The soft matrices were designed specifically for 1080p24. I doubt that they will translate well to HBR, 1080i, or 720p. The interlaced formats (HBR and 1080i) will probably produce artifacts - particularly in I frames. 720p is already lower in resolution, so the soft matrices will probably make frames a little too soft. These matrices take advantage of encoding characteristics specific to how the GH2 produces 1080p24 video. no attempt was made to generalize them, nor is it likely to be possible to do so with much success.

Of course, others may figure out ways to modify them for other formats that I haven't thought of - but that's another issue.

@bkmcwd - Which version of the soft matrix did you use for the StreamParser screen grab you posted above? The numbers look very good.

I'll be interested in how your settings look because you are using the pure, unmodified matrices for all frame types. This is ideal - as I had intended them to be used. Not that there is anything wrong with modified versions, but I will be interested in how they look in their original forms.

@cbrandin In fact, since the setting used in vimeos stuck upwards has changed Fallback tables, it differs from the newest setting.

@peternap

A lot of these AN settings are using modified matrices, or are not using the soft matrices for some modes. My matrices are intended for 1080p only. I can't really comment on some of these settings.

@all

bkmcwd Valkyrie 444 TYPE-ZERO1 'Apocalypse Now' with cbrandin 'Pure Original 444 Matrix' Released!

Warning! : in this setting, all the modes of AVCHD other than 24p are experimental.

Please keep in mind that artifacts often appears in HBR, 1080i and 720p in spite of being very stable.

These will be improved from now on.

Setting ini file is here : http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/comment/81033#Comment_81033

Please try it! :-)

@exilenorth I am sorry supposing I have overlooked the question from you. I think that either can be used since I recognize it as the function about GH2 being the same in 3.65 and 3.66. :-)

@hi1130 I am glad to have you pleased. :-)

Thanks to the hard working of Chris and Nick!

Hi! @bkmcwd I've used your "valkyrie 444" since August, and am lovin' it very much! (I think it has similar matrix to type zero1, right?) this is a home video which I shot in handheld. So I worry it might not be a suitable sample... but I love the color from your setting.

lens: sigma 30mmf1.4

Next, I'll try your official "valkyrie 444 type zero1". Thanks to you and testers and the hacker VK!

bkmcwd Valkyrie 444 TYPE-ZERO2 Candidate1 & 2 'Apocalypse Now' with cbrandin 'Pure Original 444 Matrix' and ' Modified 444 Matrix' - Setb.ini & Setd.ini - Released 09/09/2012

Since "TYPE-ZERO1" released previously was not good in other than 24p, I made experimental 2 settings for HBR mode.

Two different matrices for 1080i are combined with the candidates 1 and 2, respectively. Both are "the matrices which reduce artifacts which often appeared in HBR of TYPE-ZERO1." However, honestly I cannot judge which is the better. Please try these. And I am very glad if feedback can be got.

Special thanks to @har_k and @syoushow! :-)

Warning! : in these "TYPE-ZERO2 Candidate" settings, all the modes of AVCHD other than 24p are experimental.

Please keep in mind that artifacts may often appears in 720p in spite of being very stable.

These will be improved from now on.

*24p and 720p are the same as TYPE-ZERO1.

visual it looks oke, but.... 720 pal jumps in trickmode?
Profile standard all -2
Lens set to +/-100mm and the tele2 on.... (i use that a lot).
i will up the short 20mb clip

*Trick Mode calculations may be incorrect (Clip < 20 seconds)

i "always" do shorts clip test, never be a problem.
the hbr and 24p are fine, no probs ad all with the same playing time.....

btw, it looks amazing good, i did point to the flowers, with a peace off blue sky and partly out off focus, with some dark parts in the green with a reason, most time in the green it looks bad, but not this time...
i wil play some more with it, and i think i will keep it on my gh2 for a while... ;-)

@bkmcwd it seams like i have fixt it.. i will sent you a pm.
