ITs not about the compression, or the bitrates, or even the curves you can achieve and have a grate perceived dynamic range. Its not about nothing of that.
The patches Driftwood manage to make, how he handled the matrices 4x4 no 8x8 matrices...dammnit even 2x2 if its possible on h264, the difference its clear. The looks is clear.
Please vitaliy, opening a film stock world again by hacking this Gh4 beast is something good for the masses.
Its not about performance any more, its about better image.
I just want to know the status. It seems pretty obvious now that its not happening, but its silly that he, knowing how much people want it and are STILL waiting, wont give a definitive "Sorry guys, its not happening". Why are we still in the dark about this? Is it a fun game for him?
@RRRoger, Panasonic released the new firmware 1.1 only with 'Improved the reliability of video recording performance'.
Ill chime in to add to @mrbill and @Trumpetman. It would be great to know if we should keep waiting for a GH3 hack or not. I havent seen any definitive "yes" or "no" about if it is in progress still, just little secretive hints here and there. It doesnt matter either way, just tell us!
GH4 dont need hack (may be RAW for video), hack for GX7 and GM1 (let me dream).
Yes, GH3 hack is what is needed. Is it going to happen?
One that people always ask is all this 30min stupid stuff :-)
@endotoxic - driftwood posted early on that the GH4 in 200mbs mode was blowing away anything he'd done with a hack on the GH2. So why do you need one? The camera that needs the high-bit rate love is the GH3, and it would be great to get a progress update on how the hack for that is progressing.
Of course not.
GH3 has much more need of a hack than the GH4
We need to hack into your skills and improve that first ;-)
