Sorry to be replying to my own posts but maybe it will speed someone else up in the future. Hopefully lightworks will relent in the future and go back to allowing output greater than 720p for free.

Lightworks seems to accept these mp4 files once the fps issue is sorted out and reports them as 1920 x 1080 rather than 1920 x 1088. These can be changed from 30 fps to one of the presets (15, 23.976, 24, 25, 29.970, or 30fps) before muxing to mp4 without transcoding. Once working, this allows very speedy demuxing of the 50D mov files made with exact fps override. I had trouble installing it on my w7 圆4 system but got it working once it was installed in c:\Program Files (x86)\ I found the above method didn't work with some of my files so after a bit more looking found MyMP4box gui Is everyone on the 50D shooting raw all the time or does anyone shoot H264? I did a search through the forum but the nearest I could find was this: If transcoding is necessary, what would be the best setting to use in terms of speed without degrading the video too much? On Windows I can transcode with Eyeframe Converter Is there any freeware which will change the metadata in post without transcoding everything? Maybe there's a global setting or if the first frame is changed to 25fps maybe the software will accept it? I can't get the 50D footage to import into Lightworks without transcoding the mov files which is time consuming. Lightworks erroneously reports the 50D footage as 30fps since that's what the metadata says. The 50D footage was shot with fps override set to 25fps which is what the other cameras were set at.

I have some H264 footage shot yesterday on a 50D, 5D2 and 60D.
