The firmware is still there for me

It sure looks like download servers maintenance. But that would be bummer for Vitaliy if they are going to change something in the 1.1 update..

EDIT: Well.. it's weird that the only download that does not work is the 1.1 update for GH2..

VK

is possible that with latest gh2 v1.1 up date from pany there could have been law copirght infringments
so they withdrawn it to avoid problems etc I dont personaly think we will see any more updates from pany
....how is the crackink v1.1 going on?

Regards

From the start of V1.1 it looked very strange to me naming the new video mode HBR! what happened to
25p and 30p or woud that infringe some european law classing the camera as a video camera with the
appropriate taxes, how ever I hope you are right...

ps, It could be infringment with other companys algorithms in the software other wise why not do it from
launch, I think V1.1 was the back door way.....

I must say, naming it "HBR mode" was really weird and odd to me too, you are right at that. But let's wait little bit more.. I bet Vitaliy don't need this sort of speculative discussion here. :) I hope Panny will say what's going on or just put the update back there soon.

I got to the "download" page and when I pressed "download", this is the message I got.

I had a live chat with Panasonic support about firmware 1.1. Bottom line; something is going on. They disconnected the chat without an answer. Here is the copy of the chat.
Zaven: Digital Still Camera
Panasonic: Connection established.
Panasonic: Initiating Chat, Please Wait.
Panasonic: Thank you for contacting Panasonic. An agent will answer your request shortly. Please have your product information, model and serial number available so the Panasonic representative can expedite your request.

Panasonic: Welcome to Panasonic Chat. A transcript of this chat will be emailed to you once you disconnect.
Adriano G.: Thank you for contacting Panasonic Chat.How may I help you today?
Zaven: It seems that the latest firmware 1.1 for Lumix GH2 can not be accessed through the Panasonic link and it has been removed. Is that intentional?
Zaven: when you click download here is what you get

Adriano G.: ok no problem, could you send me that link please
Zaven: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/fts/index2.html
Zaven: check line #8 DMC-GH2
Adriano G.: ok, right now I am not seeing a firmware for this camera
Zaven: It is right in front of me and I can see DMC-GH2 ver 1.1 2011/12/7
Zaven: In the section that says camera body
Adriano G.: send me that link where your seeing that
Zaven: If you can't see it in this site, then tell me where would I get the latest firmware 1.1 update? may be Panasonic moved the location.
Zaven: I just sent you the link earlier
Zaven: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/fts/index2.html
Adriano G.: I will have my supervisors investigate this link
Zaven: ok. Should I wait?
Zaven: just to let you know. There is a large forum of GH2 users that are asking the same question on New Year's day. This is important and is holding us back from doing production work
Adriano G.: I understand let me apologize
Panasonic: chat Disconnected.

My apologies VK. I will refrain from adding this sort of detail in the future. I agree with you that the agent's knowledge is limited. The point I was trying to make is that She went to her supervisor for an answer and she was told to apologize and disconnect the chat without any answer or recommendation. That is the strange part.

Here's hoping there's no change to the firmware. Very hopeful about hi-bit rate 25p patches..

@bonk

Thanks :-)
It looks like result of too much sake taken by one of their guys :-)

Another example of the new HBR Mode of firmware V1.1. I'm looking forward to the new hack! Thank you for all the ingenious work. :-)))

One thing I have noticed with the new firmware is that my audio is not synced ONLY in the HDMI output. The file on the card is OK. Anyone else get this? Or is it my TV...

@veloci Thanks for the conformation. That's a pretty serious bug. Anyone else have it?
