GH2 5DtoRGB for windows available, fix for GH2

[NPrincen]

Does this do pulldown removal for the interlaced GH-1 files or only the YCbCr to RGB conversion?

I tried it and it completed transcoding the footage into 10bit lossless 4:2:2. However, it doesn't play and looks all wrong in after effects cs4. Do I need to download and install a certain codec to be able to use transcoded footages?

At this point, I found it to be useless. The windows version is only 32bit.
The mac version maybe works better. I ran the win version.

It took a really long time to transcode. One time I got all green video, the next all white
with the same settings. A 200mb mts file was over 5gb when it was done.

It's possible I did something wrong using settings:

Uncompressed 8 bit 4:2:2​

Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2

It is only preview version. I wonder if this actually works better, I mean, if it worked, than adobe premire or aftereffects 5.5?

You shouldn't have to install any codecs to work with uncompressed files.

If the footage looks wrong (e.g. green and purplish), then it's possible you'll need to update your video card drivers. Since 5DtoRGB now relies on the GPU for transcoding, it is critical that the video card drivers support the necessary OpenGL extensions. If they don't, you'll end up getting weird greenish color or grayscale output only.

Try updating your video card drivers and see if that helps.

Keep in mind that uncompressed files are very large. You might try transcoding to DNxHD if you can live with compression and your NLE supports it.
