  • Shot 24H Sanity V3.1 on an Elite Delkin UHS-1 16GB and a Trascend Class 10 black 32GB. Max clip length 8 minutes 32 seconds, no spanning.

    This was spliced together from some such footage, recompressed as DivX.

  • sanity v3.1
    Lens all the time on 150mm with some parts with tele2.
    all shot in 720p 50 fps (only the last clip is 1080i converted to 1080p 50fps)
    720 upscaled to 1080.

    Not available? then Still uploading

  • Just did a shoot with Sanity 3.1. Some problems:

    • Sandisk HD 30MB/s: shot in 24H only, shooting was fine but I did seem to get some files the camera didn't recognize (take this with a gran of salt as I could've got mixed up between cards). Filled the cards before I could try 1080/60i (but some at-home tests were fine).

    • Generic (7dayshop) Class 10 card: frequent write errors. I shoot 3D with two bodies and have to power-cycle them for each shot. I found that if I wait about 10 secs after turn-on (long after the SD card icon has vanished), the takes then always worked, suggesting the bodies are doing something even after the SD icon disappears. But the camera failed to recognize some takes on playback. 1080/60i FSH takes would always fail within seconds so I gave up trying.

    Before Sanity I used cbrandin's excellent 66M 24H without any recording/playback problems on both card types, so I will integrate that and try to dial down Sanity's 1080/60i until I get something that is reliable on my setup.

  • I used 720 60p SH and got the write errors that locked up the camera, but I was shooting for long periods of time (about a 30-60 seconds per shot). after the third of fourth freeze up I changed over to 720 60p H mode and was able to finish the shoot. I was using the extreme variation. I guess I'll try the other version or try the extreme variation again, but stick to 720p H. Are the extreme variation 720p H settings the same as the non extreme 720p SH?

    anyway here are some shots: interview, realtime action and 80% slow motion action was shot with MJPEG settings of quantum V7. 50% slow motion shots done with extreme THIRTY 720 60p SH an 60p H.

  • "Just to clarify: this patch does not have a 1080i option. By boosting 720, 1080i is made unstable because it is entwined. It is only for 720p 60 SH, and 720p 50 H (60 H will do for spanning). For the extreme, its an unstable 720p 60 SH, and a stable 720p 60 H."

    FSH is only a 1080i option. If you are using the extreme variation, 720 SH is unstable, and should be kept to a few seconds to avoid crash. All other modes are 100% stable, spanning on pulse motion deathchart.

  • @rozroz I tried that patch (GH2-X v3 "THIRTY") and I got several write errors. I had to remove the battery to restart the camera (it did not respond to powering off)...the first time this has happened with any patch. This was in FSH 720. Card Sandisk extreme 32g 30mbs HD video, lenses minolta md 50 and 28mm. I did similar shots using quatum v7 for slow motion, same card and lenses and did not get any errors. I'll be testing out V9b today, with V7 on a card just in case I run into errors I can quickly flash back to V7 which seems to work pretty good. But the "THIRTY" patch locking up the camera is not fun.

    edit:spelling

  • Slomo testing with quantum v7. I'll probably stay with this patch the whole winter

  • Hi Guys!

    is there any patch, what make movie in 1080i or 720p Fsh, Fh) above 44mbit and spanning with my 32gb 30mb/s sandisk card? I try many of patches, but all stop after 4gb record - or it is not see on the unit after record, or had problem with 50i/60i or with ex tele.:(

    So i would search a allinone patch:) or a "general" for longer record, good quality (not want insane). It is impossible? Or i should buy a very expensive 64Gb 95mb/s card?:(

    Thanks! Q

  • @mozes I know what you mean about the 1080i. Over the years I've done many, many, many comparisons between 720P and 1080i, where I blew up the 720 to 1080. Even though I really want the 720P to be better (or at least the same), it just isn't. With a high quality de-interlace, the 1080i wins every time.

  • Just have playing with the 50i video, shot with sanity v3.1
    Here on a local motocross track.
    There is a lot of motion, sharp colors and very fine detail.
    And it looks real good, i mean real good.
    still surprised how far i can push the grading, now i can with 2x the same shots, creating two total different clips.
    > Even when converted to 50p (with VDub bob) it looks great <br

  • @MorphoV Try using H mode for 720 60P and see if that works. SDXC cards are a different beast.

  • Here is my first slow motion test with @Ralph_B 's Sanity V3.1 patch.

    I have to report many writing errors with Transcend SDXC 64GB.

    I'd like to try Driftwood's Quantum patches, but 720p@60 aren't working at all with my card (24p is working though) and it seems I won't be able to find a faster card in Peru.

    I almost forgot to mention that, after applying the patch, the MF guide is updating really slowly in 60p mode. Am I the only one having this issue?

    Thanks to all of you guys, who have been working so hard on this hacking project.

  • @mozes you can switch on all languages and iso lift if you want. Yep, the 60p and 50p stuff should just keep going and accordingly to detail.

  • Just did a fast and dirty test with the 720p 50fps.
    No matter what i did, it keeps going.
    I was really surprised by that, because i did expect a wright error, bu it didn't
    low iso, to 12500 it did no matter, handhold fast moving and fast in and out zooming.
    even tele2 did not give a problem

    for 24p H the same no problems ad all.

    datarate is very different...

    i did not a span test.
    all done on a a scandisk extreme pro 32gb 30m/s

  • driftwood, is there a reason that all languages and max iso limit is not activated in ptools.

  • Forget v8 try this Quantum v9 as 720p50 and 1080i50 are primed too and everything is now under better AVC rate control.

    Driftwood Quantum v9 Beta - setj.zip

  • Could 1080i60/720p60 try out Quantum Beta v8 with some new theories? Its in the patch vault. Thanks.

  • just watched this from Sage:

  • @Hakosuka

    hahaha ;-) good one!

  • @Tommyboy LOL, yes sir yes sir ;)

  • @Hakosuka

    Dude... just do what the Master says LOL ;)

  • @driftwood yh I noticed Beta 7 but 6 is working fine for me so I have no reason to update, not unless there are noticeable differences?

  • @Hakosuka Use Quantum beta 7 rather than 6 now.

  • @mozes oh I see, from what I'm reading here it seems the 64GB is the only way to go then, thanks for the info.

  • Hakosuka its impossible to span on a 8gb cart, you lose some 750mb (dont ask why), so there is not just enough room .
