@ Silent users of my settings :-)

I release new "GOLGOP3-13-MAX_SednaAQ1C_Standard_BETA1" setting.

I think that recording will stop shortly after not making especially 720/60p moderate so far. Since the I frame became quite small with 6GOP in 720/60p, I returned to 9GOP.

Stability (don't stop during recording) is thought as important especially in my settings.

*Deblocking tables are substituted by your liking.

Although the performance under lowlight is not different from a normal version, the image quality in the scene which requires high stress improves in this MAX version. However, with MAX version, playback in camera may not often be available in 24p. This is because the maximum frame size which can be played back by GH2 may be exceeded. Of course, the file which cannot be played back in camera can also be satisfactorily played in PC. Supposing you consider that the playback in a camera is important, I will not recommend you this setting.　Please use normal version. However, IQ of MAX version is better than normal versions especially in high stressed scene, IMO.

Special thanks to @driftwood. :-)

Please try it!

*Of course, already combined with excellent audio tune @thepalalias's "Pasadena_Pulse_Audio_V2_Beta2"

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 super mega size I-frames.

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

*In PAL Mode, I especially recommend you use with SanDisk 95MB/s 64GB SDXC card strongly.

*In camera playback is sometimes not available in 24p. In other mode, Sometimes available after reboot the camera.(Not tested full yet, but probably)

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

*Spanning in 24H, 24L with SanDisk 95MB/s 64GB SDXC Card. In other mode, need test.

*Spanning in other cards needs to be tested.

Please download original raw data from vimeo and check actual IQ.

i just returned from japan. I used your setting golgop3 natural for a bunch of stuff there so that I could conserve space compared to the higher bitrate driftwood settings. Your patch did very well. Thank you.

@kndkndknd

Thanks for testing my settings! :-)

@driftwood

I realized now that the second half of your comment is added...

Although I have tried before the setting in which the B frame becomes large relatively, I am never pleased with I frame size becoming small too much. By such a reason, I am looking for the setting that the size of the I frame does not fall as much as possible, now.

Thanks again! :-)

@karl

Many thanks for detailed comparison test in FM2 thread! :-)

I think that the result may change by the difference in Deblocking Tables. I am just still going to improve further more. Please tell me the point which you noticed anything, thanks.

@LPowell Film mode was CINEMA[+2.-2.+1.-2] when it froze. Not with test chart but real fine textiles under the halogen bulb.

Although the frozen direct cause is not known, I think whether the bit rate was too high.

@bkmcwd GH2 Memory. Not enough for 60 frames per second. That is why.

As soon as you go over Max GOP Size of 1,000,000 Bytes youre in troubled waters.

You have to try and divide up the frames in the GOP accordingly - and that means allocating x to i frames, x to P/b frames - its like dividing up the pie. Once youre happy with whatever frame limit/ FBs, etc... keep tweaking 'GOP Related' together with increments/decrements in quantisation and encoder setting 720p ... but notice when B frames look great, i frames begin to get lower!

Fun game eh?! ;-)

@karl Thanks for testing my setting! :-)

"Using this opportunity, I did some IQ comparison shots, I just posted them in the FlowMotion 2 thread."

I am looking forward to seeing the result very much.

"Regarding beta6: Are you sure that a higher bitrate for 720p60 is worth the risk to have the same problem that FM 2.01 still has? I mean: Can you actually see a better IQ for 720p60 in beta6 than in beta5?"

60p of FM2.01 was immediately frozen also in my test. BETA5 and BETA6 of me do not stop in the same test. For the moment in MY view, I think that around 53M is the limit of 60p. The efforts for raising IQ in the limit are continued. Although I have already begun the next improvement with another approach, I think that BETA6 is better than BETA5.

@LPowell

60p of FM2.01 was immediately frozen also in my test with pany 14-45mm F5.6 SS1/60 ISO1600. Why does only 60p of GH2 have so low tolerance?

@LPowell: Not yet. The next chance may be some time away (has to be noon again, sun & wind present...), can you already recommend a more specific setting (as in: exposure mode A, S, or M)?

I installed GOP3ZILLA-MAX_Standard_V2_BETA5 right after I had tried FlowMotion 2.01 (which still has a 720p60 stopping issue for me).

Using this opportunity, I did some IQ comparison shots, I just posted them in the FlowMotion 2 thread.

Regarding beta6: Are you sure that a higher bitrate for 720p60 is worth the risk to have the same problem that FM 2.01 still has? I mean: Can you actually see a better IQ for 720p60 in beta6 than in beta5?

@safari Thanks! :-)

I am always using DIY SteadiCam currently displayed on my profile.

@ Silent users of my settings again :-)

I release new "GOP3ZILLA-MAX_Standard_V2_BETA5" setting.

*The difference from BETA3 is only 720/60p.

*The BETA4 is not good.

I think that recording will stop shortly after not making especially 720/60p moderate so far. Since the I frame became quite small with 6GOP in 720/60p, I returned to 9GOP.

Stability (don't stop during recording) is thought as important especially in my settings.

The stability of FSH, HBR, and SH were improved in this BETA5. And, in this setting, bitrate is slightly improved from BETA3.

*Deblocking tables are substituted by your liking.

Although the performance under lowlight is not different from a normal version, the image quality in the scene which requires high stress improves in this MAX version. However, with MAX version, playback in camera may not often be available in 24p. This is because the maximum frame size which can be played back by GH2 may be exceeded. Of course, the file which cannot be played back in camera can also be satisfactorily played in PC. Supposing you consider that the playback in a camera is important, I will not recommend you this setting.　Please use normal version. However, IQ of MAX version is better than normal versions, IMO.

UPDATE(2012/06/01): I release new "GOP3ZILLA-MAX_Standard_V2_BETA5" setting.http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/comment/66232#Comment_66232
