UPDATED to Version 2! INI files for the latest version of PTool ready for download
As you may have heard, PTool 3.56d and higher have liberated all previously unhackable versions of not only the GH1, but GF1 and G2 cameras as well. In addition, PTool provides a variety of new patches that I've been able to incorporate into the Fast Action 3-Frame GOP Patch, making it more versatile than ever.
The Fast Action 3-Frame GOP Patch is ideally suited for the GF1 and G2 cameras' hardware capabilities. The NTSC version of these cameras produces native 720p30 video streams in both AVCHD SH mode and in MJPEG HD mode. This patch boosts the peak bitrate of both video modes to over 50Mbps and in SH mode uses a remarkably short 3-frame GOP-size, recording 10 key frames per second. (This 3-frame GOP is used in PAL AVCHD SH mode as well, recording at 720p25.) Using such a high density of key frames enables the Fast Action 3-Frame GOP Patch to maintain excellent image quality while tracking rapidly moving objects.
In addition, all GF1 and G2 cameras may now be freely switched between NTSC and PAL video modes, and all available user interface languages. This patch also enables Manual-exposure video modes, third party batteries, and eliminates 30-minute recording limits in AVCHD modes.
