In light of the recent comments specially the one made by @driftwood, I wanted to point out a few things. 1. If the last few months have proven anything is the fact that technology is becoming complex and as new versions of the hardware and software gets introduced, it gets even more complex. 2. To achieve great results in short period of time, we all need to work as a team. Dozens of people have been contributing in these forums to make GH2 a better product. This team has its generals and subject matter experts like Vitalie, driftwood, lpowell, cbrandon and others. Then there are general users like me who try to contribute in testing and donations. It has been proven that multiple minds put together can produce better results than a single one. @driftwood Nick, there is no question that you have made tremendous breakthroughs with your intra GOP1 24p patches. Currently, it is the defacto standard for high quality 24p recording and I am a user of it. However, the results with 1080i and 720p along with cheaper SD cards and spanning have been less than desirable. There is a lot more work to be done to improve those areas. Lpowell, Sage, Balazer and others have been trying to help out and pick up the slack by doing research to complement your efforts in improving those areas. I think you should welcome their help and encourage them to ontinue their efforts. You have other things to do and you can't dedicate your life to GH2. You may be surprised that the research and theories that are provided by the others may trigger something in your mind that could make a big difference in your patches. 3. Finally, others may introduce their own patches based on their research and testing and post multiple pages to describe them. But at the end of the day "The proof is in the pudding". All of the introduced patches get to be tested by people in this forum who happen to know what they are doing and they are no dummies. So if a patch produces good results, it gets the praise it deserves, otherwise it receives the honest constructive criticism that it deserves. Let's share the spotlight and encourage and help each to achieve better results. After all, actions speak better than words. @driftwood, I hope you will avoid using negative comments and calling names in the future and work as part of the team. I would hate to see the good image you have created to be tarnished with these unnecessary negative comments. Cheers, mate.

GOP1 forever. Memory card prices are falling. I think Nick understands. Everyone else...not so sure if they see the future.

RJH your Bladerunner tribute was fun. Cheers!

+1, a big "Thank You, Nick!"

Why do you think I posted the Quantum patched GH2 next to the Scarlet? If you want to get more quality out of the GH2, go that route!

If you want to skimp on cards, go the Panny route. The consortium crippled AVCHD to such low bitrates not (only?) because they want to protect their more expensive products. They also did it so it works with any shitty card out there and the average buyer won't cry for mummy.

+10, a big "Thank You, Nick!"

@artiswar Video looks great. Is that like Quantum 100? Where can I try download this settings? Thanks, Alex

@Alex thx for the tip about the i frame only patch. i am searching for a patch for some slow-motion adventure.

thx, i did a quik test in 1080 50i, converted to 50p and slowed down to 2% in twixtor,
and it looks oke, considering i did not set all to optimal,
iso3200, shutter 1/320, and F4

i just installed "AQ2 for Slow Motion Work in EX TELE mode"
For what i understand its just what i need today
Its a sunny day, and the cross track is open, i go shoot some shots there in 720 and 1080i, with the tele mode working i can keep a save distance from the motor bikes ;-)

Uhm.. looks like some late night posting has been going on? Hope you guys don´t start to fight. It would be a pitty. @driftwood Your patches made me buy the cam, one private, one for work. I believe nobody doubts that if you want the best possible quality, driftwood GOP1 is the way to go.

@driftwood "Listen up motherfuckers ..." Respect for you .

@Alexauwa - That was on 9b.

@driftwood fo' life. Fuck the haters.

"I believe nobody doubts that if you want the best possible quality, driftwood GOP1 is the way to go."

+1 Thanks Nick

@driftwood - Not sure what's going on man but hope you carry on. Ultimate respect to you for your patches, using Quantum now and quality is unbelievable. I'm sure X will be the patch to end all patches.
