I'm relatively new on the boards. Just wondering where can I find your 65mbit settings? Been trolling google for awhile and came up with a bunch of different stuff but not the file.

Question to everyone - what is currently the best recommended film mode for shooting/latitude/color correction?

Thanks to everyone for all their hard work on testing these hacks. I happily donated my share to Vitaliy the other day.

@Stray
You are welcome!
Also as for me, it is glad that you are pleased with my setting.

Since the cadence problem will occur inevitably if AQ is set in 66M LowGOP, I looked for the good setting without caring about AQ, as you guessed.
In addition, various magnifications of Top and Bottom setting were also changed. Since I did not understand the theory well, I was able to change the value little by little and was able to combine well in search of the value of just right arrangement.

Although I tried considerably, some problem may be found afterwards.
If there is it, since you are more detailed than I, please correct.
And please find and share a more wonderful setting.
Of course, I also test further.

EDIT:
Since the cadence problem occurred when swaying the blanket gradually during the test now, I am correcting a setup instantly...

Right, I don't shoot at 80% so no problem for me. But I will change setting file to QV22 if I need to. Thanks for the info.

@5thwall At the moment I'm currently using the 66M GOP6 @bkmcwd just shared on here, mostly just testing it, it fits a very specific need for me really well. However I will probably continue to use the cbrandin 66M GOP12 AQ2 for most of my general needs, and I'll be using this new GOP6 for when I want that particular motion look (and probably mostly for outdoor shoots, or for very well lit shots in general). So, to answer your question simply I'd say the cbrandin 66M GOP12 AQ2. Its rock solid, and incredible looking footage that stands up really strongly in post.

I don't ever take shots longer than 5-6 minutes, so spanning isn't a concern for me. If I did ever need to take really long shots (unlikely) then I'd drop down to the cbrandin 44M GOP12 AQ4 and use it's 24L 32M setting which has always spanned when I've tested it. But who can say what the next ptool version will bring, maybe we'll be able to get a GOP6 or a GOP3 at the lower bitrates that can keep the image quality right up there with the cbrandin GOP12 settings accross all light/scene conditions. If that happens I may change my decisions again. I don't personally like the way GOP3 looks. I do like GOP6, for specific subjects its beautiful to my eyes (specifically when shooting physical artistic performances, dancers etc.) For everything else I'm more than happy with the GOP12. YMMV

@driftwood Thanks for the confirmation, I figured that would be the case.

Here is a sample video with Driftwoods 150mbps hack. See the strobing! This is 24p in PAL-land, Australia at 1/50th shutter.
Is there a way to minimize this ? I see this to a smaller degree on other shots as well - interestingly its a lot less using the EX-Tele feature.
I know there are multiple threads on this - but Mr Eoshd had footage 24p at 1/50th on vimeo without this strobing.
Just wondering what I am missing.

"your video is 2 seconds long."

LOL, if that.

It's too short to observe anything.

Nice work DancingCamera!

I'll need to spend some time analyzing all you've offered here.
One thing for sure the 14-140mm lens 132Mb/s example and graph really shows how well Driftwood's 132Mb utilizes data bandwidth.

@zcream Use a tripod.

@DancingCamera
Thank you for the wonderful work! And I appreciate having nominated my setting.
I verify thoroughly later.

BTW, although I stuck 66Mbps,3GOP compromise setting before, QV was set to 24 in order to use 24L mode.
I also think that QV can be set to 22 supposing someone uses only 24H mode.

EDIT:
Screen shot: 1st is 24H, 2nd is 24L, 3rd is 24H80%

EDIT:
Sorry! 1st setting is wrong. 2nd one is correct!

Insane Extremity time: 220M GOP 1 AQ2 1080p24H. Try this out to just to see the detail! Don't shoot at Pappas Death Chart it will eventually die. Even Elecard Streameye can't cope with this. Will shoot at upto 125 shutter and probably beyond... The Elecard buffer analysis test looks great and its very very good quality if you like the effect of GOP 1 on the GH2. :-)

Why did I try it? Because we can thanks to Vitaliy.

Update: The picture and chart (Chris's Streamparser can parse these mts files - Elecard Streameye has trouble) are taken from a dark room with a single 800W Redhead light thrust my way whilst I'm spinning on a chair. Note: the mesh lines reflected on the white wall area is from the redhead cover). Panny 7-14 Wide angle lens 125 shutter.

Damn driftwood I-frame city! Man, did the camera get warm..lol

1. download original file
2. watch on HD monitor
3. change your undies :-)
