HBR Unstable with 3.66d hack
  • shgshg

    Hello,

    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

    Hacking is not always as simple as increasing the bit rate setting. There are bunches of different settings to be changed, and only certain combinations will work.

    Good settings have already been developed: http://personal-view.com/talks/categories/hack-top-settings

    Thanks for your reply. I did a follow a set path of instructions that had been recommended by someone I trust (see link below). The only change I made was to install the latest firmware.

    The settings you used were not developed for HBR mode. You need to use something newer that supports HBR mode.

    @shg just spend some time learning about it and read yourself more about patches in the first posts (written by the developers, respectively), balazer wrote you very good info where to start. You know about your needs better than anybody else
