Lumix GH1 hack-instellingen

De beste instellingen voor GH1 MJPEG-en AVCHD-Hack

Professionele films? Beste instellingen voor GH1 MJPEG-en AVCHD-Hack

GH13 werd mogelijk gemaakt door heilige Tester13. De input nummers gaan in zijn Ptool firmware update tool, die wordt geleverd door de heilige Tester13 en zijn machtige bemanning van programmeurs, code crackers, design fellowers, design testers en cummonity supporters.

Wat de enthousiaste hackers hebben niet verteld, is dat de verbeterde Mbit ernstige ongevallen veroorzaakt in het midden van de opnames! Dit gebeurt vaak met een hoge gedetailleerde rijke motion scènes met een hoog Mbit / s. Alle cinematografische creatief beeldmateriaal verloren gaat als je niet oppast op de gehackte instellingen.

Creative Cinematographic Filming with MJPEG settings

- T = 4 4,4,4,4 is the lowest possible setting it seems.
There are rumors, e.g. PappasArts has proven, that the YCC 4:2:2 mode seems not working perfectly yet.
True cinematographic proportions and native sensor halving 1088x612 are now in test.

Creative Cinematographic Filming with AVCHD264 settings

- AVCHD 1920x1080 is sharper than MJPEG 1920x1080. Less color banding, more colour space, smaller files.
- PAL users: convert to NTSC, to achieve 24p miraculously. Plus bit more bandwidth headroom at your disposal.
- Our own test for 1920x1080 stable settings: 52 / 52 / 52 / 60 / 70 and GOP=4 on NTSC formatted class10 Transcend 16GB card Zeiss and Canon 50mm primes at aperture f/2.8 - f/16 to get maximum detail, finding reliability needs really tight aperture = lots of detail and spikes, filming urban life of Amsterdam, Holland. It filmed at average of 27 Mbit/s hitting 40 mbit/s max, this is all ACVHD. Practical and professionally reliable long recordings for those pros out there.
- Our test run for an astonishing 01 hours 47 minutes recording continuously, generating massive MTS footage spanning three 4192 MB files and some more over the fourth one: almost full, had it not been for the battery that died... Green nerds wanting to test this at home, set your lcd OFF after you have composed your boring test shot. Battery used was an original one.
- Due to changing Preset Bit rate patch now even higher bit rates.
- HOWEVER: it seems these massive Mbits do not directly improve smoothness: the video hicks, skips some frames once a second or so, as if the choke limitation of 70mbit doesnt allow to dump all frames... Comparing to smoother GOP 6 or 12, this could mean its wasting bandwidth!?
- GOP = 2 gives the smoothest motion, yet requires heavy frame dumping, almost like MJPEG to so say.
- UPDATE: set GOP to 2 for massively high image quality as well. Our socks flew right off our feet!
Best settings so far are at GOP=2 for video smoothness! 24P native, change the Preset Bit rate under Patches for Testers, default was 234. Also I set the Sensor Mode4 under Patches for Testers to nr7, default was 4, sothat my viewfinder would show 23,97 fps smoothly as well. Stay tuned for more daily updates!

Conclusion: GOP must be between 1 - 48. Interesting! Perhaps it was not the GOP 2 that was causing the choke, but just these absurdly high detailed motion scenes at tight apertures. Good news: we CAN use lower GOP and achieve very high Mbits AVCHD, as long as, bad news, we stay out of extremely detailed scenes, since this latter causes the crashes / write speed error / card error. By the way, who is going to turn a tight aperture on a fast prime lens anyways? Lets redo the tests but with wider apertures mimicking more real world bokehs at f1.4 - f/2.8 on our wide primes, on tele you can!

Lets try HD 720p, hoping for massively higher Mbits (=quality) making camera more reliable in extreme detailed motion scenes (trees, water ripple, etc)
