Try to use higher increment for version match.

@sanzadez to save: hold down shift whilst clicking the 'J' button for setj

Fix them with the Panasonic AVCHD repair utility- (just google it)

Also- to get best conversion use 5DTORGB- its SERIOUSLY better...

PS: I don't think you would need to fix them for the 5DTORGB software to work. Only for FCP.
But I don't like the FCP internal AVCHD engine- it looks WAY to dark and I feel like it loses details + the files are SMALLER than the MT2 originals! Go figure!

Is it possible to get auto iso to work when in M exposure mode, so it will meter, and set the ISO accordingly, for still photographs.

I am the second or third person to ask for this, right here in this thread, and neither of us got a reply.

Vitaliy, please tell us no, if that is the answer.

Is it possible to hack the slowest allowed shutter speed, in A mode, with flash on? Right now it defaults to 1/60 second.

@mee

First be sure you are logged in to personal-view forums, visit the patch vault thread, download the patch you want by right clicking on the icon and selecting "save link as". It will save a .zip to wherever you specify. Now un-zip that and place the .ini file in your ptools directory (the same folder your ptools software is in). The file will be named seta.ini, setb.ini, setc.ini, etc. Now open ptools and you can see along the bottom one of your a, b, c, presets are green. For example if you have setj.ini then in ptools the "J" icon will be green. You can click on that letter to load those settings, then save a new firmware file, put that new firmware file on your sd card and update your camera like you already did. Hope this helps.

@jazzwalker try putting your card into the camera and format it from inside the camera. Then take out the card and put it into the SD slot of your computer and put your OWN Gh1__13X.bin file into the root directory of the SD card.
Make sure that your battery is full when you begin the hack.

Also if you connect your GH1 with your computer through USB and try to upload your .bin file like that, it won't work - it won't allow you to upload files into the card. Your computer must either have an SD slot, or you should get a USB flash card reader (that was my mistake few months ago).

@zeston What you need help with zesto? =)

BTW can someone point to me where is the stable 88meg gop3 or the famous driftwood 100meg aquamotion, i believe. Thanks in advance

@alcomposer Thanks for the info, found the famous 'Aquamotion' A 1080p24 the AQ2 INTRA 100M 80% speed (30p) from driftwood =)
But any idea on the 88meg gop3 ?

@kronstadt

With about 99.9% answer is no.
It requires almost full rewrite of encoder, and, most probably, hardware LSI changes.

thanks @Vitaliy_Kiselev, and sorry on starting separate topics on questions which I thought were not covered (cause I googled in advance)

My next question is as follows:

The 2X crop factor is the greatest annoyance with GH1 and GH2, which also means that a whole lot needs to be spent on super wide lenses in order to get a shot just wide enough. One way to battle that is to use Anamorphic adaptors, and those cost an arm and a leg, and are very difficult to handle (imagine follow-focusing both the lens and the anamorphic adaptor simultaneously; or imagine having to remove and re-attach the anamorphic adapter every time you change a lens).

It is possible to record AVCHD 1080p (height). But what is the maximum WIDTH of the video that can be recorded with GH13 and GH2? Are we limited to 1920, or is it possible to go wider with some sort of a hack/patch? Would it be possible to record 1080x2581 for example? That's the industry standard 2.39:1 aspect ratio that we get in most Hollywood and DVD productions these days.

If it would be possible, it would mean that those folks who don't have the fortune to afford anamorphic lenses, can still use their existing lenses and produce a picture that is at least in the same aspect ratio as cinema standard (albeit without the oouie flares and anamorphic bokeh). The other major benefit would be that a 20mm lens can be used as a ~27mm, rather than a 40mm.

I noticed here http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/comment/5200#Comment_5200 that @sioppa was recording at 3840 x 1080

Is it currently possible? if yes, how? if not, is it in development?

@LucasAdamson
FAQ would be nice, but they never seem to happen for cameras. Probably because by the time the info crystallizes and becomes FAQable, a new model comes out rendering the FAQ obsolete.

Live wiev problem with recording. ONLY 1080i while live view on. read down for info.

My camera is pal by default. When i instaled the hack, i got all the good stuff but the problem is i also got some problems.

I use live view on it and its not working for pal, only ntsc. Problem is that no mather whad mode i wish to record the video is always 1080/60i. I tried to set it to 720p, switched on the hdmi for liveview and recorded. Checked the file info and it was 1080i/60.
If i go movie mode i get 1080p/24.

Is there any way that i can use live view and still record 720p. And i saw like 3 posts that said this is not true that hdmi out and recording are not connected but belive me its true. When u plug in the hdmi, the setting for 1080i or 720 are not awalible.

Help plx
