MJPEG high bit rate footage-stills & comparisons.

I'm a little confused here. Reading all this, is the High Quality MJPEG at 1080p, is that at 24 fps or still at 30 fps? Most of what I have seen and been able to download is at 30P. Does the firmware change allow you to shoot 1080p High Quality MJPEG at 24P native?

Best,
-Tim
 
some dont post settings either :-( No 24p with mjpeg....yet...who knows? maybe soon? If you want full 1080 mjpeg...a faster card than class 6 is needed it seems.

Here are two frame grabs from the GH1's 1080P mode I just did a few moments ago.

These are not upscaled 720P files like a few days ago at the beginning of this thread. I have been trying out the 1080P mode and this I can say this seems very close to true 1080P. The 720Ps are great, however the 1080P's have punch. Either it's got one hell of a upscaler, or it's real 1080, or close enough. Tomorrow I will shoot some out door stuff and see how well it does.

Mjpeg is truly awesome. I frame goodness at good bit rates.

I agree that these look awesome. Also, moving footage has looked pretty intense as well. I think they're two different looks within the same camera which is sick to have.

So, I'm all for the push to get 720/24 or 1080/23 Photo JPEG out of the GH-1. Although I bet I'd be satisfied with the new AVC-HD no Pulldown 1080/24 as it is, if it's going to get both then who's to complain? Hopefully Barry can shoot some charts with your 1080/30 settings and report back on what he's finding. When he has the time.

If I had to choose between SD out and 1080/24 Photo JPEG, though... VIDEO OUT.

:D Heeee
 
Mike, I tried your settings on a different chart, and actually I will say that the res looks pretty good, definitely in the ballpark with the AVCHD, but -- something weird and disturbing shows up. It's chroma aliasing just like on the Canons.

Check it out:

Are you seeing ANYTHING like this in your shots?

You posted the "quality" settings, but not the "table" settings for what you're shooting. Maybe the "table" settings are the difference? Can you post all the quality and table settings please?

Yikes! Now that you mention it, that looks like what we saw on the other charts. You can barely see it on GruorgMG (is that the right name?) first test. It looks like chroma noise on the lines. I can't believe how neatly the AVCHD tapers out. No crazy color shifting.

Thanks yet again, though.

Hunting down a GH1 right now.

Barry, I have been working on a formula since june 1st. The latest 1080P stills come from this. Since then 720P was max. However I'm just going to post my excerpt of my testing notes in a few. This should all make sense then. That said the GH1 is definitely not up-scaling, or it's got a super scaling chip in it.

Oh yeah, 24,24,24,24 for tables. I went with what others were doing. Just wait. I have a whole new set of everything except 24,24,24,24, I left that intact.

Yeah I love the look of the PhotoJPEG material. It's just different enough to look awesome when played back. I'll take a different look in one camera for sure.

Or, well, maybe it's the glass you're using Pappas? That would be trying out some AVC-HD 1080/24 stuff as well.

Ah, I didn't see the 160...sorry...at 400 ISO on mine that much light those two guys in back, especially in the second shot would start to have lines...damn things love faces and slightly out of focus areas. But rumor has it bodies can be different...

It sure does. I was very pleased with the results considering the level of light that isn't there.
