Don,
Yes, that is similar to what I am seeing in the viewfinder, but when I playback, the effect on the monitor is about 4x worse. Incidently, I thought you were a nice guy before, but you’ve gotten even nicer since becoming a forum host. Please, don’t lose that, even after having to deal with all the stupid posts….like mine. -
Yes, I think I just need to do some more testing under more actual shooting conditions, and not just panning stationary objects. I was just concerned that something may be wrong with the camera. For the time being, for paying gigs, I think I’ll just stick to 60p.

Do think it could have anything to do with the camera’s output being 60p? I’m not sure if strobing is the correct term. Jitter might be more descriptive. For example, as I pan across a post, the post appears to move rapidly horizontally, like it’s vibrating. And I’m talking about camera pans / moves. Same problem on two different monitors (consumer HDTVs).

Shutter speed is 1/60. I don’t think posting a clip will help. As I said, it doesn’t look bad on computer. It’s only when playing out of the camera that the strobing looks really exaggerated.

Yes, I tried all those as well.

That’s odd. It seems like a logical way to keep track during shooting, rather than time code, etc.

Thanks Don. What I should have asked is, How do I get the status display on the video composite output, not the component output. I have a standard def monitor on the steady rig and the crane, and when I tried it last, I don’t think I was getting the status display, but I just tried it again, and it’s there. So, I must be losing my mind. Sorry for the trouble.

Plus, there is great concern over Steve Jobs’s health. He looked thin and gaunt at his last keynote, and he was nowhere to be found and yesterday’s event. Apples’s performance is very much tied to this one person, or at least that’s the way it is perceived on Wall St., and there is no apparent succession plan in place.

Try “fastest encode” or 1-pass fixed setting. No need for 2-pass variable with a program of only 25 min.
Set your bit-rate at 7-7.5 with Dolby audio. A bit-rate of 8 might be pushing it a bit, especially if you are not doing Dolby audio.
