40Mbps AVCHD High Reliability Patch

lpowell setting ported to PAL-land?

lpowell setting ported to PAL-land?

hello, just got my GH-1 last week, inspired to a large degree by the groundbreaking work on this forum... tip-of-the-hat to all concerned!

I have played around a bit with MarekV's "perfect settings" which credits ipowell' mjpeg settings... trying out lots of old lenses, etc.

Now my question is can I simply tick the NTSC-PAL patch after loading ipowell's settings, and happily remain in PAL-land as I would prefer?

Latest PTool has NTSC<->PAL patch that uses menu to switch your standard.
So, just use it and you can go back to NTSC at any minute.
 
Stock Settings or 40Mbps AVCHD High Reliability Patch?

Stock Settings or 40Mbps AVCHD High Reliability Patch?

Hi,

I'm currently running the 40Mbps AVCHD High Reliability Patch on my GH1. Thanks for all of the work that you put into this.

99% of the time I shoot in SH 720/60p mode. I'm currently using the GH1 alongside my HPX300. I'm using the GH1 to shoot sit -down interviews, product shots, and general beauty shots. It seems that for the type of shooting that I'm doing with the GH1 that I may be better off using the stock settings of the GH1 rather than the 40Mbps AVCHD High Reliability Patch. The reason being is that I'm getting lower bitrates with the patch than I would get by just using stock settings.

Does anyone have an opinion on this? Are there better settings for the type of shooting I'm using my GH1 for?

Thanks in advance,

John
 
Can someone clarify what H and L settings are for? Is H for 720 AVCHD and L for SD AVCHD?

Should I even check those?
 
Vitaly,

Where is the option to change formats? I feel like I've looked through all the menus, but I can't find it! I'm asking because I'm hoping to get 25p mjpeg. Thanks!

OK, never mind, I found it, I had to dig for a while. Please ignore my ignorance..

Hmm. I still don't have it. I can get 50fps AVCHD, but not MJPEG. Am I doing something wrong?

Can you tell me more about the type of lighting and exposure you're using it this situation? In my testing of the patch, I saw comparable bitrates for both FHD and SH video modes. What I did note, however, is that bitrate drops in soft focus and/or dim lighting conditions.
 
I was happy to hear about this settings, load them, but also add "ntsc to pal" patch.

The camera is not shooting even one frame in night conditions!

The second I press the shutter in movie mode, everything is frozen.

happend to me in the middle of the shooting, so run home and changed back to C settings, and everything is working.

I have NTCS model and the only change I have done in this settings are to check NTSC to PAL.

I need to do more tests, don't have the time today, but for sure this is not working on my camera.

I will update soon to be 100% in the details.

For now, it was 640 ISO, KIT lens, tripod night scene.

I tried FHD, SH, H and even L - all freeze in the moment of the press. only battery moving is helping.
I have sundisk class 10 card, but its not connected at all.

Here's a link to the downloadable PTool settings file, it comes with the NTSC/PAL menu feature included.

Be certain to download the latest version of PTool from the supplied link.

Previous versions of PTool will not work properly with this patch.

I am using 3.40d

Do I need the last build or something?
no place to see build number.

Onion, I am aware, used the hack for a while, with C setting with Pal patch.
no NTSC footage on my camera.

Each version has build date now in caption.
So it is easy to identify specific version.
