If it is scaling to 740x480 for 16:19 it is a good thing (DVD quality). Some cameras actually chop pixels off the 640x480 SD footage to make it 16:9. If this is the case, I would stick with 4:3 robGRAUERT on "SD in 16:9" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sd-in-169#post-72465 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:46:33 +0000 robGRAUERT 72465@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ The difference is your 16:9 footage will be enlarged and fill your HD screen completely. With 4:3 footage, the image is enlarged, but black bars remain on the sides because the aspect ratio don't match. I don't think there is a difference in quality. I believe both the 4:3 and 16:9 footage are upscaled equally. But the upscaled 16:9 is probably more pleasing to look at.

Sorry for the delayed response but other things have taken my attention (short as my attention span sometimes can be ;-) but I wanted to let you know my first desire is to actually, someday, find the time and mental energy to tackle rebuilding ONE system into a retro-powerhouse system, with another as a backup. This may require raiding them all ... actually, with the exception of my own original dual tower (one for the system, one to house the drives and some other stuff) all of these were working production systems when I acquired them. When I'd go to pay and pick up, the sellers around Southern California turned them on for me, took them through a few paces, answered questions I've now forgotten that I asked and have also forgotten their answers, but none-the-less they were/are all in working condition. That's been awhile, however, so ... Anyway, I go two ways with what I have: five towers and one flat case, most of them with toaster and flyer guts, TBCs and other components; LOTS of software and guides and how-to books, as well as the Flyer Mastery Guide by Joe Tracy. Two ways? I'd sell the whole shebang and occasionally look back regretfully for about $5K plus shipping; or after actually putting one main and one back up system together, parts out the rest, selling what I could to whomever needed it. So, at least for now, I sell it all or nothing until I reinstate my own. Stay in touch with me. I do want to hear your adventures as you proceed with this. If/when I sell or reinstate, I will do the same.

I actually found a nice old JVC VHS-C Camcorder that is "professional quality"... I right now cannot remember the model, but it is a nice 3 tube model. I think that will go nicely with the system. Unfortunately, my system is an A2000 and though I have a flyer card, I am using only one of my spare VT4k cards in the 2000 and really need to find a second TBC card,so perhaps we can get in touch. Feel free to leave me a PM if you like. Again, thanks for the response and yes, the Toaster seems to have a place even in these HD times -- At least for CG anyhow.

That Amiga Toaster Flyer system was to die for in its day and still has a LOT of power (not processing but creatives, especially Lightwave and some of the titling and real time transitions). And yes, the 7300 is a "very nice" professional S-VHS camcorder. I still have my AG-460 studio rig and my S-VHS-C model AG 3 Palmcorder. I also have enough components to build three solid Amiga Toaster Flyer systems with lots of extras and spare parts from three or four other. Seven,I think without going into my walk-in closet and counting, that I accumulated over the years while transitioning to other editing systems. I'm currently doing all my work on a Mac Pro with Final Cut Pro. But not a day goes by that I don't wish I had the time and inclination to dedicate a long weekend to resurrecting at least two Toaster Flyer systems and using them for certain special projects, especially montage production which would be a piece of cake, and re-familiarizing myself with Lightwave to do some really cool title and simple 2D animations like I was once able. They could be created quickly, it only took forever for them to render out. Sorry to take a trip down nostalgia lane on the Amiga system, as I don't have ANY idea where to find a manual for that AG-7300. I hope somebody here can help you out with that. Hope over time you'll share with us (at least a few of us MUST still look back on the Toaster with fond memories) what you do and accomplish with your vintage system. And keep in mind that there are countless high quality camcorders out there, even in the digital realm that have S-Video output and could be utilized with your Amiga Toaster 4000.

Before purchasing I read some reviews (all where good to excellent) and I researched some sample videos online, all of which looked pretty good for a cam of this budget. Now that I use it though, have noticed that the camera produces allot of noise, even in bright light- which is not very visible after the video is compressed, so I did not notice on the samples I watched online. Videos taken after dark, even in relatively well lit environments (such as bussy bar streets) are pretty useless. Is this normal for such a camera? I am bluffed because I thought it would produce at least decent videos.

For my business, I want to do a multicamera shoot. Here is my hardware set up...I have 2 Panasonic HPX170's, each connected via SDI to a Panasonic HMX100 Video Mixer. I have a regular LCD computer monitor connected to the HMX100 via DVI-D in addition to a AJA KI Proto connected to the HMX100 to serve as the recording device for the single video shot. Now here is the dumb question (ready for it?): I cannot get the camera output for each camera to appear on the reference monitor. It shows nothing. Now I don't have P2 cards in the camera, b/c I don't think I will need them given I am recording the "mixed" video shot from the video mixer to the AJA Ki Pro. But nothing appears and when I hit the record button on the camera, nothing happens. I believe I have set up the mixer appropriately, because the reference monitor does show 2 mini windows for the two cameras, but they are white and nothing shows up. Please help! And please be kind!

(so i'm hoping to get compensate for lowlight with a strong enough on camera spot light) budgetwise, GH2 + strong spotlight will probably cost the same as a 5D mark ii. but the other GH2 features are also important to me. what bother me is the GH2 smaller sensor. is it worth loosing all the other features for better low light? or can i compensate the low light with spot light. lens, i'm already looking at the 14-140mm range, or canon 18-200mm or 24-105mm (not too familiar with canon lens yet). speaking of lens, know fast lens can really produce well and enhance quality as well. GH2 has a f/.95 lens out.

Panasonic will be sponsoring their request by giving a discount. But they need to request the model which will be most suitable for their needs. Could you please guide us a bit according to the specifics below? Budget: US$3000 - to get 2 cameras with their accessories. Hopefully the discount will be substantial. Output target: acceptable TV quality for local viewing in Malaysia. But does not have to be high end (naturally, with the budget!). Editing software: Windows 7, Sony Vegas and Adobe Premier Shooting environment: will definitely include some humid places in the forest. They lost their older Canon HV40 cameras to problems caused by humidity. I am volunteering for this group. Personally I am carrying a TM700. I like it, but editing gave me some problems and its full HD ability actually cost me in terms of weight of several external drives to carry around with me. They could get that one, but it is now out of shelves. Perhaps we could use TM900 as the benchmark for any suggestions you may have. We got little time before they meet Panasonic, so any prompt responses will be highly appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

But like any any tool, knowing it helps you get your best results. Any camcorder using MPEG style compression (MPEG-2, AVC, etc) will have some limitations you won't have with DV models. Simple put, when you have any interframe compression (one frame dependent on subsequent or previous frames... all MPEG algorithms use this), you will absolutely be able to move the camera fast enough to pretty much destroy your video. Unlike most of the camcorders I have used, the TM700 is at least polite enough to suggest you slow down when you do move the camera too fast. I have used the TM700 as a "B" camera on quite a few projects (HMC40 is the "A" camera) that went to Blu-ray, internet, and DVD. You will not see the quality of the HD video on DVD... not even close. The TM700 is shooting at full HD resolution, DVD has only 1/6th the spatial resolution. But you can deliver video that is as good as anything you can put on DVD... and in fact, better than any DV camcorder used for DVD (particularly NTSC DV to NTSC DVD, since DV25 in NTSC is encoded in 4:1:1 color, DVD in 4:2:0 color, so you're actually subsampling color twice on the way from realty to DVD if you use DV in-between). hoverboy on "hdc-tm700 artifacts?" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hdc-tm700-artifacts#post-67673 Wed, 04 May 2011 19:28:44 +0000 hoverboy 67673@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ I've burned several DVDs and have had consistently sharp footage.
