GH2 PTool v3.62D Released

Henry, what setting is this? 442 megs for a 30 second clip?? We too are messing with 110000000 AVCHD but are not getting rates nearly this high (though we are getting these kinds of rates with 600 500 400 300 mjpeg).
 
Just tried out the 110000000 hack and with my current workflow it's useless. Every time I try to bring the clip into FCP via Log and Transfer it crashes. Any Mac users have suggestions?

I haven't tried it with 100 mbs hacked footage, but it would interesting to see if 5DtoRGB is able to successfully convert your footage to ProRes. 5DtoRGB is free, and the current version now supports GH2 .MTS files with sound:

Let us know what you find out.
 
Yes, clipwrap is happily wrapping. The 110 hack at the 'low' setting of 88000000 is laying down footage at a higher bitrate than prores LT and at 75% of prores proper. DO NOT convert this footage to anything lower then prores (though I'd suggest HQ). I cannon f-ing believe this.
 
Clipwrap demo is free by the way ethan, so worth a try. We bought the full and it's the best $50 I've ever spent (no I have nothing to do with clipwrap!).
 
Thanks for the tip about 5DtoRGB. Converting one :30 clip now but man it's slow. Might be worth dropping the $50 on ClipWrap at this speed.

Well it's not the greatest video. I am going to the Isle of Wight for the weekend so I will get some really nice footage while there I hope. Will try to tell a story as well and edit it when I get back Tuesday. Best wishes.

By the way - the 110 mbps hack I have discovered is anything but stable with frequent lockups. So if your footage is mission critical - this is not for you. But if you want the absolute best - this is extraordinary

i tried the 110mbps outdoors, it was ok but when you get the image via FCP log and transfer, the entire clip crackles like that of a million marbles, so no good with with my transcend class 10. though indoors was ok, so decided to go back to kaes 65mbps for stability and check auto quantizer to 3 more detail to get an average of 45mbps.Though I must admit getting 105mbps thru 110mps realy was great though while it lasted.
 
no its not playback, the shooting was ok but when i downloaded the clips it cracled like mosaic of marbles, and no buffer settings , should i check it what settings should i place, the default? right now i am at 85mbps and it is holding..... thanks

FCP's log and transfer doesn't work with the 100+mbps stuff as far as I can tell. Transcode the clip using 5DtoRGB (free/slow) or buy Clipwrap ($50/fast).

Hey Clipwrap users, for the 100+mbps footage are you simply re-wrapping it or are you transcoding for FCP?
 
I use a program simply called Media Converter. yes that's its name.
The great thing is that it doesn't actually recompress the file, rather it puts the H.264 file from the avchd inside a .mov that you can open natively with almost any kind of program (even Final Cut Pro, also you do get funny things when using the J-K-L keys in the edit)
You also need to down load the preset for AVCHD with uncompressed audio (I even changed the preset to passthrough audio)
http://media-converter.sourceforge.net/

On another note. All those super high nitrates seems amazing. But for the more normal and stable settings does the new PTool makes a difference. I haven't done many testing as I'm on mac and stream parser doesn't work on it.
 
i am using 85mps and its holding GOP3, AQ at 4 and buffer 24 at 0x3600...tested in the bushes and interiors looking good and stable...for me anyway, and getting average of 82mbps.

and still holding in most of the situation except for playback sometimes, you need to restart the camera when it says card cannot read, then it plays back.(am using a class 10 transcend 32gig card
