All I want is to burn my edited (simple title, transition) AVCHD files to a regular DVD disc and keep the 1920x1080 resolution. I've been pulling my hair tying to figure this out. DVD Architect doesn't seem to support HD resolution, as it always wants to resample my video to DVD resolution. The closest thing I came to a solution is to click "make movie" >"Burn it to a DVD, Blu-ray disc, or CD. > "Blu-ray disc". I tried both video format, and the program was able to burn without errors. While I can play the DVD on my PC (stutter and all), my PS3 doesn't seem to see it as a "movie" disc, but instead a DATA disc. That said, it wont play the disc automatically. I can go through the folder, and into to the "Stream" folder. I can click the file there, and it will play, but that doesn't seem right. Oh, and there are only two choice for burn speed (1.0x, and 2.0x) instead of the actual 24.0x speed. Anyway, please advise. I was using pinnacle studio 12 prior to Vegas, and I believe Pinnacle can burn full HD content on a regular DVD without a problem. If only Pinnacle can handle AVCHD files without begging for mercy (even on my Quad system). I'm really liking Vegas, and will probably switch, but I'm getting frustrated about this particular issue. I'm pretty sure there's a away (short of getting the PRO version, which I really don't need), someone just need to point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

I apologise if these issues have been raised elsewhere (I couldn't find the specifics I'm looking for) or if they're dumb questions, but I'd really appreciate some advice. It seems the XHA1 records video to either mini-DV tapes or a DTE drive. Seeing as DTE drives seem to be extremely expensive (to me anyways), I'm looking more toward mini-DV and then transferring it for editing via firewire. However, I've read that doing this can wear the heads of the camera. Is this true? How quickly and how much damage does it do? Is it repairable? Are there any better solutions, like an external mini-DV player of some kind that could be used for firewire transfer instead? One last question: what do you think are the best type and brands of mini-DV tapes for recording HD? Is the cost difference between standard and HD tape really worth it? We're trying to make our independent feature as professional-looking as possible but on a pretty limited budget, so are investing in the most important quality mark areas (some purchase, some rental). I don't want to go to all the effort of getting good footage only for it to be ruined by crappy media. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

I am an aspiring wildlife filmmaker and so far have shot all of my footage in HD (on a Sony FX1 and Canon XHA1). I am happy with the quality of the footage I shot on these cameras, but for wildlife filming longer lenses would obviously be a benefit. Here is a link to my showreel if you would like to see some of my footage: <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/6371584">EXAMPLE FOOTAGE</a>. Since I just graduated from college and those cameras belonged to my school, I now find myself without a camera. I have done a lot of reading on choosing cameras in books and on forums, and I believe I have a pretty good handle on the costs and benefits of both HD and SD for wildlife, and in general. I know that interchangeable lenses are often considered a necessity for wildlife work, and as I have a knowledge of lenses and multi-lens setups I feel that I am ready to handle this type of setup. I know it adds a lot of cost, weight, etc, but again, for wildlife it seems like more of a necessity than perhaps in other film genres. Because of this I have been considering the Canon XL2. On the other hand, I know that the wildlife film industry, and all video in general, is quickly transitioning to HD. I love the quality and resolution I was able to obtain using the FX1 and XHA1, but I just didn't get the magnification I need to film many subjects. While I could get close enough to woodchucks (within 10ft) to get decent close-ups, I can't get this close to a fox, deer, bear, etc. I am working on a budget, and so I can't afford something like the Canon XLH1 at this point, and so any HD camera I purchase would not offer interchangeable lenses. At this point my main goal is NOT to produce lots of footage to sell to anyone, but to improve my reel with effective sequences of behavior so that I can show that I am able to shoot for sequence-editing and will subsequently be noticed by producers. Is a camera like the XL2 good enough for this purpose? Or do I absolutely NEED HD footage in order to compete in today's HD world, even in terms of my showreel? Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I hope this is posted in the right area. I'm looking for some feedback regarding a camcorder that I will use for indoor shooting of a music performance that will eventually be streamed online. I want to shoot HD at 60p and was looking for a camcorder that would record decent 720p HD since that's probably the end resolution that I will try to stream. I was originally looking at the Samsung HMX-H200 vs the Sony HDR-CX110. The Samsung records in typical mp4 (H.264) format whereas the Sony records in AVCHD. The Sony records in 1080i, but I didn't really want to deal with interlaced video, so I opted for the Samsung so I could record full 720p 60fps. However, these are both last year's models and this year Samsung has similar specs with the HMX-H300, but Sony threw me a curve ball with the HDR-CX130, which now shoots full 1080p video at 60fps. In my tests with the Samsung HMX-H200, in low light settings I saw more noise with 720 vs 1080, but in very well lit scenes, I couldn't tell much of a difference on my 21.5 inch monitor between 720 and 1080. That said, for my music performance shoot I will have plenty of light, so my question is should I just stick with the Samsung and record 720p 60fps if 720p is my target resolution for streaming this video on the web anyway? Or should I get the newer Sony and record at full 1080p and convert it to 720p in post? I've heard if you record higher quality from the beginning, your results will be better, even if converting to a lower resolution. Also, I've read that the bit rate that AVCHD records at is higher and therefore yields higher quality. But will this higher quality codec and higher resolution even be noticed when compared to 720p footage? Anyway, I'm at a point where I need to make a decision. I'm weighing the practicality of the Samsung with the possibility of added quality of the Sony at the higher resolution. I just don't know if I'll see that quality if I'm compressing my video for web streaming anyway. Any help would be appreciated, and if you have other camcorder ideas, feel free to mention those as well. Sorry for the book, kind of a simple yet loaded question. Thanks in advance!

