well Coutts, youre working on it even on memorial day..
whow..

im not gonna complain huh !


i still have that issue about the menu that doesnt show up. i need to press trash+menu to make it pop up !
yup, that's fixed in the new version. the ML menu is accessed from within the canon menu now (i have no way to fake a menu press event like it's done in the 550d, so we just have to do it manually :) )

soon yes, I want to figure out all of this bit rate related stuff first though. it's semi-working but I still need to fix up bitrate.c a bit (and dryos.h).

and i still need to learn more about how it works, before I can fix it :P



The CBR stuff is kind of working - here's a test video I shot earlier of my diy air conditioner to try to cool my room down in my apartment :lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfbU-XyFREw#

1080p @ 20fps (fffuuuu)
CBR 2x
43.19mbps bit rate

can anyone notice any kind of quality difference? I can't tell if this actually helps at all.

Hard to say without any comparison video.
But on my 27" screen, the video looks good, it seems the dark tone fades are better. I mean there are less steps like Grey/DarkGrey/Black/DeepBlack. You can't see the edge of the color, it's smoother.  yaykx hard to explain..
Im really sorry, i can't speak english..
Know what i mean ?

lol Coutts that is awesome! I totally have a DIY air-conditioner/fan in my garage that looks just as ghetto if not more so. I have my copper tubing wrapping around my fan and then going into a icebox where my fish pump cycles the water. Stupid thing only helps by 1 or 2 degrees oddly enough. I guess that's what being in college is about hehe.

Looks very nice, was that using the Sigma lens in your signature?

I agree with you. Coutts' video contains less noticeable color banding/steps. Color gradation, especially the dark one,  *subjectively* looks smoother. :D

yes @ the sigma :)


so.. a small victory towards manual video controls. by blocking a couple events that seem to change the iso, I can now select my own value from the ML menu.. but as soon as I start recording and open the ML menu, the buffer fills up and the camera crashes with an err70.

but, small victory for now :)
