>New PTool will be released only after we'll move forum and domain to VPS.<<br /> @Vitaliy
You´ve already moved to VPS, right? Is there a chance to get the new Ptool today or tomorrow now? Sorry for being a bit impatient, but you promised so much good things so that it is hard to wait...
"B cam work" But yes, broadcast and GH2 as main cam will need "proper" 25p... as well as higher bitrates and probably 10bit... And now i feel like im spamming ;)
@Ptchaw and daihard - If you would like to use the GH2 for broadcast work in PAL countries, you require 25p - 24p is NOT an option. That's why people are 'spamming'.
I 2nd that... people need to realize that its been asked for, programers are working on it... It will happen IF ITS POSSIBLE. Just please stop spamming that request. Whats so bad for B-footage to be conformed to 25p? I live in PAL land but, prefer steps in bitrate and 10bit to be highest on the priority list.
I have a question regarding 8 bit banding. Are any of the other cameras, F3, AF100 etc 8bit? Do they have banding as well? Is the only solution 8+ bit?
And am I correct HDMI is limited to 8 bit. So no HDMI recorder will receive a signal greater than 8 bit via HDMI, even if I records it in 12 bit. No different than converting a jpeg to 16 bit in Photoshop. You don't gain anything.
Great news here each days ! Thks ya all. Any idea or advice for a firmwrae limitation , if i buy a GH2 now here in france should i verifiy the firmware version ?
""" My understanding is that GH2 supports exFAT and SDXC. You can check how it works. But in no way it will allow easy >2Gb files (MJOEG, for example). As all code is 32bit and requires special handing for such files. """
Yes it's seem a real advance! Exfat, aka fat64 specif: Max file size 64 ZiB, 512 TiB recommended Max volume size 64 ZiB, 512 TiB recommended Http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT
So the 2m39 (if i good remembering) limit has completly bypassed, IF you buy sdxc card (sdhc will be formated in fat32 partition). For the hacked-mjpeg it will be very useful, but how about r/w speeding..?
"Or could be just made up by some to make them feel their make/model is better than others? lol"
Who knows...I use(d) 2 USA/China made GH13's and two Japanese made GH13's...all with same hack parameters. Hard to quantify but I prefer the image out of the latter bodies. Then there's the more relevant issue of quality control. One Chinese GH1 recently deceased...
I shoot a lot in remote overseas locations so myth or no myth I'm not taking any chances with my GH2's...
