Still Thoroughly Confused Re the GH2 Hacks

I've literally spent the last several days just reading the posts on DVXuser and several other sites that are related to the GH2 hacks. After all of that I have to admit that, besides having a headache, I am still quite confused as to how to implement the hacks as why I would choose one over the other.

So, if you will forgive my ignorance (or stupidity) I have a few questions I’d like to post and, hopefully, get answered. Here they are in no particular order:


  1. Will the GOP = 1 hack files be easier to edit in Vegas or Premiere since there is no compression?


  1. Can you implement 2 hacks at one time? I think the answer is no.


  1. The guide on how to use PTools seems to indicate that you make various selections about GOP, bit rates, etc. from drop down menus. I don’t understand how these relate to the multitude of hacks (set?.ini ) files available. Do the ini files populate the drop down options. If so, can I have more than one set's hack options available to me at one time? (All of this might be clearer to me if I could only download and play with the hacks. See question #7. That said I think I did manage to successfully download PTool3.exe which, hopefully is the latest version)


  1. How do I determine whether I might even want one hack or the other?


  1. Where can I get more information about the audio hack. I read about it someplace and have not been able to find it since. Can I use the audio hack along with another hack?


  1. I plan on buying the SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC 95 MB/sec, 64 GB so, hopefully, it will be able to handle even the fastest hacks, if that is the way I decide to go, i.e., should I choose to go with the hacks that capture 176mbps:

  1. will the camera record continuously at that bit rate, with spanning? and,
  2. for about how long? around an hour at 64GB?

  1. I’ve been looking for a place to download the various hacks and found this link: http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/953/gh2-patch-vault-most-popular-patches-in-one-place On this website there appears to be links to various hack files, they show up as icons that look like a sheet of paper with the upper right corner folded over. When I roll the mouse over the icons I see something like “driftwood 132M.zip 378B” but these are not links. When I click on them nothing happens. I have this same problem with Firefox and Internet Explorer. How do I download the various hacks?


  1. When you install a hack do you remove some of the built in Panasonic options ?

Everyone on this site has been very generous with their time responding to various posts I've made in different forums, and your responses have been extremely valuable. Hopefully with this post I am not overstaying my welcome.

Thanks,

Dan
