720 won't go out over hdmi, but 1080 60i will. W/ a recorder like the ninja, that is the way to go.

Thank you.

I don't see any patch updates by Driftwood today anywhere on Personal-View.com. Am I missing something?

How many seconds with the Sandisk Extreme 30mbps cards?

 

[Ryan Farnes]

Hi Ryan, You need an NLE to open it really. There are converters out there but not many do a good job. YUse Premiere Pro or FCP, or Sony Vegas on PC.

Hehe, thanks. I did a log and transfer on FCP and pulled it in that way.

Really great stuff.

Why does some of it looks aliased, like the ferris wheel?

Way to go Cosimo. Most stable platform.

in the patch vault?

Its in there now

How many seconds with the Sandisk Extreme 30mbps cards?

About 3-4 minimum. You can ride iso 160 continuously; though I recommend the 95MB/s for double the duration.

For shorthand, I'm going to refer to the particular combo of

1. a GH2
2. a 95 MB/s Sandisk Extreme card
3. this Seaquake/Burst patch

...as a GH2-X. A little Red reference.

As a title, it also serves as a quality standard; it means that you can record highest intra quality nonstop at 24fps 1.9k without breaking a sweat. It means you have overcrank modes that live up to the Driftwood Seaquake 24fps quality and have reasonable burst rates. Everything works at highest quality, no quirks or reliability issues. For cinema shooters going into the Gh2 hack world, that removes much of the FUD from the process. GH2-X to me is a shorthand for: quality, practicality, and reliability (for the cinema shooter).

Its in the first post:

Its important that they read the post first, as the patch is intended for the 95MB/s cards.

Well, after doing some testing with SeaQuake, I pulled the trigger on two of those 64GB Sandisk 95MB/s cards. Incredibly beautiful footage, and further solidifies my belief that the GH2 is the best value in large-sensor digital cinema under $10k, perhaps even beyond. I'll be shooting a no-budget feature on a hacked GH2 with Canon FD primes in January - very excited.

I also pulled the trigger on the Sandisk 95mb cards... got a 32gig for US$116

Hi Sage, will this patch span so I can do longer interviews with it?

it does span but I'm wondering if it spans all modes, 1080 720 etc

How many minutes do you get with your 32g card using this patch?

GH2-X is:
1. a GH2 (film mode set to Smooth -2)
2. a 95 MB/s Sandisk Extreme Pro card

Sage what made you switch to smooth -2 from cinema? you were an advocate for cinema just a few days ago. curious.

I'm not sure I understand what this hack means? What happened to the previous hacks that people were raving about a couple of months ago?

What makes this one better? Please explain.

Thank you very much!
