Thank you, Alexei

Has anyone tried it?

Cause i can read about 2k in mjpeg mode with Gh2, but 2048*1142 is not 2k.

Thanks.

I've followed several times the exact procedure and searched any similar topics almost everywhere but I'm not able to solve the problem.

I'm using a 16 GB SDHC UHS-I Sony 94MB/s. Should I use only SanDisk? (the GH2__V11.bin firmware worked on it)

Thanks a lot for your help.

[Done] I've solved the problem. Don't know how was that possible but it started working. Dear admins, this thread (now useless) can be closed or deleted. Thanks

Thanks

thanks in advance Emy

I've looked around and haven't found this specific issue before. I've installed the 2.66d hack, and things seemed fine. I actually installed it a few times- the first time I didn't have the latest firmware, so didn't have the HBR setting. I then installed again with the latest firmware and everything seemed fine. I did a few short tests- working OK. Then I went and did a longer test, and while using HBR (my settings for the hack were 42mbs max, so not that high) I got the MOTION RECORDING CANCELLED DUE TO THE LIMITATION OF THE WRITING SPEED OF THE CARD error. Camera stalled out, so I had to pop the battery. Somehow the footage was still stored in the camera when I re-started, and I tried again- same issue. So I went to Motion Jpeg and that went fine- no issues.

I just reinstalled the hack again- and tried again. After a few tests, the HBR mode worked fine. Then I did a long test- just let it run. After 25 min and 52 sec, it just stopped. When I tried to hit record again- I got the MOTION message. So basically I can't rely on my HBR mode, which is what I use most. I installed also the NO ADVERSE AFFECTS SETTIGNS INI file from this link:

Any help would be appreciated. Do I Uninstall (not sure how to do that but I am sure I can figure it out) and then re-install?

Thanks,

Smith

I am new to hacks for my GH2- just installed the 3.66d hack. It seems to be working except now my HBR setting is gone. I followed these instructions:

http://www.zeroplusplus.com/easy-panasonic-gh2-42mbps-firmware-patch-instructions/

I must have done something incorrectly, obviously. I am not a complete idiot, just new to this world, so any help would be appreciated. I shoot projects that require 30p and like the HBR mode, so would rather keep it if possible. At the moment I have only Variable mode, Cinema mode, and Manual Movie Mode.

Thank you for any help.

I realize that neither of these cards are listed in the wiki concerning cards but the Extreme Pro is supposed to be a good card. Anyhow: I first tried Sanity 5.1 My record time in 24p 24H was really short. (maybe 20 seconds or so?) switching to 24p 24L yielded about a minute of record time. I tried the full manual mode and ran the "HD" setting for quality and got about 2 minutes. Everytime is says that the record time has exceeded the write capacity of the card. Oddly, I seemed to get better results with the cheaper card. It ran well over 3 minutes on 24p 24L, but still just over a minute on 24H.

I also tried Cake version 2.2 (I think) on the Extreme Pro card and it was terrible, record times were like 10 seconds or less. 720P was like 8 seconds.

The reason I picked both those patches is I wanted reasonable bit rates/files sizes and good reliability and spanning.

Any ideas? Could it really be the cards?
Just for the record, after loading the patches my camera said "this card is not formated to this camera and not suitable for recording" (or something along those lines) is that typical?

If there is a thread that deals with this just point me there, no offense taken...my searches didn't turn up a clear answer.

thanks! -Greg

I have 2pcs GF1 camera, camera A with Chinese menu, camera B without Chinese menu.

Is it possible to use any software, so that we can copy firmware from camera A to camera B, and then camera B can display Chinese menu?

Many thanks.

I used Apocalypse_Now_-_Cluster_v7 Sharp 2 this weekend I got a lot of files errors.

I did't have and ND filter so I had to set the shutter over 50 sometimes. (Shutter over 100 to 200.

Would the shutter cost the problem?

I was shooting at 24p H

The files that worked look really good!

Thanks!

I do everything correctly, I have read ALL tutorials on the net and nothing works...

What's happening: When I load the camera with the hacked firmware, the camera recognizes and show the "Start Version up" screen, I put "yes" and everything happens as it should, BUT after the hack when I go to "Version Display" it still shows Firmware Ver. 1.1, not 0.0 as it should.

I have tried everything, and when I google I can't find nobody with this problem...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I've gotten so far in installing my GH2 hack to get to saving the firmware on my Mac computer. However, each time I try and save it (as GH2__V11.bin), it says "Wrong file name, camera won’t be able to read such a file." I try a higher number, and same thing. Kind of baffled...any suggestions?

thank you

Daniel

Thank you and Happy New Year

I did a test (24p and HBR) with cluster x spizz, see images below;

The difference in quality between 24p and HBR (less detail, more aliasing) is something I see in all patches, can it be fixed with different settings or patch?

i am a bit confused. I bought a "16:9 widescreen lens" glass and everything looks anamorphic, picture is stretched too. After playing around with the footage and VLC i recognised, that my footage with (i've used the Anamorphic LPowell Flowmotion Hack) 1920x810 looks stretched here an example:

A few days later i checkt on a "square note" paper and saw, that the image is streched. I endet up with 2.21:1 with 1920x868 resolution. Is that right or am i doing something wrong?

Thank you and best regards Emin

Here is some stuff i film in differents times and hack (most of the with the camera "naked")

Sorry about my english.

Thanks.

This is the FAQ to read if you're trying to read the forums, and finding a lot of technical stuff and acronyms that are going right over your head. It won't make you design hacks as good as Driftwood's or Sanity or Cake, and it won't tell you which hack is the best one to use. But if you read it, you will understand what I-frames and P-frames are, what GOP is, what intraframing and interframing are, and a few other details that'll help you follow some of the discussions here.

I can also crank up my bit-rate since the new card can handle it.

What I'm curious about is if there's a go-to hybrid hack. As in, the 24H mode being hardcore, for when I'm using the extreme pro card, but the 24L mode being a lot more forgiving, ideally spanning on a class 10 card (Lexar 32gb 133x Speed class 10).

Basically, I don't want to move up into a hack that ONLY works on my sandisk, rendering my lexar cards useless. For the 'money' shots I'll use the 24H/sandisk, but for regular B-roll stuff, or if I'm running out of room, I'll use 24L and lexar.

What I currently have on my camera is Aquamotion v2 (it times out my lexar cards around 6min or so). It's better than the first hack I installed (Quantum).

Any suggestions?

Here's a film shot with my camera/aquamotion with primarily the kit lens and an olympus f1.4:

Is there another site or page dedicated to simply listing any and all patches in order from newest to oldest or something like that?

Is this the newest patch at the moment? Cluster v9 'DREWnet' 'Boom 4444 matrix.

Where is the 244mb/s patch I am seeing in youtube/vimeo videos? Unfortunately some users didn't post the name of the hack. I have heard of patches bringing it to 280/290 mb/s..not sure if this is true or not, but where would I find these.

I would like to test the highest bitrate patch, but i am having difficulty finding them. I am looking for the highest possible quality for some situations..even if it doesnt play back in camera..thats what my computer is here for (also, I started with film so this doesn't scare me as with film you can never play back what you recorded)

ALSO, THANKS VITALY & DRIFTWOOD and everyone for everything. If I make some money in the near future I will donate! I am broke atm..

Best,

Mike

I have 2 questions and I'm using the GH2.

1) Can you recommend a hack that would allow me to shoot at 1920X1080P at 30P and 1920X1080P at 60P?

2) I would also like to know is there is hack that would allow me to shoot with the original GH2 setting but let's me keep recording for more then 30minutes?

Thanks for the help!
