I understand that, I am just trying to use some music I downloaded to make a video for a family member, so it’s not to be used for anything other than that. Funny, I tried to go to a store and simply buy the cd, it’s amazing how few CDs are out there these days, I will just have to buy on Amazon, was hoping to start editing today. Thanks.

Thank you, that worked!

thank you, I will likely buy that DVD. Do you have a simple recommendation for a filter that gives the video an over all soft glow, I call it the Cybil Shepherd glow from Moonlighting, basically giving it a look as if it were shot with a pro mist white filter?

Thanks for the info on the kbps. We definitely would have shot this on DV if that was the only use, but unfortunately the clients want the footage in HD for future marketing use, this is becoming common with these big companies. The problem is we need to send it out SD for stations that aren’t HD yet. Also, the file sizes of a ten minute HD video, unless you know another way, are too large, thus the conversion is time consuming as is the upload to the server and download for the stations.

Thanks you for your post. The client only asked for a video data rate of 9000 kpbs. It was his recommendation. I have to admit I don’t know what that means, and why that’s important.
The issue we have with this is that we are in the business of doing Video News Releases, shooting, editing and delivering a 5-10 minute video to news stations all over the country, and thus we have very little time to wait for conversions. Having said that, I realize that these things take time. I am just simply looking for the fastest and best way to shoot the video on P2, edit in FCP (I chose to edit in a Standard Def DV timeline to minimize the size, Compressor seems to take too long. We then compress the video so that it is still broadcast quality 720 x 486(I totally get your point on what is exactly “broadcast Quality” I agree), and a file size that won’t take hrs to upload, or force us to spend ungodly $$ on an FTP that can handle the sizes. We really need these 5-10 minute videos be in the ballpark of 500mb and smaller.
