Can someone please advise me on why moon T7 does not span when shooting in the HBR 25p mode (at least in my camera)? It stops at 4.29 GB. While it spans perfectly when shooting in 24p. I am using a Sandisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s 64GB card, and am new using patches and would really appreciate some help. thanks

@Nameless Very cool video. Liked the story. Masks were cool. Like how guy twirled his girl when they got into vault. Watched on phone so YouTube butchered image quality but I'll def check on computer when I get home. Shot composition and editing was great too. Thanks for posting.

@matt_gh2 thanks for taking time to watch and let me know your thoughts...it definitely looks better on the big screen but I'll let you be the judge. Thanks again

drewnet t9 part 2

Hello all. I have read much of the thread here. Its amazing to see the dedication and interest of everyone, especially those directly involved in developing the different hacks like driftwood et al.. And I should thank you all for the detailed info placed here which is enormously helpful for someone like me who's new to this 'world' of GH2 hacks. I am video artist, and somehow ignorant about all the technical things here. I've been trying the 'moon T7" on my GH2 this past few days. It runs and spans perfectly in the 24p mode, but somehow stops recording in HBR 25p after a few minutes. I am using scandisk extreme pro 95mb/s 64GB. Has anyone here face the same issue? Should I rather use a different hack, like T9, T6 or T5? (I should say that the T7's image quality in 24p is simply amazing.) I would really appreciate some help. Thanks a lot!!

@babak, you are not the only one with that problem. Somehow HBR and FSH/SH are more demanding on resources when it comes to spanning and cause write failure. This problem is not specific to T7. Other hacks can fail on HBR also. As you may have noticed on the previous page, @driftwood mentioned that he is working on T8 to address some of these issues. The way I have addressed this problem is to experience with bitrate manipulation (reduction) until I get HBR to span or use FH/H modes if I need longer recording periods.

@Alex_K and @Zaven13 thank you for your replies. Its good to know I am not the only one with the T7 / HBR issue. I still have to try T9 and see how that works for me. I was really impressed by T7's low light performance in 24p (my thanks to @driftwood!). I hope T9 low light performance is the same in HBR 25p. @Zaven13 do you mean you can reduce the HBR bitrate and make it span? If so, how do you do that? I never thought that's possible. Anyhow meanwhile I'll wait for the T8 hack.

@DFuture what card where you using? Sandisk Extreme 64gig 95M/bs? If not, then that maybe why you were getting card errors.

I used Moon T7 (sete) on all day event; shot with a Voigtlander 17.5mm and canon FD 50mm 1.4; inside shots (at a hotel with tons of foliage, inside a bar, lotsa night shots) and outside shots (landscapes, portraits); and I used EXT Tele on 1080p, and I used 720p for slow motion shots, yadda yadda yadda - Moon T7 stable as a rock for me and looks superb! I used the Sandisk 64gb extreme pro cards (95 MB/b) AAAAND Sandisk 16gb Extreme cards(30 MB/s). I had a backup Canon 5D Mark II just in case the settings failed... never had to touch the Canon. Still happy with Driftwood's settings; still happy with my GH2. Once I get this edited, I'll post some shots and video, Salud, Vitaly - thank you.

@all

Pick no more than 2 of those "items" if you want your gh2 to be 100% reliable:

• panasonic (SW-corrected) lenses and/or Intelligent Auto
• very detailed scenes
• "demanding" settings like Moon T7
