I need to hand it in this week.  Is there some way or how I could dub or transfer to tape from the Camera? If anyone has any input on this, that would be great.  Thanks. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/making-sd-look-good-on-hdtv#post-57624 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 12:17:33 +0000 michaellester 57624@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>When I convert my old VHS and Video8 tapes to digital, they look fine on a regular TV but when viewing</p> <p> them on my 42 inch HDTV, they don't look very good. </p> <p>I use a Toshiba DVD/VHS player (model SD-V296KU) hooked to a Canopus ADVC 300 to convert from analog to<br /> digital. From the ADVC 300, the signal goes to Sony Vegas Pro editing software in the PC. After some editing, the result is burned onto a DVD.</p> <p>What can I do to make the viewing look better on my HDTV. I realize that standard definition cannot<br /> technically be up-converted to high definition but is there some way to make the quality of the picture better than standard definition? </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/camcorder-with-good-manual-controls-and-good-sd-quality#post-45149 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 22:35:12 +0000 Scott D 45149@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>  I am making video tutorials that I want to do in standard definition. I am looking for good image quality and I would like a camcorder with good manual controls without having to button poke my way through menus. Good manual focus is important to me and I want real manual exposure not just apeature / shutter priority. I was given a JVC GR HD1U but the SD video quality is worse than my consumer grade Casio camcorder and the JVC does not have real manual exposure. And I only want to spend up to 2K. Thanks in advance for your help.  Scott</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/can-hd-camera-record-in-sd#post-36804 Sun, 25 May 2008 15:14:29 +0000 awes125 36804@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>This may be a dumb question, but can all HD video cameras record in Standard Definition as well? I am thinking of getting an HD camera for various projects but would also like to keep shooting some projects in SD and I don't want to have to down convert everytime. Does the Canon XH A1 shoot in SD?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/transferring-footage-on-avchd-camcorder-shooting-in-sd-into-fcp6#post-35396 Tue, 04 Mar 2008 01:31:31 +0000 Got1fin 35396@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've been using AVCHD on my Sony HDR-SR1 camcorder and it transfers just fine into FCP6. However, when I shoot in SD format I go into the "log and capture" screen where I normally transfer my AVCHD files only to find that the SD footage isn't there.</p> <p>Does anyone know how to transfer SD footage shot on an AVCHD camcorder into FCP6? I've been fiddling around with this problem for awhile...please help. Thanks!</p>
