    @stonebat and @ rlima

    Thanks for the information.

  • rlimarlima

    @mpgxsvcd I read somewhere it was going to be next Vitaliy's approach..

  • stoneystoney

    Nope.

  • mpgxsvcdmpgxsvcd

    Can someone confirm whether this version of PTool will allow the G3 and GX1 to have manual controls during movie recording? I could not find a confirmation of that anywhere.

  • OASYSOASYS

    Something strange. I used Driftwood's GalaXian patch and recorded the MP4 video, which is failed ICP. Then, I downgraded the firmware with my lower bitrate setting (AVCHD high bitrate only). I can playback the same MP4 file (higher bitrate) in camera. It seems that something is linked to the playback mode by Ptool. BTW, the GalaXian patch is really impressive! Well done.:-D

    Download latest firmware from panasonic. Download PTool v3.66d, load firmware, open Patches for end users -> Interface and check All Interface Languages. Save firmware and name it e.g. GX1___14.bin copy to SD card and update firmware normal way (power up camera, press Play button and confirm update). After update you will be able to change language to whatever you need...

    Hello, any simple instructions to change my Lumix GX1X japanese menu into a spanish one? Thanks (I'm quite amateur in that)

    @fatpig

    Yes, of course.

  • fatpigfatpig

    MP4 is GX1-only, is that right? :)

  • adamquesadaadamquesada

    Where can I find PTool v3.65d?, I'm still using v3.64d '200212'. What's new in v.3.66d beta?

    Hi..i´m new at this forum..i have a G3 and did the firmwareupdate with mr JOFO ´S settings ,the camera did update but the version number still says 1.2..(i did download and install the latest panasonic firmware on the camera 1.2 about 4 weeks ago) how do i know that my new firmware that i named 1.3 is on my camera?..everything looks like it done before...

  • OASYSOASYS

    This setting is based on Cbrandin"32M" for FSH mode. Not so high bitrate but It works perfectly on GX1 and in-camera-playback of MP4 is passed.

    I tested it with NTSC video.

    I don't seem to see an option to enable manual mode for any of the firmwares I've loaded into PTool. Am I missing something?

    Otherwise everything works fine, with the above caveats (MP4 playback, etc)

    EDIT: Apologies, just read the G3 hack forum and understand now.

  • JOFOJOFO

    I'm posting my working settings here too, in case G3 topic will move down in the list :) Based on driftwood's GalaXian settings. Edit: found an issue so use uewer sete.ini

    Nick Driftwood, any chance to apply the 'GalaXian' settings to G3 ? I'm a relative newbie to hacking, but a Driftwood patch for the G3 is what i was hoping for.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    *** NEW *** Driftwood 'GalaXian'. 12/15 GOP

    Here's the GX1 cluster variation provisionally entitled 'GalaXian' setting. Everything is souped up to Cluster v6 GH2 levels but set at 56M all round max, Q target is 18. You probably won't reach those dizzy heights. This features the Cluster v6 scaling matrix set on AVCHD modes. I don't think MP4 mode at level 66 baseline uses the scaling matrices as checked in ptools and Streameye Pro confirms this with matrices = n/a (not applicable) in the headers.

    There is NO in-camera playback of MP4 modes at present but they look dramatically better than the stock recordings, AVCHD is unaffected and playsback.

    Also features superior audio from @thepalalias at 'pasadenapulse.net'.

    Test it out and see how you get on. Who knows, one day, we may get the in-camera playback resolved?! For now I continue testing...

    UPDATE: In this release PAL works, NTSC may freeze and is being sorted in the next revision.

    I'll test!

  • OASYSOASYS

    If I modify the setting of audio bitrate for MP4, say from 128Kbps to 192Kbps, GX1 can no longer record the video in MP4 format. It just instantly stops when pressing the recording button. Nothing found in the folder.

    Cheers:-)

    I meant official version :)

    Still do not understand you.

    PTool is publically available.

    Of course, it is beta, as we need to figure out this MP4 stuff.

  • stoneystoney

    I meant official version :)

    @stonebat

    I have a suggestion. Just release it as a final patch

    Sorry? What is "final patch" ?

    Did you noticed words "public beta" ?
