@driftwood Quantum 100 is a great "all rounder", impressive quality out of the GH2 with decent recording times, thanks! But how about Quantum 50? I love the idea to switch between those two patches for casual shooting and documentary.

Thanks a lot Driftwood.

@ Silent 1M Max Frame Size Lovers :-)

30p (24p80%) can be used now with GOLGOP3-13. Although improvements were slightly in 24H, I improved so that 80% could be used with 24L. Except 1080/24p, it is completely the same as an earlier version, and they are the contents of Chris's 66M. Of course, you can combine with a favorite patch except 24p.

This is the patch which realizes high definition by utilizing BIG FRAME SIZE and maintaining qp low on the average on the whole screen, without using extremely low qp.

This is the sample of 30p(24L mode). *The weather is bad and not much good sample. ;-) *Since this is raw data, it is still in 24p80% but not 30p. *Of course, no sound.

Forgot to post a link of the Quantum 9 clip mentioned just above. Here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CC815XzBZ3g

@driftwood on the q50v1 is it me or 720p60 is freaking awesome? 24h is good but 720 looks extremely clean. Will test some more tomorrow.

Just a heads up about QV9b

1. 1080/60i Does not span on 64Gb 95mb/s Cards. Hits the 4GB limit @ 8Minutes(ish) and kills.
2. 720/60 SH Does not span on 64GB 95mb/s Cards. Hits 4GB limit @ 8minutes(ish) and kills.
3. 1080/60i + ETC mode is breakable on 64GB 95mb/s Cards. Did fine pattern torture test and can kill it in 5 seconds. Will test out of ETC mode during daylight with foliage etc.
4. 720/60 SH + ETC mode is breakable on 64GB 95mb/s Cards. Did fine pattern torture test and can kill it in 15 seconds. Will test out of ETC mode during daylight with foliage.
5. Playback works with AVCHD 24 on 64GB 95mb/s Cards, but once you start mixing formats on one card or playing back different file types it does not recognize any other format for playback.

Glitch: Some files appear to be missing in the line up during playback, present when you get to your computer. Heads up.

AVCHD - 24 is pretty much rock solid. Can't break it in ETC mode torture test or out of it, Spanned 24 Minutes then I stopped it, plenty for me.

Would love a 1080/60i and 720/60 SH Patch that spans, but realizing that rolling huge takes like that is something I wouldn't even do with Epic/RED regardless of the interview setting or not. May just get over it. Less time to convert in 5DtoRGB for each clip, less room for conversion errors, etc.

Seems like the edge of what the camera can do, if not exact.

Definitely prime time ready.

Hi! I have only problem alone with driftwoods patches in ntsc mode?:( I checked Aqua motion v2, Quantum v3, v7, v9b, Q100, Q50v1 - problem is the same always. It work for me only in pal version. I formatted the update sd in ntsc and in pal mode to (for the record to), but nothing helped.:(

Any opinion? I have only this 32gb Sandisk 30mb/sec sd card. Change card, video mode (it would be easiest i know, but i like the 30fps, 25 is a little "pieces") or user?:)

Thanks! Q

Thanks @driftwood - I'm going into production on a feature this morning. Using two GH2's with Quantum 9b. Your efforts are extremely appreciated!

@humpman I honestly dont remember. 95% sure it was 160 or 320. Thankfully noise patterns on GH2 are actually quite nice in comparison to ugly Canon noise. I do always make sure I go down in ISO (like I would move from 640 to 320 instead of up from 160) because I remember reading that can cause an unwanted noise in the hack.

@driftwood, thanks! would you say that quantum50 is better than spanmybitchup in terms of quality? btw, just used spanmybitchup on a shoot and it was great. only issue was that i had to turn on and off the camera to view footage most of the time. haven't tried turning off iso 12,800 in the patch yet to see if there's a difference.

Quantum50 v1 baby
