    @mozes yes I usually use a little color grading in the post (Vegas 10 Pro) - no MagicBullet or others film-modus: neutral -2-2-1-2

  • itimjimitimjim

    Agreed @pinger007. I'm assuming if people don't know the answer to hand, they point folk in the direction of the FAQ/Wiki. That's helping. The option is stay silent and don't suggest the FAQ for fear of reprieve.

    Anyway....Quantum 9b......

  • itimjimitimjim

    @mbowen84 Just lay off the sarcastic replies when someone offers you some help, even if it wasn't exactly what you was looking for. That's what riles people up, especially when you're coming across as petulant and wanting to be spoonfed.

    Respect for the work you've done, I like it - a lot - but a shot across the bows like that isn't necessary, or very grown up.

  • pinger007pinger007

    You both make good points, but can we get back on topic please. I hate having to weed through a bunch of childish back n forthin order to find something useful. Come to think of it, a simple yes or no answer at the begining would have kept this forum topic less cluttered... something to think about.

    @ignatius of coarse the world don't owe me anything, i'm not sure how a simple question got you guys so fired up!! i got off my a$$ and off the computer and went & shot something! I suggest you do the same, all the camera picture quality in the world won't make you a better filmmaker!

    Ive been shooting with the hack since it first come out, i'm not a newbie by all means, i just haven't been on here in a while because i've been busy shooting my new tv show with my gh2

  • ignatiusignatius

    Exactly. @mbowen84, you're like a child that wonders into the middle of a movie...the world doesn't owe you a living dude. Take your head out of your arse and adhere to protocol...

  • itimjimitimjim

    Indeed you have @balazer and I thank you for one. Some folk just don't understand that you can't come rushing in like a 6 year old asking Daddy "what's this for, what's that for?". Show some respect folks, read, search, read some more,....and then ask a question. And by then, you'll also know the appropriate place for the question.

    And I mean no offense by that @mbowen84. Just this place (and other Internet forums) would be bedlam if we don't have some form of etiquette.

  • balazerbalazer

    @mbowen84, I put a lot of effort into making the FAQs relevant and thorough, and EASY for a newbie like you. This topic is not for basic and beginner questions.

    @mbowen84, you can read the FAQs. They are up to date.

    can anyone tell me if 30p is working yet with the hack?

  • mozesmozes

    @But, you are Adam?
    i did watch some clips, and they are very well color balanced.
    i like the colors, anything special on your settings?

    Testing the capabilities of Quantum V9b. It seems to hold up very well when really pushing the colors around. 100% saturation + Neat Video as well, no sharpening.

    Hi @Driftwood and everybody,

    I'm a new guy here. So, excuse me if I’m asking something that was answered before. What is the name of the BEST GH2 patch (as of today) for 1080p24H in terms of getting the maximum quality for filmmaking (not docs!)?

    I mean the patch that has the best STABLE maximum settings for 1080p24 (GOP1, AVCHD INTRA, maximum frame size, maximum bitrate/attention to ALL details/shadows/low light etc.). And could you provide any gradation of the existing stable patches (best, second-best etc.) with respect to the above said?

    I’m asking this question for those who “don’t care” about huge file sizes caused by high bitrates and extreme settings.

    P.S. So far, I’m using “Driftwood: GOP1 176M (15% Higher i Frames)” and I’m pretty happy with that. But I’ve decided to «move further» :-)

    Thanks a lot.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    chauncy re: 720p/60p H did you stick it up on the chart? streameye and streamparser tests please.

  • JspatzJspatz

    Quantum beta 3 is the only one I have found that can play back spanned 24l 1080p in camera.

    NINE Updated GH2-X v4 in the patches vault thread

    regarding lumix lens on this patch. for the 60p/ i settings. using both sandisk 30mb/sec and 95mb/sec

    1080i 60 write errs in all situations. as does 720/60 on sh

    720/60p on H setting seems to be fairly stable. It also spans on the 95mb/sec card. This is the first 720/60p higher bitrate setting that can do that.

    Used Quantum 100 on short film shoot ... Used 24H all throughout on 32 GB 30MB/s sandisk ... No issues ... Spanned liked butter ... and every challenging conditions ... never failed even using Extele ... recorded in 300% variable movie in 24L mode up to 12 mins ... even 720 50fps is spanning in both SH and H ... but fails in Extele due to card writing speed error ... 60fps there seems to problem but i am yet to explore it properly. @driftwood I just wonder if there could be a variant Quantum 9vb where L is setting could be similar to Quantum 100's H is settings ... as i could see Quntum 100's H is 100mb/s and Quantum 9vb's 24L is 112mb/s ... AQ is 3-most detail ... Is it safe to change the settings to of Quantum 9Vb's L setting similar to Quantum 100's H settings as it is spanning on class 10 30MB/s card. or Is it safe to change Quantum 100's H settings to Match Quantum 100's H settings ... as @Lpowell warned us on modular patch thread not to mix and match patches ... I just want to explore if there is any way i can use Quantum 9vb 24 H along with reliably spanning 24L and 720 H if not SH. Even without it i am staying with Quantum 100 for now. WIll post the result as soon as my internet speed issue is resolved
