What version of ML are you guys using? I had a scare, cause my t2i would shut off a few seconds after booting, with the latest 22.december version ( I had just replaced the autoexec.exe on the card) - I'm using a battery pack btw...don't know if that makes a difference...anyway now I formated the card in camera, and it still did it....took off the battery pack and now things are back to normal without ML installed...now I wanna do the install again from scratch, but wanna know which version I should be using...?
Put in the sd card all files of the lastest version, no only the autoexec, i think the problem is the .cfg file

nobody can know that, but it shouldn't
there are many examples on this very thread of people screwing up, doing lots of things the wrong way, and I think noone managed to kill a camera
I just updated to the latest Dec 22 build on 1.0.9 (no more 1.0.8 development) and I gotta say it's a huge improvement. Audio playback issue is fixed and we get manual color temp, and smaller ISO intervals. Not to mention the selectable cropmarks. No more taping up your monitor to do 2.35. I really appreciate all the hard work these guys are doing allowing us to get the most out of our cameras. If you're having problems double check you're following the install instructions from here:
http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/550d_install
If you're having trouble making a card bootable, I recommend EOScard for Windows. (make sure you run it as administrator, the rest of the instructions are in the link above)

i second his request!
zebra numbers? whats 100% 90% ??
zebra numbers? whats 100% 90% ??
Zebra numbers in menu represent picture brightness fom 0 to 255 ,255 its white 0 is black so closer to 0 would show zebra on only very dark/black stuff and closer to 255 would make zebras on very bright stuff.I cant explain,test it and youll figure it out.
% is spot meter to check brightness 0 dark 100 white.Spot is in the middle of the screen,read userguide.

also, is there any way to get the shutter speeds to include 1/48?

Everyone has been asking, and what keeps being answered is that because its digital, there is no actual difference between 48 and 50. Im just repeating what I have read on their group, I have no idea if it is true but 50 is fine enough for me.

I'm not sure about this, but if you want IRE levels for your zebra settings, just multiply the IRE number by 2.55
So if you want the bars on 70 IRE set them in camera to 179,, 204 for 80 IRE.
I havent tried it in practice yet, but it had me wondering because I normaly use zebras for skin tone exposure.
There is info about that on google ML groups here,very interesting read IMO,Anthony Newman posts are fascinating( especially 20p leftovers from 500D
):http://groups.google.com/group/ml-devel/browse_thread/thread/c82b76babd61feff#
I thought there would be 1/48 programmed by canon engineers so i asked Alex to unlock all programmed shutter speeds possible

So then there would not be any benefit to running my sennheiser wireless audio on a seperate recording device anymore? Cuz that would just be awesome.
there would be some benefit, as recording to a better (less compressed format), but since the output of the wirelss mic is not the real output of the mic (in fact the output of the receiver) , and probably a cheap recording device would not be as much better as the DSLR input (and a high end recording device would not give any improvement on the received signal), i am not sure the balance between
having to resync the audio and the gain in quality would be positive.
but for sure , if you got all what is needed to get top audio quality, use it.

Thanks so much for posting that! I'll join the club this weekend!
