There are several ways to deal with PsF properly. The 1080i stuff has iPiPiP etc... the P frame is the unnecesary interlace incroporated into the file. To get the progressive content out of the wrapper you have to use a PsF application.

Thanks.. i ll try them and report back.

where can i find them (AQUAMOTION)?

@JDN Good point mate ;-) @toxotis70 @spanfreaks Even though AQuamotion was made for EX TELE and 80% Slow mode it does work for spanning on normal settings.

Hi @Sohus Shouldn't take too long to get your GH2 back, one of my 3 broke a few weeks back - it was hacked to death of course, and had a few dead EVF pixels, but I had it back inside 8 days with no questions asked ;-) The engineer was saying that theyve had a few cases where 'accidental touching of buttons during firmware update or/and with not fully charged battery' cause most the breaks ;-)

Lenses: If you can afford it, the Voigtlander 0.95 thats great, FD adapter to Cannon FD 85mm 1.2 or 55mm 1.2 and I must say I'm mighty impressed with some of the old Olympus OM lenses - especially the fast ones - I love the 50mm Macro f2 (rare) the 35mm f2 (fairly rare), the 50mm 1.2 and 55mm 1.2 are also quite excellent (but rare and expensive). OM to m3/4 adapters are in good supply on ebay. Also with an EOS to m4/3 adaper I got my Cannon 70-200 2.8L working nicely.
Finally, the Panny Asphericals:- 7-14mm wide is brilliant and the pancake 1.7 20mm. Of course there's many other great lenses out there.

@BenjaminDUPLAIX In particular try AVCCAM SD Card File Recovery for mac or pc. It will restore and rebuild the file structure and contents of the PRIVATE folder etc..

@driftwood
I use 30mb/s genuine sandisk
My tests are pretty tough but not anything you wouldn't encounter on a real world event capture. AF on, pans and zooms, move from bright outside to dim inside.

about 720/60p:

seaquake works with 20mm lens. Fails with 14-140. I lowered aq to 1 and 14-140 worked.

However if I recorded longer than about 30 sec with 14-140 it won't play back in the camera. First time that's happened! Less than 30 seconds and it played back in camera.
both clips played back on computer and stream parser showed nothing odd.

@driftwood I've just tested your last patch. And It worked for 3 minutes and crash the camera. Now, It doesn't
want to record at all (Speed limit error), on my sandisk extreme pro 45MBps

@chauncy thanks for the test. what sd card did you use? weve had no problems here with 30Mb/s and 45Mb/s cards with 720p60. Ive yet to test it on my 14-140s but it was fine on a variety of manual lenses and the 1.7 panny pancake.

Hint: Try taking down 60fps a thousand at a time on the frame limits until it works with your card with 720p60. You can play with AQ for 720p and make it = 1 too.

@driftwood

about seaquake
the 24p is stable. I don't use any interlace setting because they are evil.

I realize 720/60p is by far the toughest to get working at higher bitrates. With seaquake, it fails on both sh an h quality settings. With 14-140 lens and slow zooms and pans, af on. Fails in about 5-6 seconds. I use only class 10 genuine sandisk.

Aquaris 2 was more stable for 720 as I recall.

What do you recommend to get 720 60 more stable?

I can raise gop and play with aq. I don't quite understand the frame buffers and frame limits.

It's what I was refering to, in my last post : The 4,29GB limit of these patches. It's a limitation of the FAT32 format. But the camera should jump to another file when the first one hit 4,29GB. It does when your are recording at 60mbps or less, but It crash when your are over 60mbps