I am assuming that the template is supposed to match my media. In other words, if I shot in HD, I should make sure my template matches those HD settings. If I shot in SD, I should make sure the template matches that such as NTSC DV 720x480. I am also assuming that you just render to whatever media you want your final project on. So, in my case, I have footage shot in HD. I want to edit it in Vegas, yet I want to have the option to output it to both HD Bluray and SD DVD. Is it as simple as me just setting up the template in HD, then choosing to render as either HD for BluRay or SD for DVD? Setting up the template in HD for editing but then rendering to SD will not cause issues will it?! Many thanks. Orpheus on "Canon 7D or videocamera? HD or SD? AVCHD Editing problems? Worth it?

(I would also like to do some still photography on the side, whether it is with the camera I buy or a separate still camera---this is factoring into my decision somewhat, but I want to focus on video.) Note: I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (the production package with after effects, etc..) Do I buy a 7D? Price vs performance seems tempting, but many people have problems editing AVCHD and I don't have CS5 with the Mercury Playback Engine. (I am buying a new computer soon, which I will make sure has the capability to edit HD, but is that worth it since I plan to output to DVD and the internet?) All of the codecs and conversions don't seem worth the effort depending on where my footage is going to end up...should I stick with Standard Definition? (The videocamera I have now is standard definition: Panasonic DVX100) I would like creative options, and being able to change lenses seems like more creative options. Also, my projects will mostly be small indie-film-like projects, so I won't really be doing live events. The downside to 7D is that there are many accessories that will add up if I want to use it primarily for video? Would I be better off putting that money into a videocamera from the start? I can always buy a separate still camera that takes great pictures to have alongside a videocamera. OR That brings us to my second option: Do I buy an HD videocamera? After I get my new computer, I would love to have great looking footage, but since I am only going to be outputting it to DVD in the end, does HD matter? How much better does it look than SD on DVD? People want video on the internet to load really fast these days, and if I shoot HD and upload HD, sure they have the HD option, but I would guess the majority just watch it Low Resolution anyways. So, that brings us to the big finale: What to do? The Panasonic AG-AF100 is 5,000 dollars and out of my budget. The 7D is within reach, but has lots of drawbacks. An HD prosumer videocamera might take a bit more time to save up for, BUT is it the right way to go if I want to focus on video? Then again, I can take still photographs anytime to practice photography, with some video projects on the side when friends are available to help. **Please feel free to join in with your opinion on what you would do in this situation, and explain WHY? What things would make you lean towards one option over the other?

