  • Canon XH A1S and Focus Enhancement FS-4Pro HD recording HD

    Posted by Robert Croy on January 23, 2012 at 2:59 pm

    We have been using the Canon XH A1S and XH A1 for a few years with the FS-4Pro Hd recorder using SD. Now we would like to go to HD but when I try to record on the recorder I do get a file but it will not open in QT Player X or QT 7 Pro. An error messages indicates that the file is damaged. I followed the manuals instructions to use the HD features but this does not seem to help. We have multiple recorders including a FS-5 and none of them will record a usable clip. Any one know what I am doing wrong?

    I don’t have any experience with the Focus Enhancements products, but I’m using a Datavideo DN-60 with my XH-A1S and it works flawlessly. I simultaneously record to tape and CF card for redundancy, but so far I’m very happily using the CF card to dump my files to my computer and edit in a fraction of the time it used to take. And I’m not dependant on proprietary rechargeable batteries either, since it’s powered by either alkaline or NiMH AA batts., or ac, so I’m a happy camper.
