GH1 firmware research volunteers required

Hey Tester13, I could of sworn you posted something awhile ago about you finding and downloading something you needed... but now I can't find the post? Was that Panasonic compiler?... or we still need both that and the service software? I know someone posted about PMing about the service software.. but I guess that didn't get anywhere, hrm?

Has anyone actually called the service center and failed? I was meaning to early this week, but got busy.. so if no one's tried at all I'll give her a shot after the weekend.
 
PTool Related Question: Pappas is saying that the old PTool is the only one that allows for image squeeze. Are we going to be able to get that back so that we can further experiment with 1080/30 Photo JPEG settings?
 
PTool 3.36 updated without version change

MJPEG 1280m Width and Height adjustments are back by request.
MJPEG 1280m Size Adjustments and encoder settings patches ported to GF1.

It'll be interesting to compare GF1 resolution. As far as I understand 1920x1080 MJPEG resolution can be higher than GH1.

P.S. Please remember my HDMI TV modes request. It is important.

Hrm... my bad. I actually did check there first of course, but I guess I missed that part... font color's kind of hard to read. So now it's down to service software and that firmware image utility you need. Wish I took more then one semester of C++.
 
Hi Tester and team, great job you guys are doing – pulldown was the curse of the GH1 and now no longer! Also the language switch in camera really even's the playing field for all those who have Japanese cams.

Just want to say that disabling the AGC is a huge thing for us film makers and I look forward to when you get that one going.

Keep up the great work!
 
thank you tester13 for your amazing work

now footage is mach cleaner so maybe now iso 3200 can be useful for video?
is it possible to unblock it in manual video mode?

thanks in advance
 
Hello Tester13!
I want to try a patched firmware on my GH1 (European version as I´m fro Spain )but I have one question before do that.
I checked my current version of firmware and is 1.2 (I haven´t ever updated the firmware since I bought it...) but I´ve seen that you all testers are patching from 1.32 version wich is the one that is used to be patched on PTool, so:
Is it necesary to install original 1.32 firmware from Panasonic first before updating to a patched version of this same firmware?
Could do this directly without updating to the original 1.32 firmware and then update to a patched version ?
THANKS alot for all your help!!:)
Cheers...
Asier.
 
hola asier, yo soy de españa tambien y estoy con la gh1 y instalando tambien el firmware. Yo instale directamente el firmware 1.32 parcheado con las instrucciones que te dan, y todo ha salido bien. Cualquier problema me comentas. yo como ando un poco verde con el ingles, si quieres entre los 2 nos ayudamos un poco con lo del parche, que por lo que voy medio entendiendo podremos hacer mil cosas mas. Thank's tester13 and testers!!
 
Sorry for disrupting the hard work but I was wondering if the same can be accomplished with the GF1. I'm currently living in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and my sister from California is coming to visit me here so I was thinking of buying a GF1 if there's a chance that manual controls, 24p and higher bit rates can be implemented. I already have an E-P1 so I would only buy the GF1 in case these 3 things could be done. Again, I'm sorry for disrupting the hard work and congratulations on an amazing breakthrough (I have the feeling you will end up working for Panasonic).
 
Here you go guys sig time whoever is running testers firmware! Time to represent!

check the FAQ's. yes, most patches ALREADY ported over the the GF1

tester13: All bitrate related works already, including 1920x1080 MJPEG.

Good news.

I can change sampling in MJPEG movies from 4:2:0 to 4:2:2.

Before:
Number of Img components = 3
Component[1]: ID=0x01, Samp Fac=0x22 (Subsamp 1 x 1), Quant Tbl Sel=0x00 (Lum: Y)
Component[2]: ID=0x02, Samp Fac=0x11 (Subsamp 2 x 2), Quant Tbl Sel=0x01 (Chrom: Cb)
Component[3]: ID=0x03, Samp Fac=0x11 (Subsamp 2 x 2), Quant Tbl Sel=0x01 (Chrom: Cr)
After:
Number of Img components = 3
Component[1]: ID=0x01, Samp Fac=0x21 (Subsamp 1 x 1), Quant Tbl Sel=0x00 (Lum: Y)
Component[2]: ID=0x02, Samp Fac=0x11 (Subsamp 2 x 1), Quant Tbl Sel=0x01 (Chrom: Cb)
Component[3]: ID=0x03, Samp Fac=0x11 (Subsamp 2 x 1), Quant Tbl Sel=0x01 (Chrom: Cr)
