whay you would suggest to not have any limit of recording, with a 45mb/s Sd card?

Honestly, since I myself do not have the card, I hardly know the result in it. However, the feedbacks about the use in the card are got from the users of my settings. Please try some of my newest settings on a trial.

Hi guys,

whay you would suggest to not have any limit of recording, with a 45mb/s Sd card? I'm having problems with some drifwood, cannot going on after 11 minutes (more or less), and i would like to try some different solutions (having problems with FM and Premiere CS6...)

THANKS SO MUCH

*Only 720/50p,60p were changed from BETA4.1. :-)

This TYPE-ZERO4 is also the version as which "balance of gradation and resolving" was considered in all the modes. (Scaling Matrices are the same as TZ3 or previous Lite.)

I think that the freezing issue at the moment of the focusing and zooming was solved nearly perfectly also in Panny lens use.

@rahorto

Many thanks for trying Valkyrie! :-)

when I tried to shoot in 720 at 60fps for a slow motion shot, it froze up very quickly and the video file was corrupted.

Based on the feedback from you, I will improve it further. Many thanks for replying the following questions.

Could you tell me which version did you try? There are already some BETA versions also in TZ4.

And would you also tell me the card which you used? In my verification, it is not available in cards other than SanDisk 95MB/s SDXC.

Furthermore, did you use the iA and i-DRC? Even in the latest BETA4.1, iA mode and i-DRC is not available in only 720/60p.

Finally, in what kind of scene did it freeze? Close-up or wide shot?

Thanks! :-)

I shot with the Valkyrie 444 TYPE-ZERO4 last night. It worked great except when I tried to shoot in 720 at 60fps for a slow motion shot, it froze up very quickly and the video file was corrupted. I am not sure if that is normal for this hack though, as I haven't read through all of the pages. In 24p it worked great though :)

UPDATE: 7-18-2013: Valkyrie 444 TYPE-ZERO4 BETA 4=Death Screen Test

I retested your updated patch Valkyrie 444 TYPE-ZERO4 BETA 4 with the DEATH CHART with the following settings and lenses.

Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB 95MB/s card Panasonic 20mm 1.7 @ F4, ISO 640, Shutter Speed 50/60, White Balance Set to Daylight Balance Setting, Video Mode in Fully Manual with no i-DRC or iA modes.

24P H Mode Shutter speed 50 = Recorded the DEATH CHART for 30 minutes no issues or freezing etc so I stopped the recording. Repeated the test again with same results.

HBR30p mode Shutter speed 60 = In this recording mode the results were inconsistent while recording DEATH CHART... The first recording stopped at 7 minutes, camera frozen had to pull battery. The second test recorded for 14 minutes before the camera froze, I had to pull the battery on this one as well. I repeated the test for a total of 6 times with similar results.

I am not sure if anything that I would film would stress the camera as much as the DEATH SCREEN. But it is definitely reassuring to know that it can pass this test. Thanks again for updating the patches.

I updated five settings to the occasion which improved 24p of Valkyrie 444 TZ4 in response to the request from @Azo.

Specifically, I tried to adopt also in the 24p theory has been adopted in rec modes other than 24p.

It is the same from previous versions other than 24p.

Explanation will be added later.

bkmcwd "GOLGOP3-13-A2_BETA10" - seti.ini - Released 18/07/2013

@ GOLGOP3-13 lovers :-)

I release the new "GOLGOP3-13-A2" and "GOLGOP3-13-MAX2" settings.

All of these matrices are the same as before. The changed parts are in 1080i and 720p.

*These are given the same tuning as "Duke" so that the bit rate may go up in 24p rather than the previous BETA versions.

*These have passed the continuation zooming test for 6 minutes or more with Panny AF lens.

*About spanning, these have not fully been verified yet.

*Please try them! And many thanks for feedbacks from you!

*If these are also still unstable, I will further adjust.

Special thanks to All silent users of my settings! :-)

And especially thanks to Nick @driftwood. :-)

*Of course, already combined with excellent audio tune @thepalalias's "Pasadena_Pulse_Audio_V2_Beta2"

NOTE:

*'MAX' version and 'A' version are completely the same except 24p.

*The original matrix is adopted in the newest GOLGOP3-13s. It is the middle of a Sedna matrix and a stock character. If I say plainly, it will be the Sedna matrix optimized in 3GOP structure.

*24H and 24L are high quality 3GOP setting with mega size I-frames in GOLGOP3-13-A2.

*24H and 24L are high quality 3GOP setting with super mega size I-frames in GOLGOP3-13-MAX2.

*24p80%(30p) is available in only 24L (MAX2).

*60i, 50i, HBR30p and HBR25p are also high quality and stable 3GOP settings.

*720/50p and 720/60p are 6GOP. It has tuned up so that the bit rate at the time of motion may go up rather than the time of statics.

*I especially recommend you use with SanDisk 95MB/s 64GB SDXC card.

*In camera playback is available in all rec mode except 24p of GOLGOP3-13-MAX2, at least available after reboot the camera.(Not tested full yet, but probably)

*EX Tele, iA mode work.(Not tested full yet, but probably) (Take care only in 60fps modes)

*Spanning in 24H, 24L with SanDisk 95MB/s 64GB SDXC Card. Also in other rec mode, almost available.(Not tested full yet, but probably)

*Spanning in other cards needs to be tested.

