PTool settings sharing thread

Blue, with a fast card and hand holding the GH1 most people are able to record Pappas chart without errors with the C settings. It's only when the camera is locked off on a tripod that problems arise. If you go back thru all the old threads you will find we have all been thru that before, the only difference is a new version of Ptools and a few more parameters to change.

Try it on a tripod and see if you get errors.
 
pourrait-on avoir les paramètres complets pour la meilleure qualité avec Ptools 3.4 ou 3.5 sans avoir d'erreurs ?
je pense que pour les amateurs comme moi ,ce serait très utile !
un Grand merci d'avance
 
the limiting bitrate option was in the older versions of ptool, it wasnt in 3.40 or the new 3.50 (only ones ive used)

my understanding is that it was no longer needed so they removed it.

Dear Mr. Kiselev! You might have done some revolutionary engineering with a camera, but that doesn`t give you the right to dance of with an attidude worthy a San Quentin intern.
Respect the fact that not everyone are as clever as you on this field!!! Respect!​

Could we have the full parameters for the best Ptools with 3.4 or 3.5 without errors?
I think that for fans like myself would be very helpful!
a Big thank you in advance
 
Hi
Can someone please tell me if there is and if so which is the best setting for shooting mjpeg at high bit rates on class 8- 10 cards at 24p.
If not which is the best setting for shooting 24p avchd and remove pulldown in CineForm
Sorry for my ignorance but I am a new possible user and will need to know more before beggining testing the camera for a feature length film production in Brasil.
any input would be helpful.
Thanks
RJ

I'm going crazy already, im following this forum (hack) almost from the beginning and still i have almost no clue to what are the best RELIABLE settings to use with CLASS 6 cards?

Try 40, 42, 45 with 24p unchecked and you should be good with a class 6 card.

Me too. When I read about PTool the GH1 seemed to be the camera I was looking for. Then I read more and now I really don't know.

Can somebody please say why some on this forum prefer MJPEG upscaled from 720p over h.264 1080p? I understand that the upscaling is done before MJPEG compression and that the post workflow is that bit easier with MJPEG but surely over double the spatial resolution counts? Then that brings me on to the 4:2:2 option for MJPEG - how valuable is this in real use compared to the increased resolution of AVC? (P.S. I live in PAL land and I want to shoot either in 24p or 25p).

'Hoping one of you knowledgeable people will help me out.

Thanks.
 
lpowell, thanks for your patch. I just installed it on my GH1 (reliable in-camera playback patch). How can I check, if it really is inside the camera? I cannot, e.g., find the menu item to change between NTCS and PAL. Is this not supposed to appear somewhere in the menu now?

NTSC vs PAL - I think the only menu mode change is for either NTSC or PAL output viewing.

To change capture mode, I'm pretty certain you need to reburn the firmware (as well as clear any pictures or video on the card that are for the other mode).

No, you can change capture mode with the menu output. The only issue is that you need to reformat the SD card, as you know (not only clear but REFORMAT).

I was able to find the menu item for the output change from NTSC to PAL and vice versa (video-out in the setup menu), as mentioned by Axthor. But where do I set the capture mode?

The same menu change also the capture mode. No other menus.
When you change output mode, you change also the capture mode. So, it is impossible to have capture mode PAL and output mode NTSC.
 
Im planning on buying a gf1 and hacking it to film action sports in sunny conditions at the highest quality possible (hopefully), can anybody recomend some ptools settings that i should take advantage of?
links to footage of settings would be great too. Thanks
