Yes I need the HBR (1080P) for French TV. Mandatory.

I do not know what patch will give me the best 25P in image quality.

Orion V4, Sedna ... ?

Thanks

well i just want to say i had no problems with sedna aq1A 720-50 home testing, recorded fine no write errors! very nice settings work great for pal country's, was wondering if i could change to gop 1 but haven't try it yet. and detail is so great that i believe could be upscaled to 1080 with no problems!

once again thanks driftwood, if you ever come to argentina you got a place to stay and eat!

btw sedna is referring to a star beyond Uranus possibly the solar system 10th planet hah!

And why this fucking 24P is ALWAYS better than the 25P I need!??? :))))

SHIT GIVE ME ONE 25P VERY VERY GOOD!

THANKS ALL

@From_Paris I afraid nobody would réponse mais parlez vous like that ;=) Just choose on setting and try out of yourself, whatever patch ( sedna, orion, mystery ) work with your sd card, then call it très bien

@From_Paris , I think that "Panny" hacked it's own firmware to provide us HBR mode :-) they did not count on 25p.

Hello all! @ From_Paris. You need more diplomacy i think. I'm a PAL user too... I know your problems

Unfortunaly, 24P mode is better since conception of the GH2, because of native sensor output.

I think the good question for Nick Driftwood is: "Do you think is it possible to make a patch like Orion, Sedna or Mysteron ONLY for PAL HBR25p that match 24P mode, or if GH2 can't do that?"

Now, you can try Bkmcwd's Patch like GolGOP or GOPzilla. It look well in PAL mode ( a new silent user!!!)

Thanks VK, ND, Bkmcwd and others actif for this great work they do for community, don't forget that...

@From_Paris "I will make my film in 24P and I will transfer in 25P in post-production." Yes, this is probably the best solution -- but there are various ways you can do that -- so research well and choose properly.

@herbycamer The issue of a better patch for 25p misses the point of the mechanical flaws with the GH2's 25p. 24p is native, true progressive. 25p is un-flagged progressive frames laid on a 50i stream -- and that's truly consumer junk on a range of levels. No matter how good the patch is -- the recording method is crap.

If I lived in a PAL country -- I'd film in 24p and use the appropriate method to convert the footage to 25p -- and there are a range of different and effective ways to do that.

@onionbrain, yes, I also need the HBR for small corporate videos that I have to put on DVD. It is possible to switch ORION 24P to 25P with menus? Thank you ... Sorry for my stupids questions.

@herbycamer, I think I give up the HBR for TV projects. 24P to 25P. I voted!

Really liking Sedna Q20 B. Took a quick screenshot, Lumix 20mm, graded in mb looks.

sorry, I don't understand burst mode. The pics look all punched up with color noise. What's the value of that?

@From_Paris @onionbrain @herbycamer one problem when converting 24p to 25p is it will speed up the sound and footage and for a music video it will change the music about a semi tone unless you pitched it down later. Some people will say it doesn't make a big difference but to me it does. And when shooting with more than one camera if others shoot in 25p and you in 24p to convert in 25p in post you will get synchronization problems. I already did that before but now i really think that converting 24p to 25p is not a good option for pal users. I am also a lil frustrated about this and another thing i hate about 25p is that you have to go through clipwrap or 5dtorgb before editing. I like to edit mts file directly in premiere pro it's much more faster.

One thing i wonder though is when they broadcast 24p in ntsc countries do they convert to 30p before sending to tv?

@Swiss_Boy broadcast 24p in ntsc countries do they convert to 30p before sending to tv

it's called 3:2 pull down http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3:2_pulldown#23pulldown
