    Do not worry :-)
    PAL/NTSC will be switchable after porting.
  • @rumi: relax. with the hack you can switch between pal and ntsc.

    Update: Vitaliy was faster – as ever.

    From my point of view it looks progressive when imported in to a 25P Media Composer project,
    if it's wrapped I don't really know. I'll let the experts decide.

    If it matters iso160 Minolta 1.4 MD 50mm @ f8

  • it's safe tu upgrade the new firmware with an hacked or I have to install the old 1.0 firmware and upgrade it from there

  • @chef .. I do not know if it is safe
    I reinstalled original firmware before updating and my GH2 successfully updated, and works :)
  • @chef

    Of course you don't need to reinstall enything.
    If you want to upgrade, just do so. It is safe and sound.
  • @Vitaliy_Kiselev so directly from the aquamotion patch I have on with no troubleshoting..am I rigth?
  • @chef
    Yes. You don't need to ask twice :-)
    Of course, no patches will work with v1.11 firmware.
  • @Vitaliy_Kiselev sorry Master I just wanted to make sure, without comprimising my gh2 !Many thanks
  • I like this so far :-)
    Vitaliy with new hack will help us spice it up even more :-)
  • Could somebody check whether there are some B-frames on 720p50/60 with the new firmware
  • i updated to 1.1 and then downgraded to version 1.0 without any problem
  • its 1080 25p for sure, but its wrapped in i mode...
    FCPX doesn't understand it as progressive, premiere does .
  • this is from Avid composer 6.... it reports 25 interlace too.
    25p output , wrapped in 25i

  • @kavadni:
    I can bet one finger it's progressive. :) You can even choose which one.
    Here's a crop. Opened in VirtualDub through directshow import plugin.
    I couldn't care less about the wrapper, this content is progressive. :)

  • content is progressive, for sure!
    But its wrapped ... some programs may have problem with that.
    And when you have footage from other source (i have sony nex 5n too) , maybe there will be a problem (sony is shooting native 25-50 p)
  • @duartix exactly .. awesome isn't it?
    @toxotis70 .. I am budgeting to upgrade from 5.5.3 so I can use blackmagic products.
    I didn't think to open as AMA
  • @derek i updated to 1.1 and then downgraded to version 1.0 without any problem

    Interesting, thanks!
    Did you use the leaked 1.0 firmware directly or did you process it in ptool (with all option unchecked) before downgrading?
  • @tida Nope no B-frames on 720p modes, but there are with 1080i modes now
  • Thanks @Dazza

    Could somebody check whether 720p will be disabled if external HDMI Monitor is connected
  • 5min
    i yes update like before,i yes use the patch from driftwood and use the leaked 1.0 firmware in to ptool.
  • I would also like to know if 720p is disabled when u go to liev view on hdmi.
  • What's about AF-Tracking in Video Mode. Did they implement that without mentioning it?
  • @Vitaliy_Kiselev
    When the new Ptool for 1.1 firmware is ready I gues many of us would like to know if ini-files for "old" Ptool 3.62 and 3.63 will work with the new version. this would then give us a jump-start into the new one.
