Tester13 just released the new PTool 3.35. Now you can adjust the AVCHD bitrate using provided preset to 32Mbit on your Panasonic GH1

The orginial note from Tester13:
“Tested settings:
a) Gives you 22Mbit bitrate with some spikes up to 24Mbit.
b) Gives you 32Mbit bitrate with some spikes up to 34Mbit.
For 720p60 actual bitrate can be slightly lower (I get 27Mbit at b) ).
Top bitrate and best settings will be found by testers later.
Possibility is it can be as high as MJPEG top bitrate for FullHD mode.
Q: Such high bitrate clips are playable on camera?
A: Yes, no problems during my limited testing. All plays fine.”

So does this mean 1080/24p native at 32Mbit/s and playback in camera, or only applies to the original 60i container mode?
does this remove the mud and banding problem? also does it work for PAL?
Tom: In camera playback is only available in original 60i container.
I would watch out. such high bitrate might be overloading processor and heating up the camera exceedingly
how i wish he hacks the LX3 and put in some new functions….
Overheating is not an issue… this is addressed by tester13 in the dvxuser thread. Higher bitrate=less compression so if anything the processor usage should be less. Tester13 says it should be about the same and that the only component that will be working harder is the SDHC card. Even at 32Mbps, it’s only 4MB/sec, which means any class 4 SDHC card can handle it
Sorry guys, but I’m lost! I have a GF1 but I’m not really sure I understand what you guys are talking about. Does this ‘hack’ mean that you can reconfigure the GF1 to record HD video at 1080p – or something else? I went to the link and didn’t understand it at all?
Yes Mat!
I also love the all around new Panasonic G2. And now my question is : could it be possible that the hack of Tester13 will also work on the G2 ?
Yes it is possible.
