@driftwood How to get 1080i 50, to not double lines in your patches (need non wrapped, is this possible and how)? I would like at least FSH to get 32 mbits stable + your patches that spans ?
tried your patch, write speed error ... at FSH 1080i 50/PAL iso: 6000 my card is SanDisk Extreme Video HD / 30mb/s ... Lens: DG 25mm 1.4, night lamp only ...
hang on though . . . the camera does the desqueeze with these settings, right? Couldn't you do the reverse without an anamorphic to get the bokeh stretched?
@driftwood and others. From reading here seems to be no error reports with Quantum V2? I know it's still experimental, but want to try it on a shoot tomorrow -- my two sandisk extreme 95 cards arrived from b&h today. Hurrah.
technically, NO. you literally set the GOP SETTING to 1.
But, bitrate and other settings do get increased. there are MANY variables changed by an .ini file. It is complex hacking these suckers, not just changing of one number.
MJPEG 2560 x 1080 HD mode anamorphic Note: First recording will fail. 2nd recording onwards: You have to move around for the first second in order for the GH2 to write its jpeg file, then should settle. But best for movement. Will probaby fail at prolonged pauses ;-) This will give 100% (1,1,1,1,1etc... ) on jpeg snoop during the jpeg test !!! If you can't be bothered with the hassle of attempting to get hi quality full x2 anamorphic then lower the frame size to;- 2048x864 for stability.
MJPEG VGA Mode: 2160 x 810 anamorphic mode. Should be good on static shots. Best quality patch so far for VGA mode :-)
1080p24 Still AQ4, tuned to 154M with no loss of quality. L mode will span on all cards :-) 1080i tuned bitrate/limits, FH mode is nearly equal quality, span + longer recordings. ;-) 720p improved to AQ4/ tuned. Should be good on hi quality sd cards...
Test away and give me feedback, the next beta of 'Quantum' will happen after VK provides the next ptools release incorporating new features on HBR mode plus more;-)
I did a high ISO test with bkmcwd's latest 3GOP Q18 patch. @bkmcwd thanks for your effort and informing me of the patch. I'm happy with the result. nice and usable patch.
firstly, the comparison of the original source and NR version.
what does "100% (1,1,1,1,1etc... )" mean? and what is the advantage of using 2560 x 1080 instead of 1920x810?
@FGCU I think in post you would scale the 2560x1080 down to 1920x810, then stretch the 810 back up to 1080...that's what I would do if I were shooting without an anamorphic lens
2560x1080 2048x864 1920x810 are all 2.37:1 I'm just wondering if there is an advantage to shooting with the 2560 over the 1920 in terms of image quality if the final output is 1920?
edit: by final output I mean after all clips have been edited the finished piece would be 1920 wide.
The effort was to achieve the highest maximum frame size (2560x1080) without the need to mess on NLE AND keep it recording. We sorta did it, but its a hack... moving camera around until the jpeg gets written/after the first second, then the recording tends to settle down. Its mixed results at the highest mode (why? well, if you keep it stable at first it tends to not like to record :-( shame), but if you move it down to 2048x864 it should be fine and better quality than present patches. Test away. If its no good for anamorphic users, let me know! Hence beta.
