According to EosHD a new Panasonic GH1 hack allowed to increase the bit rate to 24Mbps!
The Hacker is called “tester13” and you he is active on dvxuser.com
He even doesn’t own the Panasonic GH1. So may you help him to buy one by donating via paypal (click here -> the money goes directly to him not to 43rumors!)
Do you have an idea on how to make pressure on Olympus and Panasonic to create cross-compiler environments?

Holy Moly! tester13, if you are reading this, please bring this to the GF1 !!!!
@admin:
That was some noble linking.
BTW, one of his first successful hacks on the GH1 was the PAL 29m59s limit. That was gone for good! 🙂
Not yet! No 24Mbps yet!
Only 30 min limit on EU models.
And maybe (not 100% tested) a hack for 30fps -> 24fps MJPEG
All other hacks are still under development.
would be perfect if someone could turn of AGC! and zebra + audio levels would solve
all of our problems:)
Great job tester13!
Please also consider the GH1/GF1 exposure bracket limitation issue as well. It would be nice if we can choose broader EV spacing like 3 shots w/ 2 EV spacing instead of the current 2/3 EV max. spacing. I’m sure HDR folks will be loving it a lot.
