@jrd that's weird 'cause they actually support Cineform in MOV wrapper, not in AVI. At least it do in Windows, maybe it's different if you use the Mac version.

@peternap From mi very short test (I loaded Mysteron try it 5 min the same day that was released and then turn back to Sedna because I had a shoot the next day). The bitrate was very low and the image was not so sharp like Sedna A, but how I say have to make more accurate tests..

@LumixUser lens?

@MikhailK I encountered that problem recently too, but on my Transcend 64GB SDXC. I did not try to solve it, I just switched cards. Anyone have any ideas?

@MikhailK I have also had the cannot record file number exceed limit error. Everything that was already recorded worked fine though and there was quite a bit more space on card. Also, I know for fact that I have recorded many more spanned files before. For me it has been occurring with sedna aq1. I never had this happen before with Orion. I also noticed that it seems to happen when you stop a long recording with spanned files then try to start a new recording. I have never had the camera just stop recording on me. all on 64g 95mb/s.

We are forgetting Driftwood's announcement about Canis Majoris. Nick what's about this setting? Are you left its developement? tell us anything, please!!

@MikhailK

Yes -- you've run straight into the only glitch I've encountered with the 64 gig, 95 MBps Sandisk card.

This is NOT a patch issue -- it's an issue of this camera with this card.

No files are damaged, and there is only one known not-too-annoying fix.

This error happens after you've recorded a spanned ("long") recording and then turn off your camera. When you turn it back on and hit record -- you get that error.

The fix -- is to record a not-spanned clip before you turn off the camera.

So, for example, if I recorded a 20 minute interview, before turning the camera off I'd record a few seconds of something/anything.

If you forget this trick -- your only options are either A) use another card, or B) offload your data from the card and then format the card.

I've avoided this little glitch by having four of these cards -- if I forget -- I just put in another. But, if other cards aren't an option for whatever reason -- the trick above will stop this glitch.

Again, there's no data loss and this issue isn't specific to any settings ("patch"). It's just a pain in the ass -- and, luckily, the ONLY pain in the ass I've encountered with these cards.

@onionbrain,

Thanks for your advice. I'll check it out. Strange... In case your advice works I'll have one question - am I the only one (after @onionbrain) who has found out this "fix precedure" only now?

So, here a real comparison between Sedna A and Mysteron.

All two shot at ISO 400 with canon FD 17 at f 5.6. I have heavy saturated the images. I see much more macro blocking on Mysteron!

Sedna=68.000 Kbts/s

Mysteron=18000 Kbts/s!

@Kihlian Sedna 50p and 25p is best and always has been. 60p and 60i / HBR is always the problem setting. Mysteron brings back high quality when the detail is there for the 60 modes but not so stressed on less quality. Not as much stress on 50 modes at all, but because of shared settings with 60 its had to take a hit. Nevertheless its not so bad for long recordings. :-)

The thing about Mysteron is; if detail is there, the i, p and B frames will begin to climb and more of the bitrate will be eaten out of the available sandwich. So its a fairly comfortable patch which should work on ALL settings. The 24p is summit else though... running Sedna very close and probably better on the noise levels with the analysed deblocking of i frames.

@MikhailK the workaround 'record small video after long one/or span on 65Gb card' has been known for months and is everywhere on personal-view.

@onionbrain,

Your advice works but now I've discovered a new glitch with the 64 gig 95 MBps Sandisk card. Al teast with my current Mysteron patch.

1. When this card is empty you can record 29m 59sec. But...even if your first record lasts only a few seconds and you stop recording then... then your next record starts right from the beginning!

So, you won't know how much space is left! Gh2 will tell you that you still have the same 29m 59sec left.

This glitch is discovered in 24H and 24L. All the same. Strange that 24L tells you that you have 29m 59sec left...

@onionbrain, @driftwood, I'm afraid that this thing has something to do with pToools 3.5d or the new patches (at least Mysteron).

@MikhailK

This is the new feature with 3.65d. I turned it off when I messed with "mysteron" and had no problems.

Go down to the red skull options (for testers, or whatever), and I believe it's the option at the very bottom.

I'm not certain I understand the logic of this new feature -- but -- these guys are the pros and they know what they're doing.

@No_SuRReNDeR

It looks like you filmed that with Nostalgic, and your issue is with the blue "chroma" noise. Blue noise on nostalgic is a problem -- it handles blue worse than any other profile.

None of this relates to Sedna. Sedna neither fixes nor enhances the blue "chroma" noise issue.

Your options are to try Normal (or Vibrant, that slightly blurs the chroma channels, thus reducing the appearance of noise), or to use Neat Video on that clip -- and Neat Video should do an excellent job with that clip.
