Beginners: Basic hacks questions
@JDN Thank you. I'm still pondering on whether I should go with 1080/24p or 720/50p but I'll give that patch a try.

I should have added that bit of info at the very least. I'm using the GH2. ;)

Beginners: Basic hacks questions
Patch question. I'm starting on a documentary this week and I'm looking for a patch that's a bit middle of the road because I don't want my 16GB cards to run out in the middle of an interview. Which patch do you guys recommend fo…

Good Deals: Canon FD 50mm f/1.2L
Tempting. Although I might just save up a little extra and wait for the 50mm Noktor Hyperprime which is supposed to be available this month? Looks like the price on the Noktor has been increased to 1000 USD. Ouch.

Settings for youtube videos
I agree with DrDave. I've uploaded video's to Youtube which later increased in quality so apparently Youtube did save a copy of the upload or just did a decent job at upscaling it. Even more important, Youtube gives the default low res v…

Zacuto EVF Pro viewfinder review
@ed_lee83 Haha. Yeah, I noticed that. Though I've done some searching whether SmallHD update their products like they claim on that page but there are some reports of their firmware upgrades indeed adding features to older products. I'm no…

Zacuto EVF Pro viewfinder review
@ed_lee83 Agreed, nice monitor. I've been tempted to get the CLM-V55 but it has a few issues and limitations. Supposedly unlike the competitors it doesn't scale properly, which makes it unpopular with 5d mkii users. Just 4:3 and 16:9 again…

Zacuto EVF Pro viewfinder review
I looked into Ruige but it appears to be missing the critical features that it's all about with a monitor/EVF, at least for me. I don't think it had 2.35 crop guide and false color or zebra, which are all important to me. I don't thin…

Zacuto EVF Pro viewfinder review
Agreed, @Vitaliy_Kiselev. I cannot wait for the day when Lilliput starts adding features like Peaking, Focus Assist and Frame Guides. I got to admit though, $549 for the SmallHD monitor without the viewfinder isn't too bad of a price tag (compa…

It looks like a nice EVF. I'm also interested in the SmallHD DP4-EVF.

Official Final Cut X topic, moving to ARM and vlogging
@stonebat I haven't tried FCPX yet but their previous transcoding method was no good. I couldn't get m2ts files to work with FCP without the original camera file structure and all those sorts of issues. Besides, rewrapping is so much faste…

Official Final Cut X topic, moving to ARM and vlogging
@harry7 Have you tried ClipWrap? I'm still waiting on my GH1 & GH2 so I'm completely clueless about the workflow but I have good experience with the application when I used Sony Vegas to capture HDV tapes, which it put into m2t contain…

Small and light one hand rig
Looks nice! When keeping things small, what do you guys recommend using to attach, let's say, a H4n? Without using the hot shoe, although a Hot Shoe Extension Bar might do the trick.

Quick release adapters and QR plates
Yes, I've seen people attach this to a bigger Manfrotto QR plate for video use on a tripod or shoulder rig. It looked pretty handy but then I'm still waiting on my camera so I can't give a verdict yet. ;)

Quick release adapters and QR plates
Thanks Vitaliy. I did find that thread but was still looking for a nice adapter to go with it. After doing some more research I think this one is pretty popular among GH1 & GH2 users: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ASU1QO. Can be mounted o…

GH1 Firmware Hack FAQ
@DrPhoton From what I've read it's a hardware limitation on the GH1 but HDMI output while recording does work on GH2, although somewhat crippled (but still better/cleaner than the competition, HDSLR wise): http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthr…

Simple and cheap multitrack video editor
@Mark_the_Harp I haven't tried Lightworks yet and don't know which codecs and containers are supported but have you tried demuxing them? Actually, I found this thread for you, perhaps it can help: http://www.lightworksbeta.com/index.php?…

GH2 Possible Improvements
I've been lurking this forum for a while and am about to purchase a GH2 but they are too damn expensive here, plus I do not like the 30 minute limit on the PAL version. Is there currently no way to change the language of a Chinese or Japanese v…
