DVX footage in the wild!

The 1080p clip is mucked up, but the 720p clip looks lovely….

Mucked up?
Looks pretty good here.

on another note, does anyone know if panasonic is releasing a much
smaller/limited version of the HVX, more along the lines of the
Sony A1U in the months/years to come?

If you’re referring to the H.264’s, neither was output truly properly. The 1080 clip was messed up — it’s been scaled down to 720 and the pulldown is still present. I uploaded a raw 24p, pulldown-free, properly-sized .WMV file, and that’s what someone should look at rather than the H.264.

As for the 720p H.264, that was apparently output as a 60p file, and I don’t know why they did that. It should have been output as a 24p file… I’d replace that one too, but I’m relying on the prerelease alpha version of DVFilm Maker, which works very well for 1080/24pa footage but I don’t think it handles 720p/variable frame rate yet…
