I release "GOLGOP3-13_SednaAQ1C_V2.1_BETA2" setting.

This is the setting focused on image quality with LARGE I-FRAME SIZE except 60p and 50p.

And, I am also focusing to stability.

Special thanks to @driftwood and @towi! :-)

Please try it.

Please refer to here to combine @thepalalias's "Pasadena_Pulse_Audio_V2_Beta2" http://perlichtman.com/pasdenapulse/wordpress/2012/03/14/panasonic-gh2-audio-settings-file-pasadena-pulse-audio-v2-beta-2/

NOTE:

*Although bit rate setups are quite high, the bit rate which actually appears are lower than these. Since the actual bit rate changes by the object to shoot, please confirm by yourself.

*24H and 24L are high quality 3GOP setting with mega size I-frame.

*24p80%(30p) is available in only 24L.

*In camera playback is available in 24p. In other mode, Sometimes available.(Not tested yet, but probably)

*EX Tele works.(Not tested yet, but probably)

*Spanning in 24H, 24L, maybe in FSH, HBR, and SH with SanDisk 95MB/s 64GB SDXC Card.(Not tested yet, but probably)

*Spanning in other cards needs to be tested.

I have never lost a clip during a lockup.

@bkmcwd Thanks for your very quick answer. I'll load the new settings and give them a try tomorrow if the weather permits. Thanks again.

This is "GOP3ZILLA_2.13_BETA2"

Since 720p of V2.12 was somewhat too aggressive, it was made quiet.

Please try! :-)

EDIT:Please use 2nd zip. 1st is wrong.

@pwc

Thanks for using my setting and feedback! :-)

"The camera stopped recording once after 30s without warning at the worst possible time on a scene that did not strike me as being more complex compared to the previous ones."

OK. I will check and improve it.

A few images of the 2012 Paris Marathon taken yesterday in 720p with the GOP3ZILLA_V2.12 patch on a freshly formatted 95MB/s Sandisk 64 GB card, and graded with the technique explained here : http://www.personal-view.com/talks/categories/color-grading.

The camera stopped recording once after 30s without warning at the worst possible time on a scene that did not strike me as being more complex compared to the previous ones. I had to pull out the battery and the clip was lost (0k size, unrecoverable by PANASONIC AVCCAM RESTORER that complained about the card not being the right one).

Thanks bkmcwd.

@Bonzai

Thanks always for using my settings. :-)

I am working for GOLGOP3-13_SednaAQ1C_V2.1_BETA2.

Bonzai

A 2 minute walk up Market Street. Video/audio captured with Panasonic GH2 with GOP3ZILLA_SednaAQ1C_V2.1 video patch and Pasadena_Pulse_Audio_V2_Beta2 audio patch. Hand held camera - it's a lot more difficult than it looks...

Credit to bkmcwd and Nick Driftwood for the video patch. Likewise Per Lichtman for the audio patch. Much appreciation to Vitaliy Kiselev for making it possible.

I release "GOP3ZILLA_SednaAQ1C_V2.1_BETA" setting.

Please try. :-)

@Tobsen

Thanks! :-)

Tobsen

Oh I forgot to mention one thing: I shot in HBR25p and it looked reaaaaally good ;)

bkmcwd

@Bonzai

Many thanks for feedbacks! :-) I have received the report that both NTSC and PAL work satisfactorily from my friend.

@Tobsen

Thanks for testing my setting. :-)

I also imagine whether the cause of a card is not good.

Tobsen

Hey everyone, just a quick question: I tested GOP3ZILLA V2.12 today and had a recording problem. Whenever I shot a long recording, let's say more than 3min, I could only record 1-3 more short clips before the camera refused to record any longer. I pressed the rec button and the cam just wouldn't record. I had the same problem with cake 2.2 today. I have no idea why. I used a SDXC 95 MB/sec and shot at f2, shutter 50, iso 1000. Standard -2-1-2-2. It never happened before so I am pretty confused why it is happening now. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I searched the forum another time and then read about that common problem with that card. I guess that is the problem, even though it doesn't give any "error" warnings just refuses to record.

Bonzai

GOLGOP3-13_SednaAQ1C_V2.1_BETA: One minute @HBR30p. Pany 14-140, Vibrant -2-1-1-2, F4, ISO3200, SS30. Looks quite stable although diagonally panning the brick wall with a railing in the foreground drives the i-frame size up a bit (see attached StreamParser report). In-camera playback is fine with Transcend 16 GB Class 10.

@Bonzai

Thanks again! :-) I need to get those who use to check by themselves about the situation in cards other than SanDisk95M.

Bonzai

Correction: I was referring to GOLGOP3-13_SednaAQ1C_V2.1_BETA. I just retested 24p (see attached StreamParser results) and in-camera playback worked just fine. Don't know what to make of it except the card is a Transcend 16 GB Class 10 and who knows what it can reliably do...

@Bonzai

Thanks for feedback! :-) Also in the feedback from my friend, I have received the report that FSH and HBR of NTSC have no problem. If it is in PAL just, feedback has not been got yet. Of course, although I thought that it could be usable also in PAL, as stated also above, in principle, I gave priority to 24p and made this setting.

Bonzai

Update from the NTSC world :-) : Sorry for incorrectly stating in-camera playback worked. GOLGOP3-13_SednaAQ1C_V2.1 24p and HBR30p..No in camera playback :-( However GOLGOP3-13_SednaAQ1C_V2.1 HBR30p spans :-) This is of no real concern to me as I'm strictly 'armature' and never use in-camera play back. HBR30p spans (bad news if I somehow leave it recording) and Cinema 24p is good for 5 minutes (which is longer than my attention span) :-)

Bonzai

Don't know about PAL but NTSC works fine - or at least Cinema 24p (.99 GB/minute) and HBR 30p (334 MB/Minute) with no write errors and in-camera playback. Haven't tried 720p or 1080i as they are not high on my list video modes. Can't say how spanning works...
