I’m afraid Adam only covers Mini-DV and DVCAM, no mention of any other format.

Then I guess you’re going to have to Google it.

This question was posted on (at least) two forums and took half a day to communicate.

Google takes a fraction of a second to locate hundreds (if not thousands) of relevant sites.

Wrong:

I did a google search for:

“pro camcorder formats”
“professional camcorder formats”

and nothing came up that covered HD, HDV, DVCPROHD, XDCAM, D9 or Digibeta.

All Google came up with was Mini-DV and DVCAM.

So, I thought I’d check here, where the professionals hang out.

I know Adam’s site, and I totally admire the guy, but he too only seems to cover the basic Mini-DV and DVCAM formats.

What I am looking for is a long chronological list of all the digital formats from Mini-DV right through to HD-George Lucas and everything in-between, about 15 or so in total including the ones I mentioned.

I have been researching this for a couple of weeks, these posts are my last resort.

I know you are not stupid, but it does appear that way. Type Videotape Formats.
