I was reading the updated wiki (nice job btw) and found out "30 FPS in 1080p (Note if you change to NTSC format rather than PAL this is already available)." Is this true? I think you can't record @30 fps in both pal and ntsc, wanted to try the ntsc but as soon as I press record the camera freezes (there's already an issue on that).
other than that: I'm in love with new zebras, they're almost real-time! wave LCD trigger is also awesome
thanks

To fix the camera freezing you need to turn 'movie logging' OFF under the movie tab in ML :).

thanks, it works now. did two 1080p videos and only different thing is bitrate, slightly lower for NTSC.
deleted it from the wiki and added the thing with movie logging, I think people should see it

ah my bad
I was refering to the 5D which now has 30FPS
http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Lantern_Firmware_Wiki

Its ok to have a wishlist but you have to understand that if the 5D magic lantern, or the 550D magic lantern doesnt have it, we have almost 0% chance here. You can write that you hopes it makes you toast in the morning if you want... it wont really get done unless the above is true (ie all of the points bar one on there so far) unless we get a talented programmer who has a fetish for toast onboard ;)

Its also important to realise that if your video stops because your using a class 2 card, its not a bug its just a limitation of the hardware your using. Any problems with slow recording are probably because your card is not of a high enough spec. I have tried all qscale settings with a class 10 card and didnt notice any problems at all, not conclusive testing however.

Oh to filter out comments about 30 fps, what a glorious day that will be :)

Its very likely that changing framerates will be a very tough one to crack, but as you stated, the 550d and 5d magic lantern do have the ability to manually set shutterspeed/ISO etc, and as the 500d and the 550d hardware are so similar it should be possible. As stated earlier, its been confirmed by a member of canon staff that all of these things, including a higher frame rate at 1080p are possible, its a software lockout thats preventing this so far. And wasn't 24fps hacked on the 5d (which was originally 30fps only at 1080p with no manual video controls) prior to canons original video firmware upgrade?

I was pulling 60mbps yesterday with my class 6 8gb card at qscale-16. I wonder if the cbr 30mbps setting actually works? Still something buggy with guide events.. I don't like it. Im looking into that next.

Also we need to figure out something for the menu and fonts. The 550d has 1.09 million pixels on its screen and we only have like .97 or something, I forget the numbers but the 550d screen has a different resolution.

In short Coutts, no it doesnt (not from my testing anyway)
Anyone who wants 30F

Agreed.

@ Coutts, from my testing no the CBR 30MBPS setting doesnt seem to work here, but the other - numbers all seem to.
Incidentally I was doing more than 60 today at -16 qscale... going to have to get a bigger card me thinks (I have a Panasonic 16GB SDHC Class 10 ATM).

PS Anyone know if SDXC cards work with with the 500D?

I wish I shot more video. I've only done a couple videos in my life:
http://vimeo.com/user3451665/videos

I'm more interested in trap focus, and maybe having a setting to turn off exposure sim. in live view (i'm sure there's a prop setting we can find somewhere in the dump to implement this). Maybe for future builds, for Alex to look into for the 550d also, a file system explorer in the ML menu would be really neat. I know 5 years ago when I used chdk on a powershot sd1000, it had one.

but first, lets get this stable :)

in consts file,

Code: [Select]
#define GMT_FUNCTABLE 0xFF453E14
i just looked this up and it's not right for the 500d, need to fix this value and i think the button presses like half shutter should work.

- edit. nevermind, this is never used.
