Are you comparing one of the very first implementations of raw_rec with a recent mlv_rec? You mentioned some other issues; if they are still present, report them as bugs.

Hint: this feature is not just "a strange black and white zoom"



BTW, why did you choose to discard the old raw capabilities thread and start a new one? Most of the info from there is still valid (somebody may want to update some fields in the chart). Of course, if you can find something easier to update, feel free to do so, but don't throw away useful info just because it was written in 2013.

While I appreciate the initiative, my opinion is that you are still learning the basics, so keep researching. Also try keeping a neutral language; you are trying to create a reference guide, rather than just posting your personal opinion.



Wow! It's a1ex! Last time we communicated was 2012! (Don't worry you wouldn't remember that, it was a small PM years ago.)I don't remember actually posting any opinions at all... I'd have to read the whole thread again, but I think I just asked some questions and updated the first post to reflect the answers that were given. The problem I had with the "Current Raw Capabilities" thread is that there's a lot of outdated information on there (the thing about there being no way to disable the boot flag on the 5D2 is just one, very small example), but worse is that a lot of the links going from there lead to dead ends and things like "make sure you have sRAW enabled."And also because a lot of people ask the same questions over and over again. And I made this thread specifically *because* I'm new...er to the whole RAW video thing (though not new to ML at all) and that I can see how it looks to people who haven't read every single thread since 2013. What would be ridiculously obvious to anyone like that wouldn't make much since at all to someone who just got into RAW now. (Which... I believe... is where all these TL questions come from).Oh and the "strange black and white zoom" was hilarious the first time I saw it. I was out on a test shoot and I pressed the button and screamed "WHAT THE HELL?!?"I mean I don't expect anybody to walk me or anybody else through every single feature in the movie section. I'm just looking at the situation with a pair of eyes as fresh as anyone else's, but with the added benefit of compiling what I've found.EDIT: Just so we're absolutely clear... I don't have any criticisms at all about the ML firmware... I think it's great and I've been using it since at least 2012 (possibly even 2011, I can't remember). Nor have I found any noteworthy bugs. I had a few pink frames and weird dots in some of the really old firmware from 2013 that I was directed to download in old threads, but none of the firmware (and I've tried 3 so far) from the recent nightlies has given me any trouble at all. As far as I can see, it's about as mature as any Canon firmware I've ever seen (although their latest printer firmware might give you a run for their money.)
