You need to use patches from the first post.

@LPowell thanks for the patches!

@LPowell
When reading through various threads here I kind of got the idea, that the 75Mbps was no longer developed or replaced by the MaxLat. patch. Will try it immediately, and also the second one.
Many thanks!

Hey LPowell,

is there any relevant (IQ-wise) GH1 patch in between the High reliability in-camera playback patch v2 @40Mbit for FullHD AVCHD to the bottom and the Max Lat. Patch on the top?
I don´t neccesarily need 25p although I wouldn´t mind it. But I have NeoScene and am very happy with that.

On my Sandisks class10 30MB/s and with the "new codec tests chart PAPPASARTS.jpg" I immediately have issues with my cam hanging. (F5, Iso400). So I´d like to aim a little lower but the next best reliable patch is 60Mbit down? That´s why I´m asking.

Thanks for your advice!

Yes, the GH1 Reliable In-Camera Playback Patch v2 works in all versions of PTool from 3.55d up through the current version.

i'm now copying this settings in the ptool.

@Lpowell says: "At playback, the file is decoded back into a 50i stream, the player or editor recognizes that the video was originally progressive, and then reconstructs the 50i fields back into a 25p video stream."

I assume this also applies to 24p footage in a 60i wrapper. Given this, I'm curious why folks are so interested in a Native 24p setting. It sounds like it really doesn't matter if the footage is 24p in a 60i wrapper or not. If the 60i wrapper setting is more stable, why not stick with that setting? Can someone please explain to me if there are any advantages to having the "truly" native 24p? Thanks!

@Nic If you are worried about warranty, you probably should stay away from hacking your camera. It is not completely foolproof even though you can go back to original firmware. For example: your camera stops working completely with the hack installed (an unlikely but possible scenario, say you drop it) and you are unable to reload the original firmware, then sending it back to Panasonic can be a problem...

@Nic
In 1080p PAL mode on the GH1, the image sensor is scanned progressively at 25p. However, each 25p frame is then split into a pair of interlaced 50i fields, and encoded into AVCHD. At playback, the file is decoded back into a 50i stream, the player or editor recognizes that the video was originally progressive, and then reconstructs the 50i fields back into a 25p video stream.

If you simply reinstall Panasonic's original GH1__132.bin firmware back into the GH1, Panasonic will have no way of detecting that the camera was ever hacked.

I've imported this discussion over from dvxuser as Vitaliy prefer all hack discussions here now and i'm cool with that.

I'm hoping to continue the discussion here.
Here is the Discussion.

lpowell, what do you say about reworking the reliable patch with the new ptools, to give 25p on FHD, instead of in an interlaced stream. Surely something that made the V2 Max Lat so reliable would also work on the Reliable patch but keep SH at 50p.

Thanks R

It's an intriguing question, Rambo, whether there's a bitrate low enough for Native 25p to work as robustly as the Reliable In-Camera Playback Patch does in non-native mode. I'll see what I can do, though I have a video shoot this weekend and won't be able to take a fresh look at the patch before next week.

Rambo Said -
Ok thanks lpowell, i would try it myself only my previous attempt's at modifying your patches have been disastrous. I'm thinking this would complete the range of patches and finally get the interlaced monkey off our back and have a patch that is all progressive based, but 99.99% reliable for those people who just want a mild overclock not a supercharged version like Max Lat V2.

I was thinking of getting a GF1 because of this hack. But because of the firmware block I had decided not to buy it. Does this hack bypass the GF1 firmware ver1.24 block?

>Hello, I think the latest firmware is GH1 v1.34. Is this correct? If so, can we reset back to that after hack?

This is offtopic here.
And answer is simple - you can't. And I see no need for this.

Great news and thank you for your explanation. I'm mainly interested in photography, but once I installed your Fast Action patch, the video looked so beautiful, that I started to make short movies as well :) Will stay on this patch for now then and will be curious about version 2...thanks again :)
