  • What bit rates are you guys/gals seeing in your videos?

  • Alright, I tried out the v.2 on some crappy dead trees/leaves footage and all I could say was "Wow!". Nicely done, Nick!

    Very filmic now!

  • does anyone know if quantum 100v4 is out yet? it is supposed to be optimized for etc 24h and etc 80%? Or is that patch the quantum v4 orion?

  • some great looking footage, is it just me or does these last clips posted seem to have more film like motion,that I have not seen before ,great work VK and Driftwood

  • That's the first thing that I thought of cosimo!

  • Holy crap, look at those skies! Clean stuff, eyefi and Nick.

  • @sebben, In VLC it interprets footage correctly (as in the images above), and in premiere5.5 it shows as progressive. I guess both 5dtorgb or clipwrap exports to prores need to be placed in a progressive timeline in final cut. And because they can't play in VLC (prores) in quicktime it will always be interpreted as interlaced. Hence why it shows as it does. I'm nor sure about this. specially if they would be flagged correctly when placed in final cut.

    Dropframes is another issue. it shows in all this modes, VLC, prores in quicktime, and the original mts in premiere, going frame by frame, it suddenly repeats twice a frame from 10 previous frames, it goes like 1...10, 1, 12, 1, 14, 15.... I can't use streamparser, but i could upload an mts if someone would run it.

    hbr 30p. I did a quick run through with it. It seemed stable on all lens and had a good streamparser graph. Image looked very nice but not an exhaustive test by any stretch. Worked with 95mb and 30mb sandisk. No span test as of yet.

    Worth patching now and testing, I think.

  • What's the state of 1080/30P at the moment? Anyone tested it out yet?

  • @driftwood Ive done a very brief and VERY random day/night test of QX V2 for you in 1080p25 HBR mode, I am very very pleased with this firmware, by far the best (so far) for my needs. I feel there is more 'mosquito' noise in general compared to 24H mode, but I will not cry about it as it is still RIDICULOUSLY good what you have achieved. I had my first ever card lock up (sandisk 30mb/s) on this patch in HBR when I was shooting at 12,800 on the 14mm Lumix, in case that is of any use. Thankyou for your hard work sir.

  • @snoopdog49r

    the current 720p 60 in latest quantum will work in non panasonic prime lens with a fast card.

    Or at least it works a lot better with them.

    I have 3 pan lenses and they will all write error, although I 've had several tests get out to 45 or so seconds. I first test with af off and a stationary scene. But even those write error. The more af and zoom quicker error.

    The first test with a fresh on camera seems to be the most stable. Have no idea why that is, although maybe something to do with the camera warming up. Then again, you'd think you get better results with a warm sensor.

    Always use 95mb 64gb sandisk or at least 30mb/sec, Any other card at this time for 720/60 in quantum wastes everyone's time. It's at least one variable than we can control.

  • (GF2) - Is it normal for StreamParser to show my clip as 1080/24p?

  • @eyefi I have also noticed some interlacing artifacts in 25HBR mode. Clip wrapped also.

  • @driftwood Thanks! No worries I was just curious. I have seen that 720p60 is torture for you through these past few months reading all the posts. I hope you can make it your bitch. : ) Thank you for all you do. You are the effing man!!!!

  • I think Im nocturnal... but my body doesnt...

  • Do you sleep Driftwood? =)

  • 720p60 is the most codec stressing setting out of the lot. There's still things to be learned for 720.

  • I have QuantumX v2 running with a SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB / 95Mbps and the 24p looks great but I am getting card speed limitation errors with 720p60 on SH and H. I have the 20mm pancake and was using autofocus in low light. I haven't really read about anyone with write errors errors the 64/95mbps so I was just curious if this has happened to anyone else.

  • I will do a quick upgrade to v1.1 of all the old fav patches and stick 'em up on the low GOP thread over the weekend.

  • @driftwood, is there a chance that you will make SpanMyBitchUp compatible with v1.1? I love the settings. I not doing any professional work with the camera but only recording my family. I love the improved video over the stock. If you won't have time to revise SpanMyBitchUp, can one simply lower the bit rate on Quantum to around 50-60mbs? Thanks.

    Regards.

  • @tinbeo Official Low GOP topic, series 5, page 1, about 2/3 down the page.

  • Would anyone read this kind enough point me to Where is V1 Rocket ini file? Was it at V2 ini place before? Are these coming V3, V4 replacing V2 place?

  • in 25HBRext everything looks fine

  • Which of these would you reccomeend for etc shooting in 24h, variable speed mode, and720p60?

    I shoot all etc and am currently using aquamotion v2
