@driftwood don't burn yourself man get some rest, the 176mb/s GOP1 v3 still is king IMO. To everybody reading this let's go out and do some real shooting with those settings cause they have already surpassed our expectations goodnight.
@Driftwood, ok thx i see it and is really impressive but what i mean is panning left and right on front of a vertical line like wall or something like this.
STOP PRESS!: Quick change for anyone trying 720p - Ive found analysing on Elecard Streameye you get better QP / Macroblocking results the higher you push 'Encoder Setting 4 720' (probs the same for the other modes on setting 4 too) @Vitaliy_Kiselev probably already knows this ? Night!
Tip: On my latest GOPStoppa patch try changing 'Encoder Setting 4 720' to = 14 or higher The above as an example gives much better results than the default. Do it.
@PerryWilson not yet - havent played with some new ideas but will do this week. Just wanted to get a base lowest GOP complete patch and work from there - hence GOPStoppa.
@Driftwood, Nick testing your last GOP1 720p50 and for now no crash with Sandisk 45MB/s. card but i don't like the motion in panning situation, is not so fluId on camera playback, tomorrow i want to test on mac.
I cant try it either because it chooses to do it whenever it wants... so IDK i guess it doesnt like low light... and thats all I every get to test after a work day
@bkmcwd Yep, its solid at AQ1 definitely. But in lowlight AQ1 is falling off a bit too much for me considering its high bitrate, maybe run it at AQ1 and for those lowlight scenes use it at AQ2. We need an AQ1.5 ;) Maybe @driftwood knows what the QP would be for that roughly then we could manually set it instead of using the AQ settings.
What I'd like to see is any setting, any at all that records a stream for a good length (about 1-2 minutes) that averages around or above 170Mbps just to make sure that its a card speed issue and not the camera. I'm pretty sure that if the camera can do it then someone here will have a shot thats done it, if it can be done. A static shot won't really prove it though, there has to be motion in the shot.
@bardamu Getting 60 i frames or 50 i frames with GOP1 stable is diffficult already! Much harder than 1080p24. Vitaliy has a setting that switches 50 frames to 25 and 60 to 30 which you can check/try out with the 50/60 patches - see AVCHD FPS in patches for end users and give it a go with the current setttings.
@driftwood Ok, i thought my sandisk card was the top and it isn't, so i will buy a 45mbit, thanx. Only an answer: Is it possible with the hack to have a 720p25 frames for pal users? Don't you think this kind you could get extraordinary mbit and GOP1 together? Maybe you've already thought this and maybe it can't work, but i live in Pal land and I still hope ;)
@Stray Although I can still be testing only with your test chart, since the results of some tests with that patch are different each time, I think that writing speed is really close shave. I hope to test outdoor tomorrow.
"a write speed of only 15-20mbps on the GH2" I feel that I also read by somewhere...But, I'm not sure this is true.
If there is a faster card, I would like to know a result very much, although I also think somehow that it is a thing with the slow camera side.
Although it may be meaningless, I place the patch once set to AQ1. This is not special but stable, I think...
