@Vitaliy:

Many thanks for your great work!

Can you roughly estimate when PTool 3.61d is finished?

Great news!
Be still my beating heart...

@sparedog:
what i dont get: getty Images wont accept 1080p 4:2:0, but are satisfied with 720p 4:2:2 ?

@fatpig - because alot of clients still dont need hd. think about internet, alot of television channels, and corporate videos. alot of corporate videos are made for presentations, trade shows, internal communication, so they dont need 1080, they can be 480 or even as low as 240 if its web based and still get the corporate message across.
advertising commercials are immediate, they dont need to be future proofed like a documentary or televison program would be, as they have a very limited lifespan. so if the commercial is intended for sd television, there is no reason to pay extra for hd version of the footage when 480 will do.
720 is actually considered pretty damn good in the broadcast world, only a few tv programs are made in 1080. think of alot of the stuff being made in africa, russia, middle east, india, it's still being made in sd

@adventsam - i admit, my needs are niche. in underwater video the colors are often very screwed up, so need a huge amount of pushing. the transcoding doesn't seem to help this, i cant claim to know the reason why. really my best results would be from RAW, but for 400 dollars i can get 720 4:2:2 100mbit from a tiny footprint.

@fatpig - everything is pretty much transcoded nowadays to match the project's frame rate, so it's pretty much not an issue. in broadcast docs if you have great footage in pal, and you are delivering for nat geo or discovery, i think up to 20 percent (it really depends on the channel, and sometimes the commissioning editor) can be non native format. we deliver to history channel's hd in 24p, but alot of the archive used originated in 29.97/59.94 or 25/50

bear in mind that i am talking about stock/archive and not main shot footage, which would be shot in the delivery format. so in coporate, if you need a sequence of coral reefs to say that your company is/is not destroying them, it is only a tiny percentage of your edit.

Stay on topic guys c'mon! Make a 4.2.2 delivery etc thread

Great news about simple patches section VK....dumbasses like me will benefit this haha

i don't see anyone commenting on KrisCanonizado video. is it not the first time we get a high 1080 p avchd successful hack.

"Main target now is improved usability for casual users, so all they'll need to do is use one simple patch for each thing.......Early next week, I think."

Great news Vitaliy! I´m new to all this hack stuff but I´ve heard that a guy called LPowell made the best patches for the gh1(3). Is he around here somewhere?

Is it possible to get a 2:35 anamorphic safety frame / guide? Kind of like the safe areas you get with video cameras?

Unfortunately, there is no detail in the girls dark hair. In the highly detailed shots lots of contrast and detail. I'm guessing the bitrate drops and the hair looks almost like a solid one tone object.

YouTube, no matter how nice the image looks, never tells the full story. I can not judge it fully by watching it on YouTube. On an average it looks decent when watching it on that site.. But it will be nothing like the real thing.
