GH1: Blackout-Powell Native 24p settings v2
  • LPowellLPowell
    As you've no doubt heard, the latest version of PTool 3.55d liberates all previously unhackable versions of the GH1. In addition, it provides a variety of new patches that I've been able to incorporate into the Blackout-Powell Native 24p Patch, making it more versatile than ever.

    To make use of these new features, download PTool 3.55d from the following link:

    For version 2 of the Blackout-Powell Native 24p Patch, I've prepared a choice of two INI settings files that differ only in the settings for the MJPEG 30p modes:

    * For use with standard lenses, the standard patch will produce two types of MJPEG videos:

    HD mode: 1280x720 HD videos in 4:2:2 color depth, with peak bitrates up to around 60Mbps.
    VGA mode: 960x720 iPad-compatible videos, with peak bitrates up to 30Mbps.

    * For use with anamorphic lenses, the anamorphic patch supports two different squeeze ratios:

    HD mode: 1920x720 videos optimized for 1.5X anamorphic lenses, with peak bitrates up to 50Mbps.
    VGA mode: 1920x720 videos optimized for 2X anamorphic lenses, with peak bitrates up to 50Mbps.

    And you expect that?
    This is files with settings that you must save to PTool folder.

    I think you have to be logged in order to download the files.

    Cheers,

    @ teeks: dude, save it, unzip it to the same folder as Ptool, then launch ptool. Done!

    Yeah, it is true.
    After next major script update I'll fix it (but I am still not sure if we need this).

    I have a question about this particular patch...

    I've changed only one setting in this file. I changed the MJPEG 480p size setting from 960x720 to 1280x720. This way I can get in camera playback and a little more recording time in the WVGA MJPEG setting.

    So in MJPEG I get:
    1280x720p30 in HD
    1280x720p30 in WVGA
    480p in VGA
    480p in QVGA

    My question is, how different is the HD from WVGA now that I changed the pixel size? How far off is the compression settings? I'm not too sure how much quality loss I am getting from shooting WVGA with my settings, but I really like my in camera playback.

    Two example of use the GH1 camera with this settings:

    Both using smooth mode, the first one is color corrected:

    The second one is without correction and grading, I'm working on grading and final cut.

    This one is the my last work with GH1, I upgraded on GH2.
