@driftwood. Nick, I have always been a fan of Sedna A Q20 setting for 24P and I agree that nothing beats GOP1 for 24p. I have been using a Sedna A Q20-Sanity hybrid for a while but I like what I see in Cluster v2e for 1080i/HBR/720p. I was contemplating to do a Sedna A Q20-Cluster V2 and a Sedna A Q20-FM 2.01 hybrid which you call it Crossfire now. I think you can do a much better and thorough job of it than I can. When can I expect the Crossfire setting for Sedna-Clv2? I am willing to be an early adopter and test it.

I don't think there would be any advantage to having a quantization value of less that 4, after factoring in the scaling tables. A quantization value of 4 produces 255 possible levels, which is the most an 8 bit codec can represent. Quantization values lower than 4 really only offer an advantage with 10-bit codecs.

@driftwood, I think i'm going to print a t-shirt with the beginning of this page. Congratulations. Thank you for everybody's work. Your are really generous.

v2f will just turbocharge v2e with its auto quant set to 4 (more to details) since GOP6 as a GOP is quite underpowered... Its an ages old aid developed by cbrandin to maintain low Q attempts on the fly.

I spent a lot of time with Cluster V2A and Flow Motion V2,1 last night and more of today. I need to work on it a lot more..... then do the same to Cluste 2e.

Image wise in perfect conditions they both seem about the same, Flow Motion seems to have deeper colors for the same settings. Since I do nearly 100% run and gun, performance in various conditions are key factors. At night, Flow Motion seems a lot cleaner but I think it's because it's crushing the blacks. Today while grabbing a few quick shots under a shelter, there was a lot of noise with Flow Motion and there shouldn't have been.

So..I need to sit down and strip some channels in order to figure out what's going on. The daytime footage of Cluster 2A in the shelter is very clean.

@driftwood where are the other canis patches which you said will be released soon in your previous post.

Question for @driftwood, @cbrandin. Auto quantisation ranges from 0-4, 0 being all to motion and 4 being all to detail. Should there be a balance between motion and detail? How does quantisation of 16 currently used in Cluster v2e rank in comparison to AQ 0-4?

@zaven13

AQ automatically calculates the Q value based on increase in bitrate - it can result in almost any Q value. As for balancing motion and detail - that depends on what you are shooting.

Hello, sry in advance for a noob question but when I record in HBR mode with Mysterion Burst, I only get 85mbs/s? Am I doing something wrong? :/ Regards.

@driftwood whats the best type of sd card to use with your hacks?

@driftwood would a 45mb 64gb card work great with the 176mb hack?

@driftwood would the 90mb be a better choice?
