I've had the Flomotion2 patch on my GH2s for years and never had a problem recording 2+ hour concerts and events in 24L (as per LPowell's suggestion not to use the higher 100mb modes for long recording reliability).

A friend of mine is trying to use them now to match his 30p setup. Problem is, as I understand it, the GH2 only supports 30p at full resolution and sound in HBR. He tried that, and the camera chokes every time in the middle of recording. I told him to use the fastest cards he can get, and it still chokes eventually. I guess LPowell was right, his 100mbps modes aren't good for long recordings that require spanning.

So my friend is asking what to do, but I've only captured in 24p so I'm at a loss for suggestions at this point, other than just telling him to return to stock. I think he likes the idea of the hacked GH2 being a legendary performer, and would just rather not return to stock if there is a better option. Are there any reliable hacks that can handle spanning and be stable for long recording times in HBR? Or is there another full HD 30p mode that I'm not aware of, that uses a lower bitrate with Flomotion? I know the GH2 is practically ancient history at this point, but I'm sure someone else has had to deal with this before?
