If anyone wants to share uncompressed video - you can use http://www.sendoid.com/ to instantly share very large files (download their Adobe Air client that work on any platform). Of course you need good connection as it uses p2p tech.
The first second is pretty much useless - the blip is fairly extreme. Who cares, though? Just think of yourself as a hotshot IMAX camera operator - you have to wait for the camera to come up to speed and then you yell "SPEED". Come to think of it, an IMAX camera can't come up to speed as fast as the GH2VK. Therefore the GH2VK outperforms the IMAX! WOW! Ok, so it's a little out of context...
@Blowup I'm forced to use a MacBook Pro for the last few weeks and PTool+Wine works fine for me. I've used PTool to create firmware for both my TS7 and GH2 without any issue.
@Blowup, PTool on Mac works for me running CrossOver. Not free, but lets you open the .exe without having to emulate an entire Windows environment like in VMWare or Parallels.
@Vitaliy_Kiselev, If you badly need this first second, sit and wait until we'll understand why this happens :-) OK, I am sit and wait until yuo understand why this happens :-) I can help just click - Buy Now. ... Thank you for your work!
Any advice for mac users? I can't get it going! The ptool works, i think as I can save a file, but GH2 will not recognize it. I always get error message. What am I doing wrong? Is Wine reliable?
First attempt to high the bitrate of 720p50: - 30 min pal/Ntsc SH bitrate 35000 Gop size 21 Bottom 20.000
Everything seems ok in a medium detailed scene with low light at 1600 iso.
A little higher bitrate: 48.000 gop 15 Bottom 30000
Here the bottom is still around 20000 maybe because the scene is too simple and static. Then i moved to another subject (not as complex as a garden with grass or trees but with a good amount of detail... here is night time!).
