In short, the GH1 hack allows you to shoot video at a higher quality than
Panasonic originally intended. Panasonic quietly blocked that ability in
later iterations of the camera (I suspect b/c they didn't want a "consumer"
level body competing with their higher priced pro video cameras, which it
was and is doing).

I'm more of a stills guy, so this isn't really something I'm interested in
trying. Plus, I prefer Oly jpegs to Panny's jpegs.
