How is shooting pappas chart on your monitor in anyway a reflection of shooting conditions? If you printed the chart out and shot that maybe it would be an extreme of what you might encounter in the field, but shooting directly into a light source isnt reflective of any situation.
100% Quality Factor MJpeg Settings (very low compression - class 10 required!)

My wish list...
What would be interesting with the 2FPS MJPG would be the ability to allow shutter speeds longer than 1/30, perhaps as long as 1/2 second for 2FPS. This would be great for night star shots with perhaps the occasional satellite or meteorite path caught. Perhaps I've missed a setting but the longest shutter time I can see for MJPG is 1/30 second.
Another nice option with time lapse MJPG would be the ability to disable audio capture which would shrink the captured file size a bit.

Managed to get the error write to card problem with these settings
Q1=400, T1 = 4
Q2=300, T2 = 4
Q3=250, T3 = 4
Q4=188, T3 = 4
Have to say it's a gorgeous looking image at these settings and for a while in daylight I haven't had a problem. I have shot inside too but no lock ups. If you then colour grade in Color say the image has a lot to play with. It's excellent.
However today I was in a store getting the sensor for the camera cleaned and squirted off a little hi res MJPG footage to test. It locked up after 3 seconds or so. Didn't think too much of it. But I tried it on the train on the way home and the same thing happened. In both instances I noticed flickering flourescent light. This was the only thing that I can think of that would cause this issue. Shooting with the 20mm pancake pretty wide open 2.0 at 60 shutter.
all the best

I was shooting those mjpeg settings at a media exposition, and I did notice that projections would make it fail sometimes-- I don't know if it was the flickering or the contrast. I've found shooting off a television or projection is a good test of a codec-- maybe that's related to what you noticed with fluorescents?
A quick question, is the GH2 able to produce something like this in its MJPEG mode?
A sharp MJPEG recording with 4:2:2 is what I need for work.
Of course the GH2's bitrate is lower, but it's got better hardware and better codec etc, and it has B frame. And of course the GH2 has no 4:2:2 yet.
But if the GH2 (currently unhacked) is sharper than GH13 with "100% Quality Factor MJpeg Settings", I'll place an order for a GH2 again.

No, the quality of the GH2's MJPEG mode appears to be no better than that of an unhacked GH1, which is limited to 4:2:0 color depth.
Hello,
I really studied the hack and settings topics before diving into practice.
I first bought a panasonic gold class 10 sd card, and tried the 3gop LPowell hack with my GF-1. It's a very nice reliable hack but doesn't allow in-camera playing even with "low" bitrates of 55mb/s. so let's go faster...
Then, I tried the max latitude patch. Way better in any situations. hmmm hmm
then I decided to implement the modular settings in the max latitude patch and I am still stunned! Even with 4:2:2
For sure it's impossible to play the videos in the camera but the LPowell 55mbs doesn't play it too.
I tried it with 50 different videos outdoor low light outdoor bright sunlight, indoor lo light, indoor with powerful lighting.
I must say I never had a crash with those 400 / 4 settings 4:2:2. It's wonderful.
average bitrate from vlc MJPEG stats is 100mb/s and peak are 118mb/s that crazy.
thanks a lot Modular for those awesome settings.
I use pal settings with my GF-1.
I thought it offered 25fps but according to vlc codec stats it's 30fps.
Anyone know the real FPS rate with this camera and those settings?
>> edit: 25 fps in AVCHD & 30fps in MJPEG
thanks in advance for your answer, because I don't Know If I have to shoot 1/50 speed or 1/60 now...:undecided
>>> edt: 1/50 in AVCHD and 1/60 in MJPEG

Hi,
Just want to say that this setting survives new_codec_tests_chart_PAPPASARTS.jpg on a GH1 (managed to shoot the image at fullscren on my laptop, covering 100% of camera view, for over 1 minute with lots of camera movements). However if I change the width to 1440, it doesn't.
Card is sandisk 95M / Sec
