@driftwood. I shot a job last weekend with Quantum V2 on 24p L mode. Was happy with the results and it does span on all my cards.
I'm a little confused on the v3,4, & V5 now. Seems the L mode is getting pumped up and I'm happy with the L mode of 64 to get spanning and more time per gigabyte. I changed the mjpeg settings to 2fps for time exposures so just looking at your settings for the rest. Haven't tested 30fps, but will one of these days on interlaced.
If I'm happy with the H (154) and L (64) settings for 24p at 1080 on V 2, so which version should I be using / testing of your Quantum settings?

Thanks again for your tireless & exceptional work.

On a unrelated note, I see where you put your patch on P Bloom's gh2. He is off to do a camera test & decided to include his hacked GH2 with your settings. He is going to be testing against a 7D, prototype Canon C300, Sony F3, FS100, sony NEX5N, & Panasonic af101. Should be interesting as they will be shooting a fair amount without much light at some castle in France amongst other places. You and the hack may be getting some significant exposure depending on how the tests go. Hope you gave him some pointers on SDHC cards, etc....

I had problems trying to run it, too. I had to reinstall X11, but wine works just fine now.

IDK why everyone here suggests wine . . . I found it to be a PITA to get working (matter of fact, I couldn't get it running at all). VirtualBox just works.

Anyhow, my point was that a lot of folks just don't understand how this stuff works, because they've never had to plug in numbers, and they end up thinking it is really simple or sometimes think that PTools IS the hacked firmware . . . after walking throughout that part of the process a few times, I have a much deeper understanding of what eat hack is doing (not as deep an understanding as the hackers, for sure, but deeper than anybody who is just loading .ini files.)

Try it once or twice, its good for you (like vegetables)

@Driftwood
Just tried Quantum v5 on SanDisk 30mb/s HD Video cards. 24L - doesn't span for me and
for my work I need this, so I'm jumping back to Qv4. Solid patch for me.
Your attention to fine tuning these patches is amazing.

First of all, many thanks for all your hard work! But let me ask you a question: Do you really see a difference between 160mbps(H) and 100mbps(L) in this patch regarding IQ? If so, is it possible that you upload a frame comparison where one can see the differences quite clearly? Thanks in advance...

Sometimes, if you're not logged in, you can't access the files (ini and embedded images) sometimes it's as simple as checking to see if you're logged in.

I've been manually entering ALL numbers, due to none of the web browsers within bootcamp recognizing .ini files as downloadable. IMO, EVERYONE should do it this way (manual entry) a couple of times, even if it is just mirroring someone else's (driftwood e.g.) settings (as I have been doing). Open the .ini file in a text reader, it is all there, and corresponds to check boxes and their parameters within PTools. It gives one an extra level of understanding of PTools and how complex this crap is. (And would shut up many pointless questions concerning "what the hack does" or "how ptools works")

@FGCU Patches for testers in ptools, uncollapse >Frame Buffers/Limits see 1080p Frame Limit - change it from 6108888 to 6208888.

*** NEW **** Quantum BETA 5 ****
Thee 720p60p / 1080i60 test!!!!
Both settings are now on much higher bitrate together with GOP3 (inc analysis of encoder settings to achieve better stability) higher frame limit and better temporal quality. They are at their peaks and are looking very good on cadence.
1080p24H The highest average frames over all other patches around! Totally spatial!*
*Sandisk 64Gb 95mbps users before saving firmware can take the 1080p frame limit upto to 6208888 without problems if you would. This will bring you over the 800k mark for i frames (constant) :-)
INTRA 1080p24L has been taken upto 100M for longer recordings with better quality - please test for spanning.
MJPEG Stabilised (as before with slightly lower bitrate and table analysis) and is stil better than has been seen before in other patches.
Test away!

Dr Driftwood ;-)

Can't you DL from here?

@soru
Thank you for your beautiful samples. :-)
I improved 3GOP patch a little again.
Please try.

NOTE:
In this patch, it is ignored except 24p(24H).

UPDATE(2011.Dec.25th):
Second patch is renewal version.

@All thanks for these mjpeg results - I have deliberately pushed it close to the limits on the bitrate, now I need to analyse the table quality settings and mess with them accordingly.
