It really depends on the setup and connections available to you between your computer, DVD recorder or standalone black box editor. I'm probably not in a high enough pay grade to know all the connection options for every unit out there, but usually if your computer and camera both have firewire, and your computer is video friendly you'd be good to go.</p> <p>I have an equally antique Casablanca dedicated black box editing system that still works and will take the firewire feed off my GL2, or the S-video feed off my Panasonic AG-3, or even my XL1 units, and record directly to hard drive. There are solutions provided you know your equipment and have the connectivity. Beyond that, I've considered acquiring either a direct-to-portable-hard-drive or direct to SDHC recorder unit, but as you say they are more expensive alternatives. A CHEAP price, however, when you consider being able to repurpose a once-equally expensive camcorder that generates a great signal but is losing it somewhat in the tape transport system, etc.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/trying-to-salvage-canon-gl1-in-the-digital-age#post-70210 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 16:41:05 +0000 FireFly 70210@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>my canon GL1 has been sitting lonely on a shelf for a few years now. i never liked having to do video capture in order to get the video into my pc which is probably one of the reasons i gave up on video as a hobby - that is until digital camcorders that could record to sdhc came on the scene. since then, i've been rekindling my hobby since it is so each to get video into the pc now. but, i still wish i could find some use for my GL1 without breaking the bank.  does anyone know if any of these things are possible and how to do it</p> <p>1 - connect the GL1 directly to a pc to record directly to disk rather than to a miniDV tape. i would be willing to use the camera in a fixed studio setting if this is possible</p> <p>2 - is there a cheap miniDV player that can convert a tape to sdhc or a harddrive</p> <p>3 - i know there is a cool device that can connect to the DV port and record directly to a built in hard drive, but this is rather expensive - way more than what i would be willing to spend. <a href="http://store.mcetech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&amp;Product_Code=QSDV-HDV-6&amp;Category_Code=DV&amp;Product_Count=0">http://store.mcetech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&amp;Product_Code=QSDV-HDV-6&amp;Category_Code=DV&amp;Product_Count=0</a></p> <p>any suggestions would be appreciated.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/gy-hm100-sdhc-cards#post-69299 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 10:25:46 +0000 Kristof 69299@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'll definitely keep that in mind, thanks.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/gy-hm100-sdhc-cards#post-69298 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 08:35:30 +0000 CraftersOfLight 69298@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&nbsp;Some points to keep in mind.</p> <p>A lot of issues with memory cards in these types of devices (cameras, audio recorders, etc.) have been linked to people not formatting them in the device to be used&nbsp;BEFORE use. Not all FAT32 is treated the same by these devices&nbsp;and this allows the device to set up it's file structure in the memory card before actual use. In some cases this formatting can catch compatibility problems before you try to put critical data on them.</p> <p>My process has been the following.&nbsp;The only 2 card issues I have ever had was losing the&nbsp;write protect&nbsp;tab (I use SDHC and write&nbsp;protect them when I take them out of the camera. Losing this tab puts it in write protect so you still have access to your data);</p> <p>New card goes in and is formatted immediately.</p> <p>Cards that I copy the data off of go through the same process before reuse once I confirm a valid copy was taken.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/gy-hm100-sdhc-cards#post-69296 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 02:05:13 +0000 Kristof 69296@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I don't think I'm able to get micro center products anywhere near me (Belgium).

Unless I did have a camera (doesn't help that you don't specify which one - somebody might be curious enough to do the lookup for you) that I researched and confirmed it could be firmware upgraded to use 32, I see no serious benefit, for the price, of paying so much more for 32, with in most cases 16 will do the job quite well - capacity-wise.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/is-it-possible-for-a-camcorder-that-supports-a-sdhc-card-up-to-16gb-to-update#post-54105 Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:14:44 +0000 wwinter86 54105@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Is it possible for a camcorder that supports a SDHC card up to 16GB to get a firmware update to support 32GB? or is this down purely to hardware? </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/solstice-sunrise#post-48246 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 15:03:56 +0000 Jennifer O'Rourke 48246@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Very pretty. I especially liked the shot at 1:12 - 1:39, the sun traveled across the sky with the music well. Some of the beats of the music didn't match the cuts, and the rabbit felt out of place, but the overall video showed a beautiful morning for a nice Summer Solstice gathering. The imagery of the 150 was beautiful. I didn’t see any grain or video noise, maybe it’s just the program I was viewing it through. This made me want to go out at 4:AM and shoot again like I did in the old days when shooting was number one and a full night’s sleep took a backseat. Did you shoot all day?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/solstice-sunrise#post-48200 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 00:03:59 +0000 KenzoFKC 48200@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>June 21st 2009. Allison and I stayed up all night and headed to the top of Tumwater hill about 4:30 am to watch the sun rise. Still in the honeymoon phase with my new<br /> Panasonic HMC-150, still getting to know it, to understand it's strengths, weaknesses and limitations. A beautiful sunrise. Saw a rabbit while up there, he made it in to the video, and helped me<br /> realize what music I wanted to cut this to. "Time" is one of my all time favorite songs. I know I'm not supposed to use it, but I could think of nothing else that seemed more fitting to me than this song. I'm not making any money on this video, and I gave credit, so we'll see what happens...</p> <p>At full resolution some of the darker areas seem a bit noisy.  I've been quite impressed with the camera overall so far - caveat; the chassis seems cheap to me.  It's all plastic.  After coming from the DVX-100b and it's solid magnesium alloy chassis, the HMC seriously seems like it could never be as durable as the DVX. Not that I plan on dropping it - and I realize that plastics are a phenomenal material. In all actuality, it's probably fine, it just <em>feels</em> cheap.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIuY-rePSw8&amp;feature=channel_page" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIuY-rePSw8&amp;feature=channel_page</a></p> <p>Any words of encouragement or condemnation are respected and/or appreciated!
