GH2 DO NOT POST SEPARATE THREADS: GH2 Hack | Questions and Answers Thread

PaPa said:
man, I'm getting a headache trying to nagivate personal views for all the patches.

Can we put together a list of what's available and try to organize some of the details?

I tried to start a thread on this the other day and for some reason it was deleted. No notice, no reason. I wanted to start a chart with the following info on the hacks...

Hack name - bitrate - benefits - minimum card speed needed - details - details
 
i would like to download one of the hacks but i can't seem to find one based on the information there that has a GOP of 1 or 3 that isn't over 100Mbps

I will be hacking one of my GH2s next week. At this point it looks like there is somewhere in the range of 8 to 12 different patches available, all awesome. Would anyone care to distill it down to the basics? I would love to compile chart...

Hack Name - Bitrate - Details - More details - Ideal environment - Minimum card requirements

I don't mean to ask too much so feel free to reprimand me if you think this is unnecessary. I definitely plan on trying out some of the super high end hacks, but ultimately I think I will settle on something that doesn't eat up a 32gb card in 7 minutes...

Your post is right here, in this thread. Too many topics popping up with basic questions on the hack that should mostly be sent over to Personal-View.com.

We're still trying to suss out the threads and info, but keep in mind that it's an evolving effort that happens outside of DVXuser and it takes a lot of time and effort to compile such things. All of the questions can go into this thread, and if someone wants to keep up with every patch release and graph it for the community you're more than welcome to do so, and I'll rename this topic and add it to Car3o's first post.

The Hack is a free effort, they put in a lot of time and man power to bring it to us, it may be a mess to go through but it's worth it. You'll also learn a lot while doing it. =]

Thank you for pointing this out. I should have done a search to see if the thread was moved.

I agree about the time and effort currently being poured into the hack and all the individual patches. I look forward to delving into it deeper. However, unlike hacking your xbox or modding your Android phone, this process is much more convoluted than it should being. Private View is a very messy forum. I have joined and downloaded several patches, but their forum layout just isn't as clean as DVXuser. Just ONE of the reasons I love this place.

Understandable. It's definitely not as popular as modding an xBox, which means that it'll be a lot messier and a lot more scarce as far as info is concerned. Just takes a little more effort and patience to get to the information that you're seeking. A few of us are here to help out, as well, when we can afford to.

If all of the questions get stacked in this thread, then there's a database that I can go back and modify to point toward what people need. Let's keep this one going and people will have an easier time in the future.

I posted this a few days ago but because all posts were consolidated into this one it got buried (maybe repost as a new thread on PV so Vitaliy can see it)...

Hotconductor is totally right. It's time to have some sort of formal excel style doc that has version updates for old/new patches, patch modifications, running changes, basic patch info such as AQ/GOP/estimated recording duration, card requirements, etc.

The developers and Vitaly should approve a basic template that can quickly and easily be populated with new info. This excel file or PDF version of one should have a revision/summary tab of new patches or changes while the main "patch info tab" will contain the guts of the content.

This is a discussion that should probably be continued on PErsonal-view but the document should exist on both DVXUSER and PV. Whenever a new patch is added or modded, the file gets a quick update which overwrites the previous version and it should live as a stickied thread on DVXUSER and it's own thread on PV but the actual patch downloads must be done in PV.

DPs and Directors considering the GH2 aren't going to waste their time diving through hundreds of threads to find basic info. Even with the patch vault on PV it's still kind of a mess. Plus, the doc should have all the GH1 patch info as well.

In essence, this becomes a clear cut "menu" of patches. We want the GH2 to get the usage and recognition it deserves right? Keeping it easy to read and ingest will entice high end DPs greater accessability to the basics so they can pick and choose very quickly what patch best suites their productions needs.

The challenge is finding someone to upload and update on a regular basis. By the sounds of it hotconductor might be up for it. Hell, I'll even do it as long as I'm given the info. Let's just get all this organized properly. One more thing...if you haven't already donated...DO IT! These guys work their butts off giving us the hack privileges.

har har, veru funny. That's the thread i've been going through again and again, but i cant find all the information for all the patches. There are only a few details here and there for some of them without downloading them to see their GOP settings.

im giving a try with the 65 Mbps one to see how it works.
Click to expand...

Wasn't trying to be funny, man. That's as best you're gonna get as far as a collection of patches goes on that site. Otherwise, you have to sift through the threads to find them.

How about this: VK has a donate button on his page. Why dont' we find someone we can donate too, reach a total of 300.00-500.00 dollars to pay someone to accumulate this free info? Any takers?
 
no i know you won't. I was mearly smirking ;) But this 65Mbps patch seems to be working, about to throw it into premiere and see what happens

Awesome, looks like we've got a volunteer. All you have to do is go to PV and sift through it, find the patches, grab some info and graph however you see fit.

If you do that, I'll sticky it in a heartbeat. =]

You may want to add a little notes section that details the changes. Driftwood often does that under his posts. As soon as you hit a stopping point, PM me and I'll update the first post as well.
 
I posted a new thread on Personal-view called "Patch Vault Summary chart beta" with a chart as well. It's an excel file based on the 2011 microsoft suite. Hotconductor, we're pretty much on the same page with the info. I added a few other columns such as card requirements, reliability risk, estimated recording duration, etc. Y'all can take a peek and we can merge everything together. Looks good guys! One step closer to making things easier in the hack world.

I downloaded the document and it only has 4 columns (revision number, date, author, description). It is a glitch on my end? I opened it in OpenOffice and Google Docs, both displayed the same. Glad to make some headway on this!

There are other tabs (sheets) at the bottom of the file labeled GH2 3.63, GH2 3.62, GH1, Glossary of terms. Maybe it's the newer version of excel wreaking havoc if you don't see it?

OHHhhh snap! That GH2 3.63 tab is layed out BEAUTIFULLY. I am trying out different settings as we speak. Extremely helpful.

Lol thanks man. I'm glad i saw your post about getting things organized cause that's what set me off to say...screw it...we gotta do this! I'm tired of jumping in and out of threads to find basic info. Hopefully the developers and Vitaliy are able to provide input so we can finalize a chart. Once the chart is finalized, we'll need all the developers to proof their patches to insure all the info is accurate. I didn't fill everything in because I was unsure of some of the info. Though it is just a formatting test, I don't want to add totally incorrect info ya know?

I'm with you brother. FAQ team and all. I am going to make little notes in my version as I go through and test out different patches. I have a feeling I will reach one patch where I'll say to myself 'this is fantastic, I'm done searching' but we'll see.
