Though I agree, a GH2 with those specs would sell like hot cakes.

I mentioned traffic testing earlier (before/after of cars passing at a likely constant speed). Another thought - a shot (close) of an object on a rotating record turntable, before and after. This would be likely to be indoors so low light would be an interesting extra element. Something absolutely scientific would be good to see, so nobody can say the playing field wasn't level.
The worst example of mud I've personally ever seen from my own footage was doing a follow pan on close passing traffic. Not only was the background muddy but the cars relatively static in the frame were rendered "impressionist". Another interesting before/after test there.
Yes, I should try stuff myself. But I'll have to get a faster card first - and donate!

Well that's exciting news. i can leave my 24p patch unchecked and just drop it into premiere. i never knew that. thanks.

Okay, one last tidbit for you folks -- the 24pN footage plays on a blu-ray player! It doesn't play back in camera, but it sure did when I put it in my blu-ray and played it on my 67" DLP TV. It will probably work from a PS3 as well.
Now, with that said, I have 30 clips that look pretty much amazingly fantastic, and one that's glitchy (pulsing fuzzy every half second). This thread isn't about glowing results, it's about research and fixing things, so I'll post the glitchy clip in this thread for tester13 to evaluate; any further discussion of great footage should take place in the other "mud free" thread.

We have some illusory chanse to use sensore mode 1 for MJPEG encoding to get about 2500x880 resolution at 30fps.
I don't know if this have any advantage for filming pros.

too bad about the increased (60p) framerate in 1080 mode... who knows though what may be discovered down the road

I really appreciate for your work on DSLR usage in filming.
But suggest not to use Andrew Raid materials on your site, like current one.
ask any of our active testers or Barry Green if you want fast qualified answer.
Andrew material is just 33% copy&paste, 33% looks like useless, 33% holy crap. Like all this MJPEG 1920 true resolution :-) He is not accurate and no one really thrusts his opinion. And if anyone thrusts it is usially Andrew himself under different nickname (I remember like 5 or 6).

Also, I might expect improvement in areas such as video autofocus and such... so long story short there's plenty of avenues for improvement to make the GH2 worthwild. Even if they improve on all those other areas and still crap out on the compression routines... it'll still be okay because you can expect a slew of donations on your future GH2 patch thread ;)

80Mbits 720 is better than 50Mbits 1080. The bottle neck isn't my cards. 1080 for some reason can't do 80mbits, however 720 has worked flawless for me. My 720P footage looks great. I think the buffer settings might be wrong on the 1080 Mjpeg patch. The GH1 has no issue writing 70 to 80mbits to a class ten. However when it's a 1080 frame and not a 720 at the same Mbits bandwidth, the camera stops stops on the 1080 of the same material after a few seconds while the 720 just goes and goes with the same test shot and mbits. Weird....
Also if you load a lower 50ishmbits code, the 720 performs as it does, however still the 1080 can't do it. If you keep your 1080 at 50mbits and not higher it will record forever. Which makes me think its the 1080 patch that is causing some error.
I feel Mjpeg is very much worth its research. I believe both have great value to production.

I have been trying find the "d" settings that Barry and a few others have talked about, could someone direct me to it..spent and hour searching here and can't find it.
I've been testing with B settings but also interested how you can push the buffer to 60? (as the current ptool is only drop down max to 40)
