  Converting from XDCAM HD to HDV

  Posted by Chrome on June 15, 2007 at 12:30 pm

  Hi All,

  I have a project on the timeline done in XDCAM HD and want to export it to my new Sony HDV deck, what is the best way to do the conversion to allow me to save it to the deck and keep the quality up?

  All help appreciated.

  I’d suggest that you export a reference movie to compressor, and use it’s “advanced format conversions” to get the job done.

  Easiest thing to do is to create a new sequence in HDV and drop your XDCAM HD sequence into it, then render. After that, you can just “Print to Tape” like normal.

  BUT first, let me ask… is the footage shot XDCAM HD SP (25 mbit)? If so, its already HDV. If its XDCAM HD HQ (35 mbit), then you have to do the conversion I just spoke of.

  I’ve done this many times without quality loss.
