Thank you]]> https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/485/cascading-multiple-ini-files Mon, 25 Jul 2011 11:53:30 +0000 stoney 485@/talks/discussions
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to load ini setting files in cascading manner? e.g. Load 1st file containing general & overall setting, 2nd file containing 1080p settings, 3rd file containing 720p acvhd, 4th file containing mjpeg settings. Latter file overrides any duplicating properties.]]> https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/457/playback-issues-with-premiere-exported-footage Fri, 22 Jul 2011 00:32:13 +0000 azza_act 457@/talks/discussions Preset: H.264 HDTV 24p
1920x 1080p
Fps: 23.976
VBR: 2 pass
Target bit rate: 32
Max: 40
I've used this settings with the GH2 for six months, never had any issues. Now, when Pr finishs exporting i can play the H.264 file back in window 7 media palyer, no issues. But when i play it on both of my WD media players via my USB key, on one WD palyer its doesn't work at all and on the other is freezes on heavy pans of trees and the footage is just overall jerky (all of the footage was shot handheld, 24h. but on the PC it's fine)
Is it my export setting or hardware? ( hardware being the PS3 and WD players, which i'm worried about cos i can't use that hack on pro jobs fearful that the client doesn't have to correct/latest gear to watch the footage on. I give some of my clients H.264 files so they can watch on there TVs, computers and media players)

Any thoughts?

cheers

Is there a limit with the amount of "re-flashes" you can do with the firmware? Will it lose reliability at any point like a SD card? ]]> https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/424/gh2-avchd-encoder-motion-testing Tue, 19 Jul 2011 13:46:16 +0000 cbrandin 424@/talks/discussions
Shutter speed will be an important consideration, as the slower it is the more blurring (and the less detail) there will be. At fast shutter speeds minute detail will change considerably between frames.

With a static scene I frames dominate, and B and P frames don't play much of a role so quality improvements concerning those won't show up.

I'm going to play with this a bit. In the meantime - any thoughts?

I'd love to see such a feature, it would make testing much faster and avoid need to keep updating with a new firmware when settings are changed.]]> https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/376/gh1-1080p25-settings-for-class-6-cards Wed, 13 Jul 2011 03:57:40 +0000 Londonmark 376@/talks/discussions
I'm currently using the reliable 2 patch and it's great - works perfectly with class my 6 cards - huge thanks to Vitaly and lpowell. However, I'd love to get rid of the 50i wrapper. Is there some combination of the max latitude patch and the reliable 2 patch that would let me do that? I saw back in June that lpowell was thinking about it, but there doesn't seem to be any update. Sorry if I've missed something...

I'm attempting to apply the GH1 hack on my camera using a mac. I've downloaded the hack as well as wine and wine bottler. When I click on ptool3.exe, I get a message that says "You are about open a wine file, what would you like to do?" I click "Go" and nothing happens. Wine bottler is definately running because it's icon is at the top of the screen. However, PTool never runs. Ha anyone esle run ito this? Advice.

P.S.
I'm using a macbook with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 6 GB memory.

Any help running Ptool on my mac would be helpful.]]> https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/251/can-the-gh1-go-faster-than-60-fps Sun, 19 Jun 2011 05:46:39 +0000 jefforig 251@/talks/discussions Is it possible to speed up the fps faster than 60 fps in the GH1?

Is there a patch out there I can load?
Anyone have luck with this?

@Lpowell have you experimented with this? I would be interested to know your findings.

Plus, I am not talking about using Twixtor, Optical Flow, or After Effects. I want true in-camera speed. Then I can manipulate later with software.

Thanks.]]> https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/236/manual-video-using-dedicated-video-shutter Wed, 15 Jun 2011 21:29:15 +0000 zcream 236@/talks/discussions
Here the shutter does not work as it seems to only activate the shutter button not the video record.

Would Vitaliy consider allowing us to map the shutter button to take video in the manual video mode ?]]> https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/200/stills-side-of-the-hacked-gh1 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 17:45:06 +0000 010101 200@/talks/discussions i just received my new GH1 haven't even opened the box yet. this is the first of three other GH1 and eventually GH2 i am going to get and hack as soon as the GH2 hack will be available.
i shoot a lot of stills on the same camera and lens along side of the video footage to be used in the edits later. My questions is; how the hack will effect the stills side of the GH1 / GH2 ? Can i use a hacked GH1 for shooting stills as it was prior to the hack ?

It just says "changes bracketing settings to multiple exposure function", but how is "bracketing" different than "multiple exposure", as in an unhacked GH1 when you use the bracketing, it is taking multiple photos at different exposure levels, so they imply the same thing, so I need a clearer explanation from someone who understands what is actually going on and what is changing by enabling this setting choice.

Also as far as I know the GH1 does not combine the photos taken when bracketing into one hdr image, correct? So why would the note say "interface working but image combining not working"? Does that mean Vitaliy is attempting to turn the bracketing function into an auto hdr photo creating mode? If that could be possible it would be very high on my list as it would be amazing to have that feature instead of using something like photomatix to do the combining of all the multiple exposures taken in the (unhacked) bracketing mode into one hdr jpeg.

Thanks]]>
