The last option is more expensive but a lasting solution.  Blue Ray Writer in your currency ± $ 250 empty Blue disc ± $ 20-25.  You will have to comply with minimum Computer Processing power(for 1080P at least Core2 Quad with decent Screen card) Happy edditing</p> <p>David  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-new-high-def-hdd#post-45456 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 05:36:10 +0000 birdcat 45456@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I think as a rule three chip cameras are better than single chip cameras (Red One exception noted).</p> <p>You may want to look at other than HDD - like SxS or P2 based or even HDV.  I am now using a HDD consumer HD camera (Sony HDR SR11) and while I love it and am very pleased with it's performance, I kinda wish I had a physical copy of what I film for backup purposes.  Right now, I copy from the camera to TWO external hard drives on my PC before deleting from the camera just to make sure I don't lose anything in the event of a HD crash (have had this hapen already - lost some stuff and it will cost me lots of $$$ to get it back).</p> <p>The biggest thing you need to identify is your budget and once you have a hard number, list your feature priorities and see what you come up with.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-new-high-def-hdd#post-45441 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 20:55:36 +0000 lolito 45441@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am planning to buy a new <strong>High Def.

The picture is not very impressive in low light like you said. At church, my 4 year old Panasonic run circles around it. HDD camera are nice because you can capture hour after hour of footage.

MiniDV has a lot going for it, Tapes make a good archive, you can switch tapes in the middle of a wedding when otherwise your HDD (don't care how big it is) is full. Mostly, when you sit down to edit, your computer doesn't choke on some strange file compression issue, it just digests the SD MiniDV. BTW I shot a VX2000 sony for a while and it IS a great camera. Maybe an HV-20 might be in your range, awesome HD, shoots to MiniDV and makes a good tape deck when you become more rich and famous.

They're practically the same camera, but the PD170 has XLR inputs, which I find handy. If you don't need XLR inputs, then definitely go with the VX2100. It will be cheaper than the PD170, whether used or new.</p> <p>Thanks for pointing that out birdcat.

Personally, I'd record to tape unless you have a camera that records to some sort of memory card, such as a P2 card from Panasonic or an SxS card from Sony. I dunno what it is about hard disk drive cameras, I just don't trust em. I'd want to know my footage is recorded securely. Tape is almost always reliable; however, MiniDV is highly susceptible to drop out, and P2 cards are a proven technology. Robust as hell they are.</p> <p>If you choose to go with a camera that records to a miniDV tape, I suggest a Sony camera that records the DVCam codec. It records to a miniDV tape, but at a faster rate, so it is less like to have drop out. A 60min tape will last 40 minutes though. </p> <blockquote><p> "What DVC would help me out on the indoor or low light problem?"</p></blockquote> <p>I've heard that Sony is notorious for shooting well in low light, and it just so happens that I was shooting last night outside in a parking lot. The only light available were the parking lot lights (I wasn't shooting anything important, otherwise I would have used a lighting kit), and it wasn't very bright at all, but the footage came out so good for the conditions. I had to boost gain quite a bit (I think 12dB) and the footage still isn't grainy.</p> <p>So based on what you're looking for, I'd suggest the Sony PD170. It can record the DVCam codec, which I suggested above, and it's a powerhouse in low light shooting, as I explained in my example from shooting last night. I think you would be VERY satisfied with this camera.</p> <p>As far as the price goes, the PD170 is like, $3000 new in B&amp;H. When I was looking for one, I looked for a used one on Craigs List becase I don't see a reason for me (or anyone) to drop 3 grand for an SD camera. I found my used PD170 on Craig's List for $1800, but afterward I've seen them for as low as $1400. If this camera is a little out of your budget, I highly suggest trying to save up a few more dollars just to get it because it's such a good camera. I'm very pleased with mine.</p> <p>If you get a used one, I'd also suggest you get it professionally cleaned from a Sony authorized service center. And be sure to meet up in person to purchase the camera. You want to make sure it's working properly before you hand over 1400-2000 dollars. </p> <p>Good luck.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hard-disk-or-mini-dv#post-39523 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 22:34:27 +0000 hamzter 39523@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hi, I am new to the videography world, and I have been post editing since January.  My buddy let me use his JVC GZ-HD7U hard disk video camcorder.  I have been using for the last 2 months.  I am real comfortable with the controls for the most part.  The only thing that I do not like with it is the indoor shooting with low light is not very good.</p> <p> So I am in the market to get a camera soon to do weddings, indoor events like concerts and action video.  My 2 questions are:</p> <p> 1.  Should I stay with a hard disk DVC or go with Mini-DV media?</p> <p> 2.  What DVC would help me out on the indoor or low light problem?</p> <p> I am trying to stay in the under $1000 range but my budget can be at about the $1500 or so price range.  I see that the GZ-HD7U can be had for about $600, but I wonder if there is something else out there that can work for me.</p> <p>thanks for the help,</p> <p>Mark</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-i-get-a-cartoony-image#post-36905 Tue, 27 May 2008 18:35:07 +0000 mrjman 36905@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Idk its seems a little weird but oh well free!!! lol I was looking at some of your other youtube videos and a saw a video called a wintery walk and i was wondering what program that you used to make the snowflakes in the background and the words scroll across the screen and stuff?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-i-get-a-cartoony-image#post-36898 Tue, 27 May 2008 17:38:59 +0000 BarefootMedia 36898@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Oh boy are you folks gonna love this.  NewBlueFX writes plug-ins for all the major (and a lot of the minor) NLE's.  The are top notch additions to every NLE.  I suppose they are moderately priced, it's out of my budget for a while.  Except for one.</p> <p>They are currently GIVING AWAY for FREE their new CartoonR plug-in.  It is "ridiculously easy to use" and I will attest to that.  They are trying to sell you things though.  Whenever I use it on my timeline, it causes an advert to pop up, inviting you to visit their web site and perhaps make a purchase.  I just close the window and start fine tuning to get the effect I want.</p> <p>Go to <a href="http://www.newbluefx.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.newbluefx.com</a> to get the FREE plug-in.  I've posted the video I made the first time I played with CartoonR on YouTube right here <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtZkqbwa9Y4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtZkqbwa9Y4</a> (should that go awry, I'm BarefootMedia there too.)</p> <p>I don't know how long they are giving CartoonR away, so get the plug-in for your NLE soon.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-i-get-a-cartoony-image#post-36885 Tue, 27 May 2008 08:23:57 +0000 robGRAUERT 36885@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Yea, i agree with the others.
