Theorotically its correct....
Generally 25Mbps makes nearly 13GB/Hr File.
19Mbps (which is 720p HDV) makes nearly 7-8GB/Hr File.
Now it is 17Mbps, little less than Hour in 4GB is very close to make sense.
Anyways that could not go more then that in 8GB (or more) card.
Because FAT limitation is there. This doesn't mean its a limitation of camera.
Its just a FAT File system limitation of 4GB per File.
And as per as I know there is no card in development in NTSC file system.

FHD = 1080/24P 17mbps. That's what it's been on.
I've got to have this thing crippled in the settings or something if it's only 9mbps.

Try SH mode. See if it gives you shorter recording times.

This camera sounds cool.
Question... does it have the capability to shoot pretty girls?

The red one looks pretty cool. Though, I'd probably be tired of it in a week and regret not getting black later.

Interesting. Panasonic's docs agree/disagree?
http://panasonic.net/avc/lumix/systemcamera/gms/gh1/specifications.html
http://panasonic.net/avc/lumix/popup/sd_memory_card/gh1.html
According to those links, the GH1's "FHD" recording mode should be "1080p24 AVCHD @ 17 megabits/sec VBR". I think ...
tried it. Looks like shorter recording times @ 720/60P. the LCD flips over to 720/60P as well, that's another way I know it's 60P.
FHD is 1080/24 for sure.

If you can stand it, do another "FHD" test, but this time with the GH1 aimed at a scene with continuous movement. A torture test might be aiming it at a TV that's displaying something, anything moving. Or a scene with grass/trees/surf blowing in a breeze, etc.
Does recording constant motion hugely affect the GH1's maximum continuous record times?

Just got mine! I tried the live composite out put and it does spit out a live image through the a/v cable.
The only issue is 1. You have to have the LCD flipped on, 2. It stops spiiting out a live image once you press record. So its a no go for having a directors monitor.
Maybe kholi can try the test with the hdmi again? You open the LCD, press display, and then hold down the Trash button for 10 seconds about- the screen flashes for a second and then you get a live image. *** note -- this only works if you have a memory card installed in the camera ***

Save Yourself some time....
"The camera can record AVCHD movie in SD memory cards up to their full capacities.
However, the camera can record Motion JPEG movie up to 2 GB in SD memory cards. The camera shows the time
it can save (remaining time to record) computed from 2GB space in recording Motion JPEG movie even though
your memory card capacity exceeds 2 GB."
http://avc-cs.panasonic.co.jp/faq/1033/app/servlet/qadoc?QID=002074
What Class is your SD card?
...because it "is strongly recommended to use SD memory cards whose card classes are larger than Class 6 for movie recording. For
Motion JPEG movie recording with the quality HD, WVGA or VGA fast type SD memory cards labeled as at least 10 MB/S
is recommended."

Kholi, I'm using Nero to play the files back; you can tell it to display additional data such as bitrate and frame rate. On the 0040.mts file, it drops as low as 6 megabits in places.
Try some full motion shots in FHD and SH mode (shoot basically the same thing) and try playing them back in Nero, or, if you don't have nero, shoot 'em on over and I'll try 'em.
