    @driftwood 6:04AM ...Here's very high HBR 25p and 720p plus everything else....

    Just come back from town testing V2b (not final):

    Results: SDXC 95MB/s 64GB. - 14-45mm Pana - Iso 160 outside-640 inside -3200 Underground.

    PAL land.24p = no playback in camera, camera stops, restart by removing battery. Mjpeg = card speed/reed error after some seconds, shut down, restart by removing.... HBR = Works fine.

    Result quality playback: top quality in 24p, visible worse quality in HBR comparing 24p
    no flowmotion in the seconds with Mjpeg, HD result simply not usable.

    Only had positiv, impressiv results with all driftwood patches before !???

    2c for both. There will be v3 in a weeks time.

    @Driftwood, is Cluster v2c for for Pal users or for NTSC ?? Thank you for your great work and your time.

    whole video filmed with use of GH2 with Sedna patch and with Wondlan Carbon:

    Enjoy and spread some LOVE!

    Shot with the Helios 44M and a Cinemorph filter from vid-atlantic to emulate a vertically stretched bokeh aka anamorphic. Sedna Q20a. Tried to make everything soft and vintage in grading. Read info on Vimeo if interested. Enjoy.

    @driftwood Thanks! :D

    Here's very high HBR 25p and 720p plus everything else... Please now try Cluster v2c FINAL as P frames on 24p have been slightly tweaked at GOP memory level.

    Which one of driftwoods hacks are best for video high detail and works well with HBR 25p PAL?

  • peternappeternap

    @SisterCities I used my normal walking around lens. A 55mm Nikkor 2.8 micro Nikon mount adapted.

    This patch was worth waiting for. The low light test was next so I drove to town and started shooting a Burger King from about 200 yards at ISO 800. It is amazing! Some noise but fine grained and good sharp images in the lighted areas. That's in 720-60.

    Tomorrow I'll start panning and give it the "I screwed up, can I save the clip" test...Kinda like twit of the year.

  • SisterCitiesSisterCities

    @peternap that looks awesome... which lens did you use?

  • peternappeternap

    @strancali I don't do much slow motion but what I do is in 720-60 Faster shutter speeds are necessary. 1/1000 to 1/2000

    @Driftwood Yep, I think you lived up to your reputation, http://s198.photobucket.com/albums/aa57/peternap/?action=view&current=cluster2-test.jpg

  • luxisluxis

    new cluster coming :)

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Cluster is all about experimenting with different GOPs after people requested long recording times with good quality. Cluster 2A NTSC was the version I was experimenting over the last 5 or 6 weeks. However, Cluster2B PAL edition contains a differing set of GOPs and some extreme settings whiich Ive been messing with in the last week... results of experiments up soon.

  • strancalistrancali

    @peternap Peter, so if I want to shoot mainly for slowmo, should i use 720p or Motion JPEG recording mode?

  • rsquiresrsquires

    I have Sedna AQ1 but it was probably saved using PTools 6.4. Is there any difference between a version saved with the latest Ptool 3.65d? Do I have to update each patch everytime Ptool changes?

  • peternappeternap

    @driftwood OK Nick. This is cluster 1. Let's see if you outdid yourself with cluster 2

  • strancalistrancali

    Thank you Nick. I'm new to the Cluster versions so would you say that this is good as a 720p solution for slowmo?

  • peternappeternap

    Thanks Nick!

  • driftwooddriftwood

    NTSC edition going up now on page 1. 24p on 12 GOP going from 23Mbps upto 90+Mbps according to detail, this is a step up from cbrandin 66M settings (regular i frames of 1,180,000 in size on high detail). HBR modes run close on the same detail. 720p60 should work great too. Though PAL modes work too, a specialised PAL version is being primed at the moment.

  • tinbeotinbeo

    I was anxious waiting but just kidding. Big thanks and appreciate your talent and kind to this community.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Got delayed last night going out... I'll load it up in an hour or two.