I simply shot in HD because I wanted the option in the future to burn to Blu-ray, but won't be doing that as of yet. I don't want to use Sony Vegas Platinum though....I want more advanced options and more options later for BluRay, etc etc etc and thus need to edit, render, send the edited/rendered files to DVD architect pro 5.0, and then burn to DVD using Sony Vegas Pro, not Platinum. Sony Vegas Pro does not have this streamlined "make DVD" option like the nice consumer version does. After editing in Vegas Pro, I have to manually render my project using the plethora of options available, which honestly, I don't know much about. I've tried rendering using NTSC widescreen for DVD architect (MPEG-2), I've tried HDV with high settings, etc etc etc and when I drop these rendered files into DVD Architect, they don't turn out well quality-wise like they did in Sony Vegas Platinum using the automatic make DVD settings.Â I simply want to render these edited .mts files to a format that DVD architect will like and then burn in high quality so my DVDs look good on any DVD player with a standard monitor or HD monitor.Â Vegas Platinum does a great job, but it's unknown to me what it is doing behind the scenes to render my files before it sends them off to DVD architect. Obviously it works great given my test with Vegas Platinum and native .mts files, but I have no idea what Vegas Platinum is doing to convert or render these editing .mts files to make them still high quality and smooth for DVD architect.Â I just need to know how to replicate this process manually in Vegas Pro and I'm set. So to recap, and in a nutshell, I need to know what render settings to choose in Vegas Pro after editing my .mts files natively so I can then send them over to DVD architect pro 5.0 and burn my project to a DVD without loss of visual quality.

A bit confusing for me since I shot in HD, need to edit it but then output to SD, but then need to output in future to HD. My questions are as follows: 1. How should I set-up the Sony Vegas Pro template for my project and for color correction?Â Should I set it up as 1920 x 1080i HD even though it is going out first to standard definition 720 x 480? Or should I set up the template as 720 x 480 standard NTSC? How will the final decision affect future desires to output to Blu-ray as high definition? 2. How should I set up the monitors for color correction?Â Should I set up a CRT via firewire so that I can see what it looks like on a standard definition CRT?Â Or should I output to a 1920 x 1080 LCD computer monitor? Or both?Â Will color correcting in one format (HD) make it look funky in another format (SD) and vice-versa? What to recommend since I originally shot it in HD, need to first release it in SD, but then want the option to release it in HD later? Many thanks for the help; in the gurus I trust! 3DMOVIEMAN on "Stereoscopic 3D Video "Beauty" YT3D HD" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/stereoscopic-3d-video-beauty-yt3d-hd#post-66330 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 08:58:46 +0000 3DMOVIEMAN 66330@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Here is a stereoscopic photo montage I made, the photos were taken in the summer of 2010 with an Aiptek i2 3D camcorder. The video was put together with Magix Movie Edit Pro 17 Plus HD, it has great support for stereoscopic video production. <a title="http://youtu.be/UsC6PxAwKNI?hd=1" href="http://youtu.be/UsC6PxAwKNI?hd=1">http://youtu.be/UsC6PxAwKNI?hd=1</a> Florin Sev on "South East Asia Time Lapse Showreel" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/south-east-asia-time-lapse-showreel#post-65840 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 20:04:30 +0000 Florin Sev 65840@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Hello everybody!

I know, they're both brand new on the market and there hasn't been much time to do a real in-depth analysis. So without having them in my hands, here are just a small sampling of the differences I've seen online that might tip the scales toward one or the other: Price... Sony: about two grand Canon: about two grand Interchangeable lenses... Canon: Nope Sony: Yup Mic inputs... Canon: 2 XLR's Sony: single stereo 1/8" jack On-board microphone... Canon: Nope, but there's a mount + individual audio controls Sony: Yup, that awesome 4-pod thingy Kit lens... Sony: 18-200mm Canon: "35mm equivalent of" 30.4mm - 304mm Still photo capability... Sony: JPG, 14.6 megapixel Canon: nope Anybody been able to test both of these side-by-side yet?
