PTool settings sharing thread
- Thread starter Vitaliy Kiselev
- Start date
my settings for daily usage -
AVCHD 25P native PAL system
fine with class 4 and class 10
write error free in past three weeks use and testing even in high detail scene with tsinami pan(i shoot everyday). andnever fail in daily normal operation.
50-44-32-56-60-p.zip
note :
1. This setting is recommended to PAL user only, as i swtiched to NTSC with the same settings, i got write error randomly.
2. This setting is stable enough for daily normal shooting but not pass shooting over the Pappas's chart with native 24/25p clicked.
3. it passed a live event recording over 35mins on tripod. and successful split file over 4Gb.
My trip was over and i am satisfied with this setting, in real world shooting this setting "50-44-32-56-60-p.zip" never fail me and GH13. (ratio between FHD and SH mode shooting are around 1 : 10, because i like slow motion.).
UPDATE : Accoring to the new ptool released, the limited bitrate had been deleted and add preset bitrate 1 and 2 and overbitrate 2. A new setting i am using now after a series of setting tests which want to share with you all.
To me, this setting (average bitrate can higher than 40mb) seems stable for carrying daily shooting and playback-able on camera. It suitable for both PAL and NTSC for matching latest ptool with system interchangable. the file named "50FHD-36H-27L-54OB-45OB2-540PB2.zip".
as native clicked, dont think it will pass pappas chart shooting because it must be some encoder defect or some area ptool not explore yet.
The file included LPOWELL's "35Mbps MJPEG In-Camera Playback patch". for detail, please visit LPOWELL's thread below and all credits to LPOWELL.

Update 07-20-10:
I have enabled the new manual video mode features for both of my firmware files.
I have updated my GF1 settings files to include the highest AVC-HD bit rates that I could achieve. I now get a max of 40+ mb/sec 720p @ 30 FPS AVC-HD video with the settings below and the star chart.
Video Bitrate FHD/SH=50000000
Video Bitrate H=50000000
Video Bitrate L=32000000
Overall Bitrate=56000000
Limiting Bitrate=60000000
720p @ 60 FPS GOP = 6
All of the settings below are tested with the GF1. They should all work with a GH1 but I don't have one so I cannot verify that.
I have given up on 1080p MJPEG. I think the thread below shows that 1080p MJPEG is in fact scaled to 720p before it is scaled back to 1080p.

Tested Class 6 SD Card patches - lpowell
Tested Class 6 SD Card patches - lpowell
Here is a quick reference to patches I've developed for use on Class 6 SD cards and higher, for both GH1 and GF1 cameras in NTSC and PAL. These patches have been publicly posted after thorough testing on the following SD cards:
Lexar Platinum II Class 4 16GB (an exceptional Class 4)
Patriot Class 6 16GB
Transend Class 6 4GB
Transend Class 6 16GB
SanDisk Extreme Class 10 16GB
35Mbps MJPEG In-Camera Playback Patch
720p @ 30fps in 4:2:2 color depth
These settings produce HD movies with average bitrates of up to 35Mbps across a broad range of illumination, from dim incandescence to shaded daylight. I've found this to be close to the highest MJPEG bitrate that can be reliably played back in-camera.
Sample footage thread: http://dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=215624
60Mbps MJPEG Class 6 SD Card Patch
720p @ 30fps in 4:2:2 color depth
These settings produce images with MJPEG Quality Level of 90-100 at bitrates around 60Mbps. I've found this to be close to the highest MJPEG bitrate that can be reliably recorded on Class 6 SD cards and higher. These movies will not, however, play back in camera.
Sample footage thread: http://dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?216238-60Mbps-MJPEG-Class-6-SD-Card-Patch
40Mbps AVCHD High Reliability Patch
NTSC: 720p @ 59.94fps & 1080p @ 23.976fps (in the standard 60i container)
PAL: 720p @ 50fps & 1080p @ 25fps (in the standard 50i container)
These settings produce reliable SH and FHD movies with average bitrates of around 40Mbps in sharp-focus, highly detailed scenes. For extended recording duration, H mode will record 720p movies at about 24Mbps, and L mode will record 720p movies at about 16Mbps. All AVCHD videos will play back in-camera.
Sample footage thread: http://dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=219132
50Mbps AVCHD Fast Action 3-Frame GOP Patch
NTSC: 720p @ 29.97fps & 1080p @ 23.976fps (in the standard 60i container)
PAL: 720p @ 25fps & 1080p @ 25fps (in the standard 50i container)
These settings produce high quality 720p30 and 720p25 videos with a short 3-frame GOP-length, recording one key frame every tenth of a second (NTSC). I've found this to be close to the highest reliable AVCHD bitrate that remains safely within the write-speed capabilities of Class 6 SD cards and higher. All AVCHD videos will play back in-camera.

