ALl-I Or IPB on MKIII?

[maarek]

I concur with JCS. Coming from a 7d, I was shocked how much better 720p at all-I looked. It's now actually usable We did some explosions and fast camera work last sunday, 5d held up great. All-I doesn't break up with fast motion and that's great.

It'd always been ALL-I. Find one expert who recommends IPB. Andrew Reid was very influential when he raised the 'fizzy' thing, it's just like when one person looked up in the sky, everybody looks up. But he never recommended IPB. IPB's for long events recording.

I don't need an expert to tell me what to do, if I can test it myselfm, or watch somebody else's tests. And the tests on this thread are pretty conclusive: on shots with little movement, IPB is cleaner.

It's going steadily, most of the basic shooting features are now working on 5D3, Canon changed the code on bitrate a lot so we are still working on that, so far we were able to push VBR up to 122Mbps under extreme ISO12800.

So it's been about a month... Just wondering what kind of progress you guys have made and when you think you may have a release? Thanks!

Hi everybody...
ok, so 8 months later, what's the verdict? All-I or IPB?


Any new thoughts or discoveries?

[maarek]

You've already posted that question in three different threads here...

[ShannonRawls]

Yes maarek, with 3 different audiences who'll each get different notifications.
I apologize for trolling. It won't happen again.

It's not a troll. The question still seems unsettled for many. The problem is that I think you have to go out and test it yourself and do what looks best for YOU - I see so many "conclusions" by folks and then go look at what they actually do with footage and it's ridiculously bad, so you can't trust their judgement. For myself, I just shot an interview with a 5DIII and used IPB. It looked amazingly good compared to first gen canon, but there's so many factors - lens, light, subject.

I feel ya.
Actually, I think the reason there hasn't been much chatter about this subject in 8 months is because the difference is so negligible, it's not worth talking about anymore. :-)
