Oh, terrific! 720p variable frame rates from 4p to 60p is just fine with me.
Barry, I had to read your post like 12 times, but I understand. I’ve always understood that VFR would only be to P2 and not tape, but thanks for detailing everything else.
In the meantime, for anyone that is interested, I found a film lab that telecines directly to harddrive in uncompressed HD. So until the new Panny camera ships, or I hit lotto and buy a Varicam, we can buy an old Bolex on eBay and overcrank/undercrank and then transfer to harddrive (as .mov or .avi) and not deal with DVCPRO HD, or HDCAM. In some ways, it makes shooting on film almost a bargain since we get to avoid any capture deck expenses. Weird, film is sort of more relevant in the coming age of tapeless acquisition using this model.
Oh, here is the link to the site for anyone that is interested. I’m in the process of getting their “test drive” now to see if their files play along on my system.

Oh, cool. I just looked at that today. Looks nice, even has component ins.
Are you using the 24″ as your “windows secondary display?” I have a matrox multihead card and I did some testing with Vegas using one of my 21″ CRT monitors as the Vegas’s full screen display. Something just *looks* wrong with the picture compared to a regular NTSC display. Of course it’s just SD, but even some sample HDV footage just doesn’t look very high res.
If you don’t mind, what is your experience using an LCD as a 2nd display for previews? If good, how do you have it set up?
Thanks a mill!

Right… I gotcha no direct previewing of HDV. The full screen preview feature, I’m aware of that so I guess that is the best bet for editing. Unless you go the DV proxy file route, then batch the full HDV later.
Just out of curiosity, Are you using a LCD 24″ HD?
Thanks for the reply!

Nic, does Windows recognize it? I think on XP you can go to control panel and under imaging devices you should see something when the deck is turned on and plugged in… also my system “chimes” when I plug in a new device.
If so, make sure you have device control enabled in Vegas under preferences.

sorry about that, didn’t even spell your name correctly… Barend — got it.
Thanks,

Bared, yeah, that makes sense, most companies are reasonable like that. I’ll order the upgrade today. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
