lhelmer Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'm looking to purchase a 5D MarkIII. I've been on the T3i and the MarkIII can use SD or CF cards. I obviously have SD cards for my T3i. [b]The question is[/b]: Will SD cards be capable of handling the 91Mbit ALL-I mode? Or will I need to purchase something like the SanDisk Extreme Pro 16GB 90Mb card?

jcs Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I tried both SD (95MB/s which is capped at 20MB/s ave. on the 5D3) & CF (Lexar Pro 600X; ~45MB/s ave.); quality was the same. No errors with SD. However I don't use ALL-I anymore after initial testing due to poor quality compared to IPB in CS5.5. Just installed CS6, will test ALL-I again and see if decoding quality has improved.

lhelmer Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 I look forward to hearing the results of your test. What was wrong with the ALL-I codec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Don't have time for extensive tests, however in CS6 720p60 looks a bit better using ALL-I (detail). 1080p24 looks the same or IPB might be better for slow moving shots (detail). For CS6, it's no longer necessary to rename MOV to MPG to get real-time performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
