    Hu Guy,
    Really interesting.
    Digging about the patch I’ve found this that, if was true, would be great:

    Unfortunately the HDMI Out from the GH-2 is messed up, so it’s not usable for recording.

    The best you can do is to shoot with the 176 Mbit hack, which will produce footage only containing I frames.

    INTRA GOP1 176M Hack = Superb

    Hi Guy,
    I’m about to buy a GH2 in BPPhoto but I’m confused.
    Does the GH2 that sells in the USA records at 25/50 too, or only at NTSC time bases?
    Please help me.
    I don’t won’t to make a mess.

    As far as I know the GH-2 cameras sold in America only support NTSC time bases.

    There is a new firmware coming from Panasonic that is supposed to enable 1080 HD 25p embedded in a 50i stream, but I don’t know if this only for Europe or for everybody. I also wonder how this new firmware will effect the GH-2 Hack. ( hopefully it won’t make any difference )

    Hi Guy,
    Thanks for your help.
    Last night I contacted BHPhoto and they told me the same than you.
    Here prices are crazy. Just the body costs USD 1.200.
    1.559 with the 14-140 in Amazon UK.
    I’ll try to buy it in Hong Kong but no idea if they will get me the Japan (NTSC) or the European model.
    Thanks again,
    rafael
