Guide to the Hacks

I was heavily involved in testing and creating my own settings for the GH1. I had the camera before it was ever hacked and was really happy to be able to boost its performance. I kept up to date and knew what each patch did.

I was late to the GH2 game (as I really was fine with my GH1 other than the terrible green banding in low light that my camera produced. Honestly, it was one of the worst I've seen of any examples) and my job has been more projects and less time to dink around (which is good). So I've messed around with flowmotion, and Sanity, not as much with Driftwood as I don't have 95 MB/s cards. But there are so many hacks, variations of Driftwood hacks especially, that I'd like to try out, but even being an "experienced" GH hacker, there are so many out there I have a hard time wrapping my head around what they do, or claim to do.

Really, it's been this way from the beginning with the GH1. I just don't really understand the format of Personal-view and can't sort through the information there at a high rate. Is there anywhere that has a simple table with all of the hacks and what their claims, bitrates and GOPs are? Something like below (this data is probably NOT AT ALL accurate, I'm doing it as an example). If there isn't one, doesn't anyone else think that this would be very helpful, especially if you're not on the forums every couple of days keeping updated on the latest and greatest patch?
