Tried NoWait, the problem is much worse.  Using 1 s interval, sometimes the pauses are up to 20 s long.  The results are random.  Using 3 s interval it is a little better, still sometimes 10 s.  Using 10 s interval, it is barely noticeable, but still sometimes takes up to 15 s.  Instead of looking at the actual results I've learned to read the red light on the camera, after taking 10,000 shots in 20 different locations.  Sometimes it works, but usually not!  

This issue is making matters worse: The display turns off randomly between intervals, when set to sleep.  Am I on to something?  This may be related?  But the problem still exists in either mode.

Alex, if this is the bug you have already fixed I will try the newest build again.  It didn't seem to make a difference the last time I tested it.

Edit: Tried it in Shutter mode, the problem is still there, but not as bad or as obvious.  Since you would never use 1 s for long anyway, it appears to be perfect, but that is just an illusion if you investigate further.  PS- I may be on to another hint for the battery problem.  It appears to get warm consistently whenever you take out the card, even when the switch is off?  If this is the case the problem could occur at any time during a shoot, whenever the card is out.

I've been going through the dump all day, I decided to look around for some more things related to fps and manual video controls, just for the hell of it.

I think i stumbled on the property for video size :)

this output from the decompiler was interesting looking:

then Alex pointed out that this looked similar to how the property was called in the 550d for video resolution. So I put in a prop_handler for 0x2050010 and it looks like it might be it!!

now to see if we can change this property ;)

Will keep fingers crossed for Coutts that fps and manual video controls will finally work as well as video size...that would be simply amazing...  :)

Hopefully a build will be made if it is :) It's been a little while since the last one.

something interesting, i was going through the dump some more and found a function that printed information about free memory, here's where the 500d stands, I'm curious how the 60d and 550d are. I'll have Alex try it out tomorrow.

location: 0xFF1DE0D8


from dmlog:
Code: [Select]
[FAC] GetFreeSizeOfMemory Free[3534280]
[FAC] GetTotalSizeOfMemory [10485760]
[FAC] GetSizeOfMaxRegion [3329964]
[FAC] GetNumberOfAllocatedBlock [5230]

Soo exaclty 10mb of memory with 3mb free still????

Thats because theres been no real progress on anything, nothing else is really fixed at this point so little point in releasing one until it is.
Having said that though have a look at this (sorry about the photo, its from my phone)....
Alex`s new coloured menu, with icons ported
(You can also see the help messages at the bottom of the screen that I ported recently)

Interestingly the icons (which change when you change the settings incidentally) show where some of the problems lie, ie property values that havent been found, ie you cant turn some things off.
Ive also ported some of alex`s recent fixes (another intervalometer one).
PS Porting is pretty easy in comparison to actually understanding how everything works, and writing it, all thanks go to Alex.

Try porting debug.c from the early alpha stages to recent 550d builds,  tel me how easy that is ;)

Im curious what other properties reside in 0x20500xx range.