Reset Files
If you have installed the firmware on your GF1 and now you just want to reset it back the way it was you can install these files.
One of them just resets the MJPEG settings back to their original values. The other one resets the GF1 firmware back to version 1.22.
Basically, these settings are for the people who "Just want their life back"(Tony Hayward BP CEO). You knew the risks when you installed the software but now you just want someone to make all of your problems go away.

I seem to be unable to achieve the 'AVCHD FPS' (AVCHD 720p50->25fps) conversion of 50fps to 25fps
I have this ticked but my 720p videos still report 50fps in the Panasonic PhotoFun HD software.
But then VLC shows the 'Native 24p/25p' 1920x1080p AVCHD files that I know are 25fps as 50, so I'd appreciate someone else trying the AVCHD FPS conversion.
My bin .ini (as .txt file) settings attached (...if it works)

My Stable settings
My Stable settings
I believe this is the next step up on the MarekV Perfect Project above for those with Class 6 cards.
In all my tests, if i enable 25pN for ABCDE or any other setting i eventually get a card (class 6 16gb) error in FDH mode and that's with the new limiting patches enabled as well. So for now 25pN is out of bounds for me.
The absolute lowest the bitrate dropped to was 21mbps, the highest was 43mbps, Average was 27 - 34Mbps.
I shot grass, trees, pinebark, rocks, sand, tripod lock off shots, whip pans waterfalls, nothing gave an error.
In SH 720p mode the bitrates were overall lower by about 3-5 mbps
I could not even get Pappas Star Chart to fail , so these are what i have settled on for now and given up completely on 25pN
I don't believe a faster card will make any difference, 24/25pN is flawed in my opinion.
One question, is the Preset patch 1 keeping the bitrate over 20mbps? Because this is the first time nothing has dropped below 20mpbs even on static scenes?
Video evidence and FULL DETAILS HERE - http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showpost.php?p=2045075&postcount=24

It failed on my camera after 2s recording on a TRIPOD: grass and a tree. It said that writing to the card was not fast enough. Pappas's codec test chart failed after less than 1s. The camera did not write any error, it just stopped recording. It's also true that grass and tree did not fail later on even though I was using tripod. However, note that pappas's chart failed each time (only when using the TRIPOD, not hand-held - even though I tried to be as "stable" as possible).
I hope that other testers are using tripods when testing pappas's chart, since in my case it is crucial. Note that I am using printed papas's chart (on A3 format) instead of shooting monitor screen, since printed version has much higher resolution.
Frame rates: 1/50 and 1/60s (shutter speed priority), 14-140mm lens, PAL, SMOOTH, contrast=-1, Sharpness=-1, Saturation=0, NR=0. Transcend 16GB Class 10 card.
When deleting this message and adding comments to Ramboc's post, please, mention TRIPOD and printed pappas's chart. :dankk2:

Stable and high Quality Settings for Sandisc10:
Hello, i tested several days different settings for the maximum with sandisc class 10 cards and i ended with these settings
Native 24 = OFF
Video Bitrate FHD/SH=60000000
Video Bitrate H=50000000
Video Bitrate L=40000000
Overall Bitrate=6200000
Or
Native 24 = ON
Video Bitrate FHD/SH=40000000
Video Bitrate H=30000000
Video Bitrate L=20000000
Overall Bitrate=4200000
The differences between these two hacks are seen in the colors mostly. the native 24 ON setup has darker areas and the video looks deeper. Native 24 off but 60000000 seems to be brighter. Maybe a little more details. Anybody who wants to check both out. let me know what you like more.
Both are almost stable with class10. Higher bitrates causes errors.

The differences between these two hacks are seen in the colors mostly. the native 24 ON setup has darker areas and the video looks deeper. Native 24 off but 60000000 seems to be brighter. Maybe a little more details. Anybody who wants to check both out. let me know what you like more.
Both are almost stable with class10. Higher bitrates causes errors.

OK, I am not sure if I understand this variance in PTool v 3.40.... So all the settings loaded here from the previous versions of PTools, loaded into PTools v3.40 are missing the setting for "Limited Bitrate" value. Does it belong somewhere else or is it no longer needed?
Many thanks. New to Ptool and just getting started with a Dec.09 JP NTSC GH1 in PAL land :thumbsup:
1. I'm not a techie but I have tried these settings as well the other two perfect settings. I am constantly getting a message " Motion recording was cancelled due to the limitation of the speed of the card" irrespective of the density of the scene recorded. I do get the scene for a few seconds before this message appears on the LCD. There is no crash or camera shutting: simply it goes back to the recording mode.
2. Could someone please explain what the "limiting bitrate" is and where to put its value in the firmware loaded PTool. Thanks

Hi
I have 2 problems motionjpg not working proper (poor quality) which is not a big deal.
but when I try to film in AVCHD Full HD, my camera screen flickers or goes black above 200 iso. Also when played back on computer you can see the quality in Full HD is not as good as one step below.
Can anyone suggest what I did wrong in the ptool settings? Used the newest version.:dankk2:
But alone taking the iso under control is a win win situation, without the iso my film quality was worst then my canon pocket camera. Shame on Panasonic blocking it.
