, initially, I had a ton of pink frames via RAW when i was doing my first tests on my sandisk extreme CFs, while I was waiting for my new card to arrive. I opted for this one, and have no complaints or issues thus far:

Lastly, wanted to give a big "Thank you" to all the devs that have made this possible. I have been hating my canons for the last year or so, and couldn't wait to upgrade to something better. With Magic Lantern I feel like I've got a whole new camera now. Really top-notch, and really appreciate all of you!
