Ben Corwin Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Is there any hack that offers AVCHD Intra 1080p30 with a higher bit rate than the 24Mbps the new v1.1 firmware gives us? A simple yes or no will suffice. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 4, 2012 Administrators Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yes, try the EOSHD Unified hack or enter your own bitrate for 1080/30p in PTools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Corwin Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks Andrew! Just bought the GH2 Shooter's Guide as well! Thanks for all your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Corwin Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hmmmm... it looks like shooting in HBR mode (30p) with the EOSHD UNIFIED hack is too much for my sd card, which is really confusing me. I bought the fastest possible SD card which is the SanDisk 64GB Extreme Pro SDXC Card 95MB/s and it still can't keep up? How are people shooting 176 Mbps videos?

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 11, 2012 Administrators Share Posted April 11, 2012 Try formatting the card (low level format) and try again with the 24p mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Corwin Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 24p works fine. It's the 30p I'm after. Zero Out format underway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Corwin Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Looks like it still isn't working on the HBR mode even with the zeroed out pass. Would the Vanilla Patch resolve the issue you think? However, using the Variable Movie Mode at 80% shooting at 24p works just fine. Is this the best way to achieve 30p? Thanks!

Ben Corwin Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Okay now I am REALLY confused. I went ahead and installed the Vanilla patch and it is still giving me trouble. I shot some footage indoors on the HBR setting and it seemed to be working fine until I went outside. I knew the true test would be shooting something with high detail so I shot some leaves on a tree blowing in the wind. Immediately, the camera gave me the message, "MOTION RECORDING WAS CANCELLED DUE TO THE LIMITATION OF THE WRITING SPEED OF THE CARD." Again, I bought the fastest card possible which is the SanDisk 64GB Extreme Pro SDXC Card 95MB/s. Can anyone shed some light on what is happening? Thanks! P.S. Sorry to be asking all these questions with NAB being right around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cray- Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Could be a fake card, or just a dud. Any chance you can swap it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Corwin Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 No I wouldn't think so. I got the card straight from bhphoto. On top of that, I've been reading on personal-view.com that they are having a heap of trouble getting the NTSC HBR mode (30p) working with a higher bit rate hack. So far, the "Sanity" hack is the only one that seems to be working in HBR mode, but it's interlaced? It's all just frustrating to me, because was under the impression I could shoot 30p with either the Unified or Vanilla patch (as it is seemingly advertises). The 24p looks glorious, but I need 30p for the work I am doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Corwin Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Still though, I will try another card just to make sure. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cray- Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Yeah no worries, just thought it was worse asking. Sometimes people overlook the simple stuff but it sounds like your on to it. I too had a bit of trouble with the Vanilla hack, I've been having more luck with [url=http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/2123/gh2-cake-v2.1-reliability-and-spanning-in-720p-hbr-24p-and-vmm-at-2-2.5x-stock-bit-rates/p1]Cake[/url] 2.1 and 2.2 by balazer, but I'm sticking with 24fps. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
