If all else fails, try Ralph_B's Sanity v5, it is great and super low bitrate and spans forever.
Whatever you do, I hope you are using these cards ONLY as your media for GH2: http://goo.gl/gbQf4
@Driftwood Great patch!!not one crash,but I did have the occasional "can't playback in camera error",no problem just powered down and powered back on and I could view the footage.I tried every mode,very stable in conditions that would have for sure crashed other patches.The IQ is very,very good! 14-45mm,ISO160,SS 50
Thanks guys! This is a very sensitive community! I did what you suggested Nick and I cannot see any in camera preview of this file (on the bottom right corner I see 3/4 "This motion immage cannot be read"). I formatted the SD CARD before installing, also with SD Formatter utility. Nothing to do. I cannot not try to read the file because I'm now on a very old Powerbook in Bolivia, just imagine. Could you please suggest some good patch, that spans correctly, with in camera playback? I was using Quantum 50 until I realized it stopped at around 14 minutes in SL!! Any valid substitute. Tomorrow I'll have some shoot for a documentary with the landless movement in Bolivia.Deep jungle! Please
Thanks Blessing
@strancali @proaudio4 thank you guys : ) It is the CLUSTER 6 - looking like the 4k photo jpegs of the gh2 ; ) @driftwood thanks Nick!
This one is again 24L, 14-42 panny at 42mm with the ExTele on and higher iso(320,400?), holds pretty good I think.
@davidemar Its becoming a bit of a rule on 64Gb 95mbps cards on many settings with bitrates over 60M this: Always record a small file after a long span. Otherwise try this. Switch off, remove battery/take sd card out, battery back in after a few secs, turn on then sdcard back in - hit play. See if that works. Try and get at least a few secs of preview... let me know.
ALSO DON'T PUT SETTINGS .bin FILES ON THE SAME CARD YOU INTEND TO RECORD WITH.
The files you recorded will be fine copied over onto the computer (remember to copy the entire Private folder from the sd card over to a folder on the hard drive). Should playback in OSX Movist/Windows WMP (with K-lite codec pack installed) fine and of course on your chosen NLE.
Just to prove it here's a really boring 1 hour 11 minute span on Cluster 24p.
@WinkleJon Try Cluster v6 - it should provide stable results for you.
I've been shooting stills and factory video settings w my GH2 since 2010. However I'm brand new to video and though I've been following this forum for a while I still am figuring it out as I go. I finally hacked my firmware with the Globular patch and tried shooting with my Nokton 25mm 0.95 lens. At first I used a SanDisk class 10 30MB. The camera froze in Cinema mode w/ 24H settings. I dropped my battery and set it to 24L and it worked OK. I just bought a SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB class 10 95MBs. So far I seem to be able to record in Cinema mode at either 24H or 24L. However my GH2 freezes and says recording stopped to to limitations of writing speed of the card when I use S, A or Manual modes. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need and even faster card? Or should I test a gentler hack?
@jhero great little film there! Makes you think about what's essential and the short time to get it done :)
@pop24 You're sure you used gh2 for that? ; )
Back to the topic, just a few screen grabs from Cluster v6. It is sharp in the nicest way possible! standard all -2, iso 160, AWB.
1 is 24H 2 and 3 - 24L .
Here's how I see it guys, a top of the line card is a must have. Think of it as part of your kit. If you're using stock gh2, no problem but if you want into the hack game, it's the most important piece of hardware in your arsenal. This is not the time to be "cheap". Save money on other things but not the very thing that will cost you a re-shoot. That will end up being more than $180 in the long run.
On those insane patches you REALLY need to use the 64 GB Extreme Pro card. Something about better sustained data rates, if memory serves.
Could someone be kind enough to tell me the difference between Cluster V6 and the latest Quantum v9b/Sedna Mtx? I know the Quantum has higher br. Which would be more appropriate for nature shots, water and fine details? Guessing Quantum....while Cluster is more streamlined/optimized setting? I'll definitely test both.
Hey guys,
I tried today cluster 6 and cluster 5. Both record for more than 50min/1 hour but I'm not able to see preview with the error "This motion cannot be played". I can see preview with small files instead, 7-15 seconds? Is it a span problem? I did my test in a dark room, high iso, SH and SL, with a Sandisk extreme PRO 64 Giga 95mbs. Is there something wrong with my camera/card?
