GH2 bitrate settings?

I have noticed that if I right click on my gh2 files windows reports date rates of around 16627kbps and not closer to 24,000kbps that the new codec is supposedly running at?
 
Yeah that's what I am shooting in, cinema mode 24p 1080 check it out for yourself, the files rarely get encoded over 17MBps
 
that's something to wonder about. you probably didn't stress the codec so it "settled" on lower bitrate. try shooting complicated moving stuff and it will rise to 24MBps.
if there was a way to have constant 24MBps bitrate it could solve a lot of poor results. but i'm afraid it's not possible on this codec.
 
I experience the same thing. When you start shooting something that requires less compression, the GH2 settles on that bitrate, even if more details/movements come up later. Then you really have a crappy picture without knowing it.
 
I wonder if the af100 is any better? I actually see these weird "solarize" type artifacts going on in the medium to dark areas of the picture, looks like you converted the video to like - limited color pallet. Hard to describe
