Okay so bear with me on this, I see Vitaliy on these GH2 forums but have feared altering my camera but your footage has me reconsidering. If you would be so kind as to answer some questions in a way that my un-techical mind can understand it would be much apprciated.
1. 66Mbps - is this the max? what is the cameras Mbps out of the box?
2. are you given the choice of how many GOP's 4? 6? 8?
3. can you return the camera setting back to factory default if need be?
4. do you loose any of the camera settings that where there before the hack?
 
I try to explain in english...
1. The camera by default records at 24Mbps (max). I filmed at 66Mbps but yesterday i've updated the hack at 176 MBps in AVC Intra (only I-frame: every frame is saved independently from the others).
2. At 66Mbps i was having GOP 6. You can choose the GOP number while you create the patch (an 'easy game' that every child can play :) ). With the hack at 176 Mbps, I have GOP 1.
3. You can always easily return the factory setting by uploading in the SD and after in the camera the originle firmware you can find in the web (GH2__V10E) also in the Lumix website, i think.
4. You loose nothing. You just gain many creative possibilities!

An advice: don't think many time considering the hack. Do it.
 
thanks alex, I think I'm going to do it, would love to hack my AF100 too!
can you send me the most recent link to the GH2 hack.
ciao!
