@driftwood thank you and great news! any chance of 6gop nebula variation of IV3?

@driftwood

Some questions about Moon T8 and Drewnet 10:

Aside from the bitrates what are the differences between Drewnet 10 and Moon T8 then? Does one grade better than the other? Would the Moon variation of Drewnet 10 look and grade better than Drewnet 10?

Thanks for all your continued work on these hacks!

First time poster..

Tried Spizz t7 with sandisk 95mb 64gig card on FSH, looks great, no spanning though.. more tests when time permits.

@driftwood Timing on release of Moon T8 and ClassiX w IV3 is perfect - I've got project Im shooting in a few weeks, so I'm squaring away look now. If I edit IV2 to add scaling tables from ClassiX setting, will it span (or would test be necessary)? Thanks!

I tested Moon T8 in different situations and what I notice in every test is a presence of a lot of deep smoothness. It's like a Neat Video pre-applied with high settings, even when GH2's NR is set to -2.

See the frames before and after (raw and graded) below. Anyone with similar observations?

@cjdincer: Oh, the colors are not only less, they are drastically changed after pressing the record button. That time the whole picture becomes blown out, blue and red almost disappear and only greyish/greenish remains, no matter what WB was set in advance. Also, about the out of focus backgrounds: they seem to be lost of details when focusing on them more than the previous patches I've tested. Again: I'm talking about indoor situations.

Bug Test:

Standard of tests: ALL NTSC video modes (VBR, HBR, FH, FSH, 24p, 24H, etc) for at least 5 minutes continuously. Racking Aperture and lighting conditions, zoom and movement. Brand New 64gb 95mb/s Extreme Pro card purchased from B&H delivered yesterday. Year old Sandisk Extreme 64gb 45mb/s microSD card with San disk included adapter.

Results:

SanDisk Extreme® microSDHC™/microSDXC™ UHS-I Card 45mb/s MICROSD Moon T8:
No stops within 5 minutes test of each mode. In camera playback functional, clips loaded into premier, audio Working working fine.

ClassiX Intravenus v3 matrix: No stops within 5 minutes test of each mode. In camera playback functional, clips loaded into premier, audio working.

SanDisk Extreme Pro® SDXC™ UHS-I Memory Card 95mb/s SD Moon T8: not yet fully tested yet.

ClassiX Intravenus v3 matrix: VBR 80%: Film stopped instantly when introduced to complex subjects, high contrast lighting, zooming an and out rapidly, panning or dollying. HBR and 1080i modes: Intermittently stopped filming within 1-3 minutes twice in 5 attempts, couldn’t pin down what caused it. No in camera playback, No audio in VBR 80% clips when loaded on the computer.

next test: complete T8 tests on 95mb/s card to see if there are any additional errors.

Spanning test.

Basis of these findings: While waiting for the 95mb/s SD card that I ordered from B&H, I began testing T8 with my micro SD card and didn’t encounter any of the problems members have been addressing this week. The 95 card arrived yesterday and the Micro SD card behaved surprisingly better than the new 95mb/s card did (though I haven’t performed a spanning test in all modes on either yet, I want to narrow down what’s specifically problematic first.) Why would a 45mb/s MICRO SD in an adapter card record more reliably than a 95mb/s SD card?

Empirical observation: Micro SD card was not nearly as hot after filming tests

Additional Tests: will control test temperature with a a laser thermometer after identical footage and check differences.

Thanks everyone, Have FUN!

Both cards are SanDisk brand 64GB cards @marciocons, under similar stress tests the MICRO SD Extreme 64GB 45mb/s in its card adapter performed flawlessly under all the same conditions. The new 64GB Extreme PRO 95mbps card stopped recording in VBR <<<%80 modes, and HBR 1080i, and had audio rendering, playback, and import problems. These experiments surprised me, because I would have expected more stable performance out of the newer, faster full size SD card, when instead the Micro SD 64GB worked flawlessly in all the same tests. I did my best to force it to crash or stop. I'm testing spanning now on both cards in Moon T8, then I will test Spizz, as well as Classix and report back differences on the cards and performances. Hope I don't raise more questions than I can answer and that this ads a positive variable to stabilize these amazing new GOPs.

@gittzy

Maybe you have a defective 95mbps card. Try benchmarking the card on your computer you should get around 70mbs.

Classix looks awesome, Intravenus V3 fine matrix its really really nice. The only problem is that i cant playback in camera, I have a 95mb/s 32GB sandisk.

@jhonnnysulls and @jhonnyskulls , try to install the patch with the AUDIO options disabled in Ptools. I was having this king of issue with both Moon T8 and Drewnet T9, however after proceeding as mentioned, playback is working fine.

Yes, @driftwood, no audio during playback in cam or computer at the %80 VBR (no other audio problems with any other setting). I managed to test spanning Moon T8 and ClassiX and had interesting results with these two cards (temperatures and run times) I'll post later. Further more, @AZO, I will benchmark the 95mb/s card and report back. Thanks everyone! Everything I'm recording looks incredible
