    Arniepix… I have thought in the HVX for a long time… I love its images… but when you shut a lot, like me….(10 hours per month aprox) where do you will archive your footage? That will give you 600 gigs, 1200 gigs in two months, 1800 gigs in three and so on…

    Are you kidding? SD to HD Upconvert. HD to SD Downconvert. 720 to 1080i Cross Convert. 1080i to 720 Cross Convert. 4:4:4 HD Capture. Pretty much capture anything in, master anything out.

    $3,000 is incredibly cheap to work in true HD.

    Actually, I think it’s rather cheap. Take a look at what Avid charges for HD. And remember that their prices have come down in the last couple of years!

    We just wrapped production last week on a feature that we shot about 23 hours worth of footage for. For archiving, we used dual layer DVDs. They’re kind of a pain in the a** right now because the burn speeds are still slow, & we made a few coasters in the process, but once they’re burned to disk, they’ll outlast video tape by a long shot.