Duke BETA4

bkmcwd "Duke_BETA4" - sete.ini - Released 18/07/2013

"Duke" is a new setting based on the new concept, but it is in the structure high reliability at the same time.

If the character of Duke is denoted by a word, it may be said that it is "middle of the GOLGOP3-13 and GOP3ZILLA".

Or more simply, it will be the setting "which raised resolving of GOLGOP3-13 more."

For the Suites by, I am not sure yet whether the best in this. However, I think that both of GOLGOP3-13 and GOP3ZILLA users are pleased with this.

Previously, I prepared the standard type and the Lite type also in Duke . However, even in the "standard" type, in-camera playback is possible almost, this update is only in the "Standard". If you need a "Lite" type, then I will also provide it.

Please tell me your impressions! If this is also still unstable, I will further adjust. :-)

*The original matrix is adopted in the newest Duke.

*24H and 24L are high quality 3GOP setting with mega size I-frames in Duke.

*24p80%(30p) is available in only 24L.

*60i, 50i, HBR30p and HBR25p are also high quality and stable 3GOP settings.

*720/50p and 720/60p are 6GOP. It has tuned up so that the bit rate at the time of motion may go up rather than the scene of statics.

*I especially recommend you use with SanDisk 95MB/s 64GB SDXC card.

*In camera playback is available in all rec mode, at least available after reboot the camera.(Not tested full yet, but probably)

*EX Tele works.(Not tested full yet, but probably)

*iA mode works in 1080/50i, HBR25p, 720/50p modes.You need to be careful in 720/60p and 1080/60i. (Not tested full yet, but probably)

*i-Dynamic Range Control is not often available in 720/60p and 1080/60i.(You must be careful when using it in these modes.)

*Spanning in 24H, 24L with SanDisk 95MB/s 64GB SDXC Card. Also in other rec mode, almost available.(Not tested full yet, but probably)

*Spanning in other cards needs to be tested.

@bkmcwd Thanks. Makes sense really.

Would you say that GOLGOP3 is good for 720p high motion. It seems very robust in shooting fast motion without mud. So I am pretty happy, but if anyone wants to chime in with a better patch, I'd be interested

@rsquires

Thanks for your question. :-)

So my question is what is the difference between Max2 and A2?

*'MAX' version and 'A' version are completely the same except 24p.

In a nutshell the difference in 24p is "whether the playback in the camera is possible".

In the MAX version, providing higher image quality by using the huge I-frame that can not play back in the camera.

In the A version, providing high image quality with the I-frame of the maximum that can be played back in the camera.

@towi

Many thanks for feedbacks from you, mate. :-)

I know that you like my Spizz T4. And I can understand that you like the BETA1 in the Duke BETA series.

In both those, GOP table that prioritizes static is adopted. I do not deny it, but the GOP table have a static priority, bit rate may somewhat decrease in motion. Since I'm always aiming the best balance between motion and static, personally, I do not have a preference so much GOP table of Spizz T4.

BTW, how is it about new GOLGOP3-13s?

Many many thanks again.

rsquires

@bkmcwd I am having a hard time figuring out what is what here. There's so much to chose from it is a tad confusing. I did use GOLGOP3-13 from way back in April so I am assuming the latest release should be the best and greatest.

So my question is what is the difference between Max2 and A2? I am specifically interested in good motion from 720p PAL mode.

All the best

@bkmcwd

Hi Mate!

How is it about Duke?

Honestly, you are updating all your settings faster than I am able to test run them :-))

I've sucessfully tested Duke Beta 1 in HBR/25p mode (only HBR/25p!!). I haven't had the time to test Duke Beta 2 or Beta 3. Looking at the settings (the values you've altered) I guess I'd prefer Duke Beta 1 over Duke Beta 3 for 25p.

From the charts I've stored (based on codec torture, outdoor daylight and lowlight tungsten tests) I think Duke (Beta 1) is a great setting for 25p. Actually I think I prefer it over the latest version of GOLGOP3 for 25p because I think it's somewhat better in lowlight (while pretty much the same as GOLGOP3 A2 Beta 6 in high def. bright scenes... but Duke shows smoother motion than GOLGOP3 A2 Beta 6).

I have to say currently I am a bit overwhelmed by the variations of your settings. I know for sure that I like Valkyrie 444 TZ2 for it's smooth and flat look. I feel that I prefer Valkyrie TZ4 over TZ3 as a "sharper" setting (more testing required - but this is my impression right now). Then again Duke (Beta 1) is also very sharp and, again, it performs really well in lowkey scenes (better than Valk. TZ3 or TZ4). If I'd had to choose 3 settings for 25p right know I think I would take Spizz (your T4 version, of course) as a fantastic and rock solid overall setting, Duke Beta 1 for lowkey scenes (maybe also as an overall setting...?) and Valkyrie 444 TZ2 for portraits/people (or whenever I want a smoother and flatter look). So if you want so... GOLGOP3, GOP3ZILLA and Valkyrie TZ3 and TZ4 are somehow out of the race for me right now :-) ... but I still have to do more tests with 24p (and 720p50) before I draw final conclusions. Ugh ... again, I am bit confused about the purpose of all the settings since I could not keep track ... However MANY thanks - in some way they are all great :-)
