my head will explode between so many choices, so many settings/hacks, like a kid in a candy store cant decide which candy to devour first.

@dado023: valkyrie 444 24p is in my opinion the best 3gop setting outthere and one of the best overall. I can highly recommend it. Great characteristics and super stable :)

@chickenpusher

what are the main differences between 'Pure Original 444 Matrix' and 'Pure Original Cinema Smooth Matrix' ?

Chris explained this in the past. :-)

@chickenpusher

is there a particular reason why 720/60p isn't a 3GOP like the 720/50p?

It is because the limit of the bit rate which can be treated is low only in 60p as already known.

I think that this is because the resource required for processing of 60fps is probably quite heavy. Since the bit rate which exceeds 70M in 50p can be used, it is set to 3GOP.

BTW, in my GOLGOP3-13 etc., 60p is set as 9GOP. This is for using the bigger I frame than Valkyries. If it will set to 6GOP, I frame size will become small and image quality will worsen.

It is because I frame size cannot become large easily in these matrices as to why it is set to GOP shorter than other settings in Valkyries.

Is it transmitted correctly in my English?

@chickenpusher

Thanks mate. :-)

Do you think the 60p will be ok for this type of shooting?

Honestly, since I myself hardly use 60p, I am not detailed, but I think that it is OK as long as I looked at other users' work.

I used "bkmcwd Valkyrie 444 TYPE-ZERO2_BETA3 & Cinema Smooth TYPE-ZERO2_BETA4" 24p mode.

Thanks for amazing quality settings and your hard work!!

*FILM MODE is NOS.(-2,0,+1,-2) and the lens is LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm/PZ45-175mm, NOS(-2,0,+1,-2)

*SANDISK Extreme Pro SDXC UHS-I (95MB/s) 64GB

@Mirrorkisser

Thank you for watching!

"Cinema Smooth" part is the scene which "water" is expressed. Others are "444".

I like "444" slightly now.

Few questions regarding "Instantaneous Death Screen"

1) is 1280x720 original size on vimeo, it takes 162MB mp4?

2) What to do if camera freezes? just turn OFF an ON?

tnx :)

" @dado023: valkyrie 444 24p is in my opinion the best 3gop setting outthere and one of the best overall. I can highly recommend it. Great characteristics and super stable :)."

after you suggested, i have hacked my GH2 with this setting, but when was recording Instantaneous Death Screen video it broke, coz of card speed issue, so i only got 3minutes and 4seconds.

This is from streamparser: File: Name: F:\PRIVATE\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM\00021.MTS

Size: 2,552,561,664 Bytes (427,296 Packets)

Stream: TS Max Speed: 152,470,600 bps

Mode: 1080/24p

Average PCR Timing Interval: 0.093 seconds 

Clip Duration: 0:03:04.10

PCR Duration: 0:03:04.20

TS Bitrate: 131,749 / 110,858,235 / 152,500,418

I am assuming my card is not fast enough, so my question is, what would happen if i manually decrease bitrate using PTtools for example -20mbits, i guess it should work stable then, but will it screw up video IQ?

@omnidecay

Thanks for your feedback. :-)

95MB/s SDXC is completely different from other cards as pointed out repeatedly.

IMHO, If the high-bit-rate-ized settings is used, I think that 95MB/s SDXC is a must-have item. Although it may be able to use by chance with other cards...

BTW, did you try 24L?

I am a little confused about one thing.

"Upto 140M for Top Quality 1080p30 at Q18 in 24L mode with 80% Slow-Motion Mode (No Sound)"

Does this mean that we should first switch to 24L and then switch to 80% slow-down mode? And does this mean it plays back at 1080p30?

@chickenpusher

I am sorry to be poor at my explanation in English.

Does this mean that we should first switch to 24L and then switch to 80% slow-down mode? And does this mean it plays back at 1080p30?

It means "that it is necessary to certainly change to 24L when using 80% mode."

As you know, the 80% mode is only recording the file shot in 30p as 24p. Therefore, in the camera side, it is recognized as data size of "30p=24px1.25."

If 80% will be used in 24H, the highest bit rate of substance will go up around 175M. This is over the limit of the bit rate which GH2 can treat. In 24L, since it is set to "118Mx1.25=147.5M", the limit is not exceeded.

Of course, the file recorded in 80% is 24p, when it is played as it is. If play speed is increased, it will be reproduced as 30p without a sound.

In my present settings, only Valkyries and Spizz cannot use 80% in 24H.

Was it transmitted in these explanation?
