@casper Did you skip to read LPowell's first post? The very highest value of this patch is in its using of the Q. Of course auto Q function is unchecked, it is all about Q's fine tuning to avoid GH2's macroblocking. LPowell worked for months on the Q, I belive.

@utilinet In situations where you need to pack longer video clips into an SD card, I'd recommend trying FM2's 60Mbps modes: 24L, FH, and H. These settings work the same as the corresponding 100Mbps modes with just a notch more compression, and support 4GB file-spanning on Class 10 SD cards.

Hi all, I tested this hack my GH2 with Motion Flow v2.2 but I find it super hard to pass a 64GB card can hold 7 hours of video in only 1 hour of video. So I would like to know what are the parameters to keep in changes to keep the video quality while reducing the flow may be, I would try to work for the above may at least reduce the video card 4h. Thank you.

Thanks for the conpliments and reply @tetakpatak . I'm using the Sandisk 32gb 45MB/s card perhaps I was pushing the limits of that card at the point of the freeze?

@ScubaBob wonderful underwater shots, bravo! The fishes were not scared, you move quietly :-)

About freezing: happens here and there, but which SD card did you use? Speaking only out of my own experience, the best card for the GH2 is Sandisk SDXC 95MB/s 64GB and I don't use any other cards anymore. Also freezing appears very seldom compared to other cards I used before.

in fact my card is a Sandisk Extreme SDXC 64GB 45MB / s class 10 and 1, is that it is good and on average how much can I save in time with Flowmotion?

Otherwise should appoint as the original hack GH2_V11 before putting on the map? How to revert to the original if desired???

Thank you for helping the beginner that I am.

@LPowell Hi LPowell, apologies if this was asked before. I've been reading the threads and couldn't find an answer. I'm wondering if it's possible or makes sense (in case it's possible) to raise the lowest bitrate setting to a higher setting, so for example the lowest bit rate we get is at least 30/40 mbps? Thanks!

Anyone test Flowmotion with a different GOP to see if it disappears the Digital Rain on CS6?

i'm new to flowmotion, just to know, when i hit record the colorson the screen change a bit, is it normal?

I've been using FlowMotion 2.02 on about 5 dives (I bought the GH2 for underwater filming) so far and have been really impressed with the results:

On the last dive, however, the camera locked up (picture froze on the lcd about 7 seconds into a clip). I couldn't do anything underwater to unfreeze the camera (turning on/off, mode dial all did nothing. After the dive I removed the camera from the housing and removed and replaced the battery and everything resumed to normal (of course the last clip was not saved). On the next dive I was about to get a few minutes of shooting in with the remaining battery life with no issues (I was not able to charge the battery after the camera was froze with LCD on for about 120 minutes).

I was shooting in NTSC HBRp30, which I've use successfully before. The only difference was that this was my first time using the Oly 12-50mm macro lens (and was using the power zoom and macro mode). Can this type of behavior be expected every so often with the patch?

The other thing is about FM and TimeBuster. When I add TB, 24P mode is shooting at 2fps. Does it change anything else in other film options or not interfere in FlowMotion settings?

Wasn't it so, that these 2fps settings are only for the MJPEG part? I tried this a while ago. I simply added these timelapse settings to the MJPEG part of the PTools with FlowMotion settings loaded before. So I had FlowMotion in all modes and did timelapse recordings by simply switching to MJPEG. MJPEG is limited to 2GB filesize, but after all changes I can record around an hour or so - enough for most of my timelapse experiments.

What are your favorite Film Modes for Flow Motion? Mine are...

SMOOTH -2 -1 -2 -2

NOSTALGIC -2 -1 0 -1
