Shot some with quantum 7 today.. Spanning did not work in L on a sandisk 16Gb 30mb/s at first, after an in-camera format I tried again (low intensity scene) and then It kept going.. (I didn't let it record the whole card). I wouldn't hold my breath for it to span in a scene that pushes it, though. It seems like it's it's just on the edge of what the card is capable of.

@sohus, Seaquake has been stable on my 32gb transcend class 10. It spanned on H setting the other night on fireworks ISO 2500, but the average bitrate there was 80 mbit as it was mostly black. But its perfectly stable on mine even in the most complex of scenes with max bitrate.

Tried out new Quantum V7, it's perfectly fine on my card.

@balazer - exFAT doesn't seem to be the reason.. at least not the sole reason. I did a test today, formatting a 16gb 30mb/s sandisk to exFAT - had to reformat it in the camera and after it was read as a FAT32.. I did a spanning test with it aswell and there was no success. (just like jfro's experience).

I did not expect it to work, because then there would have been no need for spanning at all on the 95mb/s cards. (exFAT has no file size limit) Had to try it out, anyway! :)

oops my bad... spanning does work in 24L. i had the mistake of loading the the files individually in clipwrap, i should have dropped the entire avchd folder. :) but another thing, it stops recording after 10 minutes.

V5 is ok but 720/60p sometimes dons't work about card speed limit , today i want to solve it with V7 , come another problem ...

@Raysito22 It seems like the camera understands the sdxc cards as FAT32 even though they are exFAT. Most likely there is something more in play than the file system only, but I don't know enough to say what that would be.

Mind, I did a complete erase in disk utility / mac to change my sandisk 16gb into exFAT.

@Raysito22 In the traditional sense, like any hard drive/SSD drives/chips, the closer (smaller) you can put reduce the size of the memory cell's the more data can be held/and effective speed writes&reads will increase. Sandisk have just doubled to 128Gb/45mb/s UHS-I SDXC card which suggests more is being squeezed out of the technology - and it looks like they'll probably go further...

@driftwood, i'm not sure Sandisk put out a 128G 95MB/s card. i think it's 'only' 45MB/s. am i wrong?

@disneytoy -- if you want to span on the latest quantum settings I believe you need the 64 gig not 32 gig cards.

Will be trying out the latest quantum on a shoot today. Shot over 100 gigs of stuff on aquamotion of several large and remote mayan ruin sights -- love how it looks, especially how the gh2 handles the jungle's greens. Free time permitting will put it up soon.

Has everyone made a new year donation to Vitaliy? Even $5 each from everyone reading this thread will go a long way.

Is there anyone that can help combine QV7's AVCHD Mode settings with 1080i Settings that are equal to or close enough? Just realized I need a 1080/60i patch for interview/29.97 shooting.

Have the right cards to span

Hmmm. What's the bitrate on the 1080i Quantum V7? I'm getting 25mb/s. That correct?

Might have to go MJPEG 1080/30 if I want something that looks decent?

@kholi Try Ralph_B's Sanity 3.1 patch for 1080i and 720p60 at FSH/SH 44mb/s and FH/H 32mb/s. I am using it and it looks great.
