Panasonic GM1 official topic
@Vitaliy_Kiselev curiously enough BHPhoto and Adorama and Unique Photo and other US websites list Panasonic GM1 as both NTSC/PAL But, my other question is if 25P mode on PAL versions is the real 25p or just wrapped in 50i?

Is GM1 a world camera, PAL/NTSC? I've read that the 25P mode is really wrapped in 50i stream. Perhaps, in Europe or Asia the 25P is really 25P? Or it the same everywhere? Thank you!

5dtoRGB and GH3 transcoding
I dont have the latest Apple computer and I know that h264 files not that friendly toward slower systems. That's why I transcode them to ProRes.

More samples... I was hoping that at least 5dtoRGB wouldn't mess up my footage, but this is really bad.

5dtoRGB and GH3 transcoding
Something very disconcerting is happening with GH3 footage. I've been transcoding the footage with Broadcast Range thinking that there would be no change, but the resulting footage is a lot more contrasty than the original. This is really bad…

5dtoRGB and GH3 transcoding
Since I need to match the files I shot on both GH3 and GH2, I opted for transcoding with Broadcast Range. They both look similar to my eye right away. When I transcoded with Full Range, Gh2 files looked "flat" and GH3 files didn't …

Thanks. I've read many different posts all over the net so I'm a bit confused what's best. Some mention the benefits of full range other are against. I might go with Broadcast Range, just to be safe. But, I would still like to f…

5dtoRGB and GH3 transcoding
These are screenshots of the original GH2 mts file and transcoded file. There is a huge difference. So, the software does give flatter image with GH2 but not with GH3. EDIT: I just noticed that I named the screenshots incorrectly. Files names…

Personally, I never cared about RAW. I'd love to have a robust, professional codec, 422 or 444, 10 bit would be great on a prosumer DSLR. If that doesn't happen, Blackmagic ProRes is now here for $3K. If you wait a bit you can get Black…

@onionbrain this is so wonderful to hear that you used hacked GH2 for such high profile work. I'ts really inspiring. I'm starting to work on a documentary for an European TV station, but filmed in the US. Would you be so kind to share wh…

@cjdincer sony SDHC cards are cheaper than SanDisk as well. Although haven't tried them myself http://www.amazon.com/Sony-UHS-1-Memory-SF64UX-TQ/dp/B008PO60F2 94mb/s read, but doesn't specify write speed

@cjdincer yes, it's 32GB 45mb/s. I just got home and trying to copy the private folder using my home computer. So far it looks that it will complete the job! Perhaps it was the hard drive on the other Mac? I'm keeping my fingers crosse…

Best setting for PAL 1080P25 shooting
@towi hi towi, sorry just another question. Is 25P on GH2 native or is it still wrapped in 50i? When I check the files they say 25P, but does that mean it's native or wrapped in 50i? I know that previously it was only possible to shoot 25P …

@towi Thanks towi. In the midst of trying to figure out the technicalities, I myself forgot that I was asking a recommendation for a patch that works best with PAL/25P. :) So thanks again for directly referring to that part of my initial question.…

@towi @driftwood Thanks a lot. What do you think of Xluster X Slipstream? I don't really get the final difference between these patches. Is there anything really specific about them that I should know? Thanks
