Hi everyone,

Would you all that are having the problem identify which version of Quicktime you have loaded?

Thanks,

Hi,

DVCPRO, DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO HD can only be recorded on the P2 card. These formats are based, in the tape domain, Metal Particle tape, which is not available in such a small size. Additionall there are not enough records heads in there for the DVCPRO50 or DVCPRO HD recording.

Hope this helps,

Jan

[HolyCowSeattle] “(Again, we have not received our book yet…thanks Panasonic…its been 4 months.)”

Hi,

If you wish, you can send me an email off-line, include your serial number, the name of your dealer and your name and address and I will check the files to see what happened. You should have it by now if you signed in at the website when it when up at the beginning of August.

What I have found when there is a problem, is that there are,in general, three main reasons, the mail lost the application, there is a problem with the serial number, or there is a problem with the shipping address and the book has been returned to us.

crittendenj at us.panasonic.com I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Jan

I would transfer all of the Data to a DLT device, and then you wouldn’t lose quality to the HDV process. There is a lot of compression in HDV that is not in DVCPRO HD. Take a look at the inexpensive Dell DLTs, the machine is around $2200 and you can store about 200 GBs for about 50-60 bucks.

Hope this helps,

Jan

[Uli Plank] “Well, if you want to shoot HD progressive, you can make it compatible to some degree.
There’s a little hack to the scene files from Barry Green (I think you can find it here on the list) which makes a European model run at a speed very close 24 fps. We use it all the time, but for film-out. Be sure to test the whole workflow before buying, since there might be sound-sync issues….”

You would lose the ability to record audio on the camera but if you are shooting dual system, this isn’t such a big deal, you just need to make sure you can bring audio and image back together. I am not certain as to how it edits though. Uli, since you do it all the time, what is the frame rate for editing and ingest, is it 23.98? Obviously this is a PN mode. But since in the PAL countries going from 25 frame to 24 frame has been doen for years and years for filmmaking, seems to me that there is not such a huge problem here.

[Uli Plank] “You might have to buy Sonys Z1 and Panasonic will loose a client for this otherwise fantastic camera…”

But then you would not have the ability to record in progressive modes as the Z1 camera does not have progressive modes, it is strictly an interlace capture. Additionally its 24 frame cinemode is just purely unuseable mostly due to the HDV algorithm, better to record in 60i and then put it through Magic Bullet to get 24 frame look. If your objective is to make films then you should start with a camera that captures the image progressively, there is just more resolution there to start with.

Best,

Jan

Hi,

Unfortunately the HVX is not switchable between NTSC and PAL.

Sorry,

Hi,

Intervolometer only works in P2 Mode.

Hope that helps,

Hi Jon,

From looking at your settings I would say that you problem stems from the fact that you are calling DV50, DV. DV50 is 50Mbs at 4:2:2, DV is 25Mbs 4:1:1. Try changing the import to the correct setting, it should improve a number of issues for you.

Best,
