    Does this also work on the GF2 or is this totally different?
  • mrgroovemrgroove
    BRAVO !!!
  • RomeoRomeo
    man it's already on the patches, see the post
  • jascinationjascination
    Great work Vitaliy. Any word on whether this can get a language change on Japanese GH2s?

    >Is the GH2 original firmware not available on their website anymore?

    Read second post in this topic. Panasonic never released GH2 firmware to public officially.
  • RomeoRomeo
    It never was available from the Panasonic site if that's what you mean, it has leaked and people have been sharing it since

  • dreamerdreamer
    @redsky Thanks

    I've saved the file successfully (GH2__V11.BIN) to the root directory of my SD card. The battery is completely charged , i press and hold the playback button (green arrow) and turn on the camera. And ..... nothing happens. The same when turning on the camera and pressing the play button. The displays turns on instantly. What i'm doing wrong? Nobody reported any problems here.

    >I did over 60 tests today

    Do not rush.
    Plan that you do.
    Use always high detailed target (for bitrate tests).
  • RomeoRomeo
    Has anyone already tested the AVCHD settings to make 1080p59,97? One of my most desired features (if it works)
    Also, has anyone tested if the popular/cheap Transcend 16GB and 32GH (class 10) cards can hold on to the increased bit-rates?
    My GH2 hasn't arrived yet... which I could be joining this boat with you now guys testing stuff, kinda dangerous but super exciting to be a part of the things to be discovered
    Good Luck sailors

    I am using the stream analyzer. I did over 60 tests today and I can't say I see what you are talking about with ettings affecting the footage for a 1-2 seconds with a reset occurring. As a matter of fact I am testing by looking at both the bitrate and and the individual frames. What I am seeing more than anything is a cyclical nature when GOPs run in a form 01001001001, 0 being a 12 frame gop with a relatively low rates for I,p and b frames and 1 being a 12 frame gop with a relatively high rates for i,p and b frames. In other words I would have 1/2 a second of low rate followed by half a second of high rate followed by one second of low rate and then cycling 1/2 second high, 1 second low.

    >Which one? What i want is 1080/50i in 28Mbit

    In GH1 it had been Overall bitrate. Plus you can use Video buffer.
    Again this patches are for testers. You won't get 28Mbit 50i as in GH1. It is too soon for this.
  • dreamerdreamer
    Another stupid question (sorry, i'm new to ptool). When changing "AVCHD Compression" the tip says "you must use other patches to have any effect". Which one? What i want is 1080/50i in 28Mbit

    >But i fail to save the (.bin) file. A message comes up "wrong file name". What is the right one?

    Look at the original name, and made new one changing last digit.
  • dreamerdreamer
    Sorry, maybe stupid question. But i fail to save the (.bin) file. A message comes up "wrong file name". What is the right one?
  • culipculip
    Congrat Vitaly! Hope to see English soon

    >If I apply the 1080/60p encoder can I still switch to 1080/24p in the camera?

    Yes, it is different modes.
    60p is in no way suitable for end users.
    This are testers only thing.
  • Greek_m43Greek_m43
    I've never used ptools before, i just have one question and the rest I'll figure out on my own... If I apply the 1080/60p encoder can I still switch to 1080/24p in the camera?
  • SageSage
    how to address that reset...
    hmmm... encoder settings?
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev
    @dkitsov

    I am tired to repeat - use StreamAnalizer for each try. Bitrate number is not usefull at this time.
    It looks like only 1-2s starting interval is mostly affected by settings and later some reset occure.
  • dkitsovdkitsov
    Too early to say but it seems that no matter what settings I change I am not able to get more than 24mbps in a video stream...
  • SageSage
    Looks like someone did... (alicangrgc)
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev
    I suggest to remember about AGC settings also.
    And someone must risk and try ExTele patch :-).
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev
    @dkitsov

    Again, second post - StreamAnalizer.
