    Video considering GH2 encryption



    :-)

    If you like it you could see how they made it:

    Hey Vitaliy, keep up the great work. Just added a few $$ to help!

    Thank you for the great work.
    I'm also interested to know if the limitations put on the GH2's HDMI output by Panasonic are actually written into the firmware and if they can be altered. Will there ever be a clean 4:2:2 output?
    How far are we from knowing this?
    No pressure. Keep it up.

    Incredible, now gh2 seems like a great contender. I love my new gf13. I just cant imagine what the gh2 will turn out. My respects for you and your crew.

    will the GH2 hack be able to not only change the Japanese language (japanese models) to English, but will it also be able to output proper 24p 1080 into the atomos ninja, instead of the current strange container of 1080i.

    Thanks

    >I read in another thread here that 1080p is not available due to the sensor

    This was G2 thread :-)

    >get manual audio levels with live metering

    Live meters are available on stock GH2.
    Audio levels are in fact adjustable AGC.
    I found necessary routines and constants for all settings already.
    So, we'll see that happens if we'll adjust them.

    >audio monitoring through HDMI

    It could be hard. As, most probably, necessary code is just not present.
    So, if it is some switch, then it could be done.

    Hello! Just joined up so I can jump into this thread and get reports. I've contributed, and will again. I'm not in a hurry to buy the camera. I'm waiting to see how this develops. I read in another thread here that 1080p is not available due to the sensor. But the stock camera does 1080p24. I guess that's wrapped in a 1080i?

    Anyway, my 2 main hopes for the hack is to (1) get a nice 1080p30 with audio. And (2) get manual audio levels with live metering and audio monitoring through HDMI. VK, what do you think? Too much to ask?

    Hi Everyone,

    exciting things are on the way as I gather... !

    I am having serious issues with GH2, basically I get "trailing" or image doubling when panning at a certain pace in 24p (1080p and 720p). Analysing frame grams you can clearly see there is no blur, which would be normal, but a sort of twiching which is totally unacceptable at any level.

    Camera went to serviving, they found nothing.

    Right now I wrote to Panasonic UK and Japan to clarify this.
    Anyone experiencing the very same issue? If this is it, I am hoping a software hack can fix this.

    regards

    >but it's worth buying lumix GH2 one now?

    Yes :-) even whithout any hack.

    >think you can hack and put I hope many more exciting options or a lumix GH3?

    No one knows anything about GH3.
    And I think that we won't see it this year due constant rolling blackouts in Japan.
    They closed some new statons few days ago.

    no hablo ingles lo siento,pero merece la pena comprarme una lumix gh2 ahora? crees que podras hackearla y poner muchas opciones emocionantes o espero mejor a una lumix gh3?? gracias por todo vitaliy!!!

    I'm sorry I do not speak English, but it's worth buying
    lumix GH2 one now? think you can hack and put
    I hope many more exciting options or a lumix
    GH3? thanks for all vitaliy! (google traductor)

    Just added some $$ to the kitty. The GH1 hack transformed that camera, can't wait for 25p and higher bitrates in the GH2. Good luck.
    PS: although I'm not a brilliant php coder by any means, if there are some simple tasks that you could use help with, let me know.
  • vanawesomevanawesome
    Just sent some $$ your way. really looking forward to this hack. Hoping there is something in there that would allow genlock / sync between two cameras for a 3D rig.
  • fatpigfatpig
    hello, im following the hack progress very interested currently as im looking to buy a japanese model GH2 some day in the next weeks, is it too early to ask, if there will be a public hack to switch the menu to english? (As the current one is kept behind closed doors) thank you very much for your work!

    So what new features are you looking for in WinGraph? :)

    > there's no proper way to reply to your post? I had to copy and paste to quote your original msg.

    I could add necessary quote functions.
    But having them off helps to keep readability at higher levels.

    Sorry I'm not a web developer :)
    On a side note... there's no proper way to reply to your post? I had to copy and paste to quote your original msg.

    >I made quite good progress in encryption part.
    Hope to have working decryptor in about monday (or, if busy) thuesday.


    Man, Vitaliy, don't forget to eat and drink when working non-stop! :)

    That is fast, isn't? :)

    I made quite good progress in encryption part.

    > I never left :) But I have been busy with a bunch of other projects.

    Yeah, people must value such a developer.
    How are you with PHP?

    @dracore

    Are you back? :-)

    How about finishing up WinGraph?
    We can also talk about few other things :-)
  • dracoredracore
    So what tools do you think you'll need us to write for you? :)
  • LliamWLliamW
    yes ...ummm.. errrrr... very interesting news on the arr... buffer bitrate hex anomaly thingy...

    Carry on.
