Thanks for your suggestions.

The Canon Vixia and the Sony HDR-XR550V were to cameras that have come up in research and seem like the best bet for this job.

While the T2i will capture higher quality images, due to the 35mm lenses, we need a camera that is easy for everyone to use. The shooters will not be able to download footage on the fly, so big internal storage is important. Also, shooters will not have tripods, so image stabilizer is key.

Thanks. This information was helpful but didn’t seem to resolve the problem. My initial attempt was to edit the EX-1 HD footage (1080p, square PAR, 29.97) in a sequence set to match the SD footage (lower, NTSC-CCIR 601, 29.97). The result was a DVD with great looking SD footage and pixelated HD footage.
The DVD was encoded from FCP send to Compressor with best 150min settings because the show is over 2 hours.

Previously, I’ve edited P2 footage (imported with log and transfer) with SD footage and the resulting DVD was much better.

Any explanation for this?

Thanks again.

Thanks for the link John. I gather from this that LEDs are the way to go.

If anyone has experience with the Dell G2410 LED, I’d be happy to hear from them.
